Lizzy is 9!

 Lizzy is 9!  What?!  How is that even possible!  Nine is old....really old.  Lizzy is such a capable, mature, loving, kind, gentle hearted, sweet, funny, intelligent, all-around-wonderful girl......of course we had to celebrate her!  Lizzy invited her friends over for a swimming party.  We had a great time!  We decorated flip flops with jewels, had a ton of fun swimming, enjoyed an amazing BBQ prepared by daddy, and topped it all off with a silly string fight!  Lizzy's friends are all such sweet girls, it was wonderful to get to spend such a fun afternoon with them.  We love Lizzy so much!  We absolutely love getting to watch her grow up.  She is such an amazing girl- so smart and interesting, so fun to be around, such a kind, loving person.  Happy Birthday to our darling girl!

Peter Shines

Look at Peter!  Look at how handsome he is!  He is such a big, big boy now, it is amazing!  Peter had a special concert at school, and we were all so glad to get to see it.  It was one of those truly special moments that I treasure.  His class was so adorable!  His teacher had spent such a long time choosing such cute songs.  The kids were all dressed up and just looked so big and so precious.  Afterwards we had a special reception together, and it was so fun to get to see Peter will all his friends.  Peter has grown up so much, and matured into such a wonderful boy.  I love seeing the person he is becoming!

It's Getting Hot!

Water day at school = Best Day Ever!

Pool Party Slumber Party

Our dear friends came over for the ultimate pool party!  We swam all day, had a delicious BBQ, swam some more, and then had a slumber party!  It was the best!  We love being all together, and we love all our fun times.  It's so wonderful to spend time with special friends!

Tea With Catherine

We usually love to spend our time all together, but sometimes it's very special to get some one-on-one time with our children.  Daddy and I got to spend a very special morning with Catherine at her preschool.  Her class had an adorable tea party for all of the families.  Catherine served us lemonade and all of the tables were decorated and had delicious treats waiting for us.  We loved getting to see Catherine at her school, and the children even performed a special song all by themselves on stage.  What a treat!  We loved getting to see our precious girl shine!

Baseball Boy

Peter loves baseball!  Every spring, it is so fun to get out to the field and watch the boys play.  This year Peter moved up to Farm ball, and boy was that a big step up.  He had to learn to hit off the pitching machine, and the boys worked on real fielding and learning the rules of the game.  Hitting was tough, but with a lot of practice, Peter really got the hang of it, and got some great hits!  He really enjoyed playing first base, but he especially love playing catcher.  Peter loved getting to be on the team with his special buddies, and Lizzy and Catherine got to hang around with their friends playing and hitting up the snack bar.  It was a great season for all of us!
