Father's Day 2010

For Father's Day, we took Mike to an awesome park that has lots to do. There is a Splash Pad, which are fountains that they kids can play in. Allie LOVED it, but Lexi was a little more reserved.

This park also has a huge pond where people fish and you can rent paddle boats. We decided to try it out, not sure how the girls would do, but we ended up having a great time.

The Family

Mike got to relax and enjoy the view...

...While I wrestled with Allie. She was not very happy with having to sit still, so once she discovered the buckles on her life vest, she stayed busy playing with them.

Our sun bathing beauty

Allie thought that this was the greatest seat in the house.

It was a great day. I am so thankful for my husband. He is a great father to our amazing little girls.

Northern California

Another trip up to Northern California to see family.

Allie trying her best to stay busy in the car. This child does NOT like carseats.

Lexi is so great in the car. She just played and watched movies with a smile on her face.

Playing outside

Our Cousin Kari with her 2 sons, Heather with her 2 kids, our friend Jordyn and me and the girls.

I just love my sister!

Early morning snuggles with Grammy

Jack took our brave little Allie on a 4 Wheeler ride. Allie LOVES this 4 Wheeler. The rest of the grandkids dont have much interest in it, but Allie wanted to ride it all weekend.

Allie is helping Papa sweep all the spider webs. Such a helpful girl!

Playing cards with GiGi (Great Grandma) and Grammy

It was such a fun trip. We always love going to visit our family!

Friends

When we were up in Northern California, we got to catch up with some friends!

Lauren and Emily came over to play. Emily and Allie were born in the same day. They are two very busy girls and so much fun.

Lexi was trying to organize "Ring Around the Rosie"

Birthday Buddies

My friend Regan stopped by with her 2 little boys.

Lexi and Landen

I got to snuggle sweet little Mason. He is such a cute little guy

Trying to get a picture with Mason and the two of us was not very easy.

Nicole's Wedding

Our good friend, Nicole got married. My sister was the Maid-of-Honor and she did an amazing job keeping the bride happy and helping make the wedding turn out beautifuly.

My beautiful sister!

Congrats Nicole and Steve! We love you!

Mike ran a 1/2 Marathon!!!!

This weekend, Mike ran a 1/2 Marathon. We are so proud of him! We were waiting at the finish line with a big sign for him. What an exciting day!

Being Silly

The step stool is Allie's favorite chair. We keep it next to the toilet, but she doesn't care. When we are in the bathroom getting ready, she just has a seat and eats a snack or plays with toys. Looks like a great place, dont you think?

Uncle Curtis Graduated!!

My brother, Curtis (aka Uncle Curtis) just graduated from Biola University this last weekend. As with all graduations, it was long and somewhat boring. The day started off cool, but it warmed up quickly! Lexi came with us (Allie stayed at home with Grandma). She was a gem and a perfect little angel ALL day.
