Girls Weekend...Here We Come!!

This summer has truly been one "unforgettable" summer! Roslyn is just growing up way too fast, especially since she turned two in May. No more nuk and now she's in a big girl chair at the table (the high chair stage is over!). Unreal that we don't have any more babies in the house, but so thankful for healthy kids! TIME IS GOING BY WAY TOO FAST!

Since Roslyn is no longer the baby of the house, she's determined that her baby doll, "Baby Sally" is the newest addition to the family.

Roslyn loves her Baby Sally so much! It's so incredible how "innate" motherhood really is.



My two boys will be out of town for the weekend. I'm so excited to spend a few days with Roslyn, just us girls! You can tell I've reached the milestone of 30, I plan to go to bed at 7 pm every night with Roz...so excited to sleep! Have a great weekend everyone!

Seventh Heaven...Happy Bday Ella Johanna!

Happy 7th Birthday to Jake's Goddaughter, our beautiful niece Ella Johanna. We love you Ella!

Happy 5th Birthday Godson!!!!!

Happy 5th Birthday to our handsome Godson Andrew! He loves his new "Cars" tent!

Of course Roslyn had to get in a couple photos...the five kids (Andrew, Andray, Roslyn, Zachary and Baby Peyton) all had fun playing together on Sunday!

Roz says, "Happy Berday!"

Happy 65th Papa Larry!

Happy 65th Birthday to the most incredible father in the world, my Dad. Thanks for all the sacrifices you've made for both our family and our country. You're my HERO Dad! Have a super day!

Have a Great Weekend Everyone!!!!

Hope you all have a great weekend! Jake and I are super excited to head back to Franklin for Catfish Derby Days! As you can tell, Andray is taking very good care of his lil' sister Roslyn...we're short a wheel chair in the house (ha!) so he thought putting her in the shopping cart would be a better idea. Can't make this stuff up!

Welcome to the Family...Craftsman

Jake and Andray "proudly" brought home their new, red & shiny, lawnmower yesterday afternoon. Was fun to see both my men's faces light up!

Like Father...Like Son.

The newest addition to our family.



The kids were in great moods yesterday, despite the terrible heat. Running hand in hand...wonder how long that will last? ;)

Congrats Karen and Kris!!

Congrats to a dear friend of mine, Karen Hokanson, and her new husband Dr. Kris Bedi! They had an incredible wedding and I wish them only the best!

Karen and Kris had an incredible entrance to their wedding dinner...absolutely beautiful.

Just before Mr. and Mrs. Hokanson walked Karen up the aisle...so special.

Happy 2nd Birthday Neely Pooh!!

Happy 2nd Birthday to our beautiful niece, Neely Raychel! We love you Neely Pooh!

Roslyn loves her cousin Neely...only 6 weeks apart, so special! "Playing Hide-and-Go Seek, Love It!"

Meeting Mr. Mason Dale

I could not be happier for my best friend Heather and her husband Adam in the birth of their son Mason Dale. He is SUCH A GOOD BABY BOY! Was pumped to fly down to Florida to see them for a few days. Sure did miss my own kids and Jake, but Mason definitely gave me my "baby fix."

The brand new family of THREE!

Go Twins! He's such a strong lil' boy at 2 months old.

Best friends for life...Mason is so lucky to have Adam and Heather as parents.

A Perfect Weekend for July 4th!!!!

Jake and I had an incredible weekend in Spicer with the kids to celebrate the 4th. Got to visit a long-time best friend from home, Stacy Heiling, her husband and her family. The kids got to swim in three different lakes, we were able to camp in Spicer in my cousin Cassie's front yard for a couple nights and got to see Spicer's July 4th Parade. Doesn't get any better than that!

Father/Daughter bonding at the parade.

My beautiful cousin Cassie and her husband Jason let us camp in their front yard, so thankful!

Four cousins enjoyed roasting Marshmallows! Andray (3), Grace (4), Lilli (3) and Roslyn (2).

Pretty sure I enjoyed roasting the marshmallows more than Roz ;) Love her "this is not much fun" face in this photo!

A perfect day for a parade...Happy 4th!

So thankful for all the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for our FREEDOM!

Andray and Lilli had a blast at the parade...good times.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

God Bless America...Happy 4th!

Daddy Daycare sure is working out this summer. Jake's photography skills are getting better every day;) Here the kids are enjoying a "3D" morning in their pj's!

Our family a year ago on July 4th weekend...have a safe and fun weekend everyone!

God Bless the United States!
