Family Pictures

On July 7th, my brother Paul, decided to leave us for a few months to study in Germany. He has already been gone a few weeks and we miss him dearly. After him being home all summer my girls became really attached and have really missed him. Naturally my mom really wanted some family pictures before he left so I thought I would post a few of them!

July 4th 2009

I absolutely love July 4! We had such a fun weekend! Andy finally gave in and played doubles with me in an outdoor tournament on Friday! It was his first time and we took 3rd. I loved playing with my husband, we had so much fun! We drove home that night so that we could be home for the Fourth! Saturday morning we went to the parade and the girls loved it. After their much needed nap we Barbecued at our house with my family. It was a unanimous decision that Andy made the BEST steaks we had ever had! They were Awesome!! Later that evening we went to my uncle Wade's for (of course) another Barbecue! I love going over there because we get to see lots of family that we don't see often! Then we ended the evening at Ashley Elementary (where we always meet up with the Olsen's) for the Fireworks! After the fight with traffic our girls were so pooped they didn't even wake going from the car to the house, and they still slept in til nine!
I had such a fun weekend so thanks to my Hubby for being such a good sport!

TaiLee's First Birthday

I am a total slacker when it comes to blogging, but I can't forget to post some pictures of my babie's first Birthday! I cannot believe how fast this past year has gone by! We had one big party weekend on Father's Day weekend, (that's how big of a slacker I am), we had a party at the Rec Center so that the little kids could go swimming. It was a blast, easy entertainment and easy clean up for me!! On Sunday we had another Birthday Party/Father's Day Party! Of course after spending all day decorating for a Luau outside the terrible rain/wind storm came through with feiry at exactly party time so we had to party in the garage with no decorations! Oh well, it was Fun!! All in all it was a great weekend celebrating my babies milestones and honoring my awesome Dad and the best husband in the world!! They are both the Best Father's, I couldn't ask for more. I am glad we have a day just for them! Thanks for sharing it with TaiLee! I love you both so much!!
