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!!

So everyday I think to myself that I need to blog but I can't seem to find the time. Today I am leaving my house a disaster so I can blog! (sorry hubby) Here are a few pictures that sum up the past few months!

Tay had her yearly checkup at the cardiogist. She is very nervous about going to doctors, (for good reason) but she was so good! We were very proud of her!



So after we left the hospital we headed home and Andy and I were talking about how proud of Ataya we were so we made a last second exit off the freeway and decided to take the girls to the Zoo!


My baby starting to walk on Mother's Day Weekend


Tay starting Itty Bitty ball! She loved it!

Happy Easter

We had a great Easter! We went camping at Red Fleet which has kind of turned into our Long Family tradition. Since Easter falls right during the crunch time of tax season, Red Fleet is about as far as we go(thanks to the CPA's in the family)! It's great though, full water and electric hookups is my idea of camping.........not really........but kinda!!
Anyways, We had lots of fun and once again, the girls got way to much from the Easter bunny!! My family was in Missouri watching my oldest brother play volleyball, we sure missed them but they had a great time too! Here are just a few pictures from the weekend!
