Aubrey is two!!! Not that I would have to tell you that, if you spend any amount of time with her you will know how old she is. She wants her way all the time and throws many tantrums because I wont give in to her!!! She is a stinker lately and yet she is our cuddler, our singer, our brave one, and always an entertainer!!! We love her dearly, she is precious and is such a blessing!!! Here is pictures from today, her first birthday party combined with Ellies. Her birthday is in August so instead of having 6 parties we have 3. The girls had a great day dinner, cake, presents, and a water fight to top it off!!

Obsessed...

So I have a new obsession going on right now. A few weeks ago I was at the library and they had the movie Twilight there, I decided to rent it to see what all the hype was about. I quickly found out and am now in love with a fictional character who happens to be a vampire and I am kind of digging the werewolf too. I normally wouldnt get into a vampire book but this movie got me hooked and the books are even better!! Call me crazy but they are really good, so if you want to try something new and you havent read these yet go and get them because I would love to chat with you about them. Thank goodness my girlfriend is also reading them and we can talk together about what is going on! Dan doesnt really get why I am so excited so thanks Steph for loving Edward the way I do..ha ha ha!! I am on the third book right now and there is one more...I want to know what happens but yet I dont want them to end!! So now you know what I have been doing all week!!!

updates in reverse

Sorry that I have been slacking in blog world lately. Here is some of what we have been doing. Summer is so busy and I absolutely love it!!! I feel like we live outside as much as possible! Dan just built the girls a sandbox so they love that, I have been planting and weeding and we just started a little garden out back. We are so excited to get back into camping! For me, it just doesnt get much better than being with great friends, relaxing, drinking coffee, playing games, watching the kids get filthy dirty, spending time as a family and just making memories!!!


A trip to the zoo

Camping at Dutch treat in Zeeland. We had a great week with great friends and cant wait for more!

JEff and Angies wedding was perfect. Everything went so smooth and it was so beautiful! They had a great honeymoon and are adjusting nicely to married life!

Free Jewelry...

I just wanted to share with you ladies the FREE jewels I just recieved for having a small show!! All but two of these were free, the other two were half off!! I am just super excited to wear all of these jewels and had to share my excitement. If you want to know a great jeweler let me know and I will have Stephanie get in contact with you!!

sunday adventures...

Dan was gone overnight for the bachelor party so Sunday we decided to head over to Wildlife Unlimited. If you have never been there before, it is a great time for adults and kids!! I have just as much fun as they do!! Plus its a great time for them to learn some things and get exercise!! The girls are beyond tired and so am I!! Good times!!!

Dentist

She did great!! Ellie had her first dentist appointment today and did well. A while back I took her for her first haircut and she had a crying fit and I had to be mean! So...I figured this could go real bad as well. Ell shocked me by sitting still and listening to the hygenist and Dr. Maybe it helped that Dr. Bolt is family but either way I was so glad she did well! As a reward we stopped at Rite Aid for a prize. She reallllly wanted fake nails like the "cool girls" ( i dont know where that comes from??) but she settled on blue nail polish with fun nail stickers. Here are a few pictures...
