What we have been up to!

This month is only half way over and has been
crazy! We have been so busy. I don't think my
kids have had the chance to say they have been
bored yet this summer. Here are some things
That we have been upto in the last week. Enjoy!




I agreed like any other mother who loves her
child and thinks that she is accomplishing things
that are way bigger then her to let Alyssa have a
Birthday party. She wanted to have a spa day so
here are some of the gals in their bathrobs after
they have recieved the royal spa treatment of
makeovers, mini-mani, mini-pedi, facial scrubs
and the works. 11 girls showed plus I had a baby
and was on my own except for a few of my
young women I invited over to help. Lets
just say that was not one of my brighter ideas
and I was pretty sure I was going to go nuts.
But all in all it was fun and they looked great!



Every year I try to make a fun cake for my kids
of their choosing. Well since I have had baby #3 I
didn't think I would have the time or creativity to
do a masterpiece like in years past. This is the cake
I made for Alyssa's friend party. It is supposed to
look like a present. Cute huh?




Here is Alyssa blowing out the candels on her
actual birthday. She turned 8!



Avery assisting Alyssa in unwrapping her gifts
at our family get together.



Cake #2 I made for the family party
It is supposed to look like a flower
garden. Again not my one of my
masterpieces but I say it turned out
pretty good since I only frosted it with
one hand!




We spent part of fathers day in with Aaron
and Kami and the family at Sydnee's baby
blessing. She looked so beautiful in her blessing
dress. It was a fun way to spend the day!



Here is Griffin chillin in Alyssa's Hannah Montana
sun glasses she got for her B-Day.




My cute hubby Ron holding Sydnee at the
luncheon at Aaron and Kami's house.



This is at the BBQ we had at our house for
Ron's family for Fathers Day. One of my kids
thought it would be cute to make Aidan a hat
out of a paper bowl. Poor baby! He is such a
good sport.




This week we have started swimming lessons
my kids LOVE them and it is a good way to
get out the house and have some fun. Here is
Avery goofin around when she was supposed to
be learning! She told me she thinks that she is
a mermaid.




Here is Alyssa also at swimming lessons. I have
been watching her and she is a natural swimmer.



Okay Avery doesn't have a helmet that fits
so I guess she thought that she would improvise.
This is a kids meal box from McDonalds she is
wearing as a helmet. Helemet and PJ's stunning
combo!




Alyssa also outside in her PJ's riding
bikes. The weather is so nice who
can pass it up.
