Our First Family Reunion

The whole family

Say...I wanna go home

Steady... Steady....

TIMBERRRRR

These kids make us look good...

Thanks to my friend Rita and her parents, we were able to take our family pictures in their backyard. It worked out great! We have not had family pictures since Ella was 6 months old.

It was great to have everyone together at our home. We had a great time and we already miss having them here. Thank you all for coming and we love you!

Memories

Here's a little game! I like games....who doesn't? Leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time, or a long time, anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.Ready, Set, GO!

Kitchenaid turn Bosch Girl

I saved up my money and bought myself a Kitchenaid and I thought that I would love it. I looked at the Pros and Cons of the Kitchenaid vs Bosch. I went back and fourth between them both on which one to buy. I decided on the Kitchenaid and found that I was a little disappointed in it. I have to say that I had used both of them before, I have wonderful friends that have let me use both models. But when it came to choose I chose the one that cost less and looked better. Last Sunday I had some friends over for dinner and I made rolls and I was so frustrated with the dough. I then found out that Bosch came out with a new model and the old model was a little cheeper. So lucky for me I had bought the kitchenaid from Costco, they return just about anything (I love Costco). I took it back and the next day I went out and got my bosch and I love it.

My husband loved the pizza I made tonight and it is always a good sign when your kids eat everything on their plate!! Thanks Mindy for letting me use your stone.

Day continues with great friends and food...

The kids all had a great time playing in Amy and Ben's backyard. Thank you guys for a great time and a great BBQ (Amy has the best hamburgers ever)! I think the adults all had a blast just sitting up in the deck relaxing and eating while the kids all entertained themselves.

4th of July

We started out the day early in the morning at 6:00am and went to the local hot air balloon show in. This was the first time that we had been and the kids really enjoyed the balloons. It was an amazing site to see all of them go up at once.

Ella loves this one.
