Ali is 4 Months Old!

I can't believe how fast time flies by. My baby turned 4 months old on Saturday. Eric and I wanted to spend some time together as a family. We went swimming, got ice cream and then in the evening we went to Ryan's Place Park. Max had been wanting to take Eric there. I couldn't resist the chance to take some cute pictures of the kids!

4th of July Fun

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holiday's. I guess just because summer is in full swing. The last two years we have been in Mexico over the 4th and even though I would LOVE to be there again, Independence Day just doesn't have the same feel when your in Cancun! As tradition has it, we swam and then watched the fireworks at my moms house with family and friends.









Then we went to the pancake breakfast at with Gma Ed.



We wanted to go to the parade, but since no one got any sleep the night before, naps took priority, so we went to the Celebration Centre with Gma Donna, Gpa Kent, and cousin Chase.





The next day we went to the Aquatic Center as a family. Max loves the kiddie pool and Ali is too cute in her suit!




I just have to say that I am proud to be an American! I am so grateful for all those that came before me and made this country what it is. This is a picture of my cute grandpa standing as his Marine song was played at the fireworks. He is a WWII vet and I am so so proud that he is my pops. Thanks pops for your life and example!


Happy 4th!

Max at 3 years - Ali 3 months

We got the kids pictures taken at Kiddie Kandids. They were too cute not to share!

Ali's Blessing Day

Ali was blessed on Saturday, June 28th by her Dad. We decided to do it this day because we wanted to have Jake and his family here. We had a short program at the church. Along with the blessing Max and his cousins sang, "I Am A Child of God" and Eric and I shared our Testimonies. After we had dinner at our house. My children are so lucky - they have all 8 great-grandparents alive and they were all there. The only person missing was Vic (I guess a mission is a good excuse). Thanks to Erica's mom for the beautiful dress!

New Blogger

I now have no excuse. While my brother Jake and his family were here visiting, Erica set up a blog for me. I am certainly no pro, but I will do my best with it all. Thanks again Erica!
