I decided to start practicing my photography skills. I have always enjoyed photography and good pictures are getting pricey. I have a long way to go before I get good enough to frame my pictures, but here is my first attempt.
I realized the other day that I take a ton of pictures of the kids on their birthdays but non of the adults. Graydon turned 34 on June 27th. We rushed home from our family reunion so that we could celebrate with him. We had a very relaxing day. I am so grateful to have such and amazing husband. He still makes me laugh and I still get butterflies in my stomach when I look at him. He is an amazing father who loves to be home and hang out with the family. Happy birthday Graydon! I look forward to celebrating many more with you!
The kids and I went to Graydon's family reunion recently. Why did I go to Graydon's family reunion without Graydon you ask? Because I love my husband and I'm CRAZY. Just kidding. The kids and I drove to Salt Lake stayed with Graydon's awesome brother, Colin and his wife Mekenzie(thanks you guys!) and then picked up my mother in law, Paige and headed to Colorado. Despite driving 13 hours over two days the kids were great. We had fun visiting with family, swimming and hiking(well the kids hiked, I died!). We had a great time and are looking forward to next year.
Tyler and Megan participated in the Capitol Classic last Saturday. It is a mile long run that ends at the Capitol building. They had a great time. We had the perfect weather, cloudy with a slight breeze but not too cold. Last year it rained so I was glad that it was just cloudy. Megan was so proud of herself because she ran the whole way without stopping. This is a fun tradition we started with the kids and they look forward to it every year. It will be fun when miss Caitlyn can run as well.
I was just having fun with the camera the other day and got some fun pictures of my amazing family. Just thought I'd share. I love them so much!
Megan turned 7 on April 24th. I can't believe she is 7 already! She is growing up so fast. This year she decided she wanted an animal themed party. I found some great jungle party stuff and we decorated with animal print balloons and green tissue paper cut to look like big leaves. The kids made animal puppets, pinned the tale on the tiger(which I was very proud of if I do say so myself), and had fun with a tiger pinata. All in all it was a pretty fun party. We had to postpone her party for a week because I got really sick, she was great, no tears! I was so proud of her! Megan is turning into a teenager fast! She asked for shoes and clothes for her birthday. She got shoes called twinkle toes that have sparkles on the toes and a couple of skirts. Even though she loves shoes and skirts she is still a little girl at heart and loved all of the toys her friends got her and has been playing with them non stop. I don't know if I'm ready for my kids to grow up so fast. She makes me smile and I thank the Lord for her every day!
Maybe I should have taken the pictures before the party when everything was still clean:)
Lions and Tigers and Zebras oh my!
Puppets!
The tiger I drew! It is still up on the wall, I'm so proud of it!
Silly Girls!
