Fun with a Friend!!

A couple weekends ago we went on a play date with Paige's friend Gabriel! His mom owns two horses and we went to the barn to see and pet the horses.The barn was also used by other people so we got to see lots of horses. Gabriel and Paige were in the same preschool class together last year and have remained friends.

Playing in the sandbox!

Looking at the horses!

It is a combo ballet and tap dance class. Here she is with her ballerina outfit on and smiling so big!

Do you think that she is excited?

Girls Weekend 2009

Last weekend some of my best friends from college met up for a girls weekend! We met up at Tara's house in Virginia. In college there were six of us that were best friends and we earned the nickname " The Six Pack" because we were always together. The six pack was Bridgette, Kate, Marcie, Melissa, Tara, and me. Marice wasn't able to join us this time and we missed her so much. We took turns making meals and sharing recipes. We enjoyed lots of girl talk and spending time together. We now live very spread out from each other (Ohio, New York, Georgia, Virginia, and Colorado) so I cherish the time we get to spend together, I miss you all already:)

Melissa and Bridgette being silly!

Splish, Splash!!

Yesterday we met my friend Gina and her kids at a new park they just opened. It was a really neat place. It had this water station for the kids to play on along with three or four playgrounds. We splashed in the water pool, played on the playground, and had a picnic lunch! It was a fun day but super hot!!

Paige having a a blast!

Splashing!

Last Saturday we also took Paige to see Cinderella at a playhouse near here. She had the best time. She was excited to meet Cinderella after the play!

Happy Fourth of July!!

On Saturday we celebrated the Fourth with Aunt Cassie, Uncle Shane, Grant, Brooke,Nana, and Papa. We ate some yummy food and then went to watch some fireworks! I love this picture of the cousins! So cute!

Summertime Fun!

Brad and I took Paige to the neighborhood pool to go swimming last week.

Here she is getting ready to go swimming!

Swimming away all by herself.

Having lots of fun:)

Last week we met my friends Gina and Susan with their kids at the playground. Gina has Emma(3 1/2), Jack (2 1/2), and Joshua (2 1/2 months old). Susan has Jake (3) and Ben (almost 2). Here are Paige and Emma on the slide.

Jack smiling for me!

Susan had to climb up to get Ben because he got stuck up there and wanted help coming down. I told her I would document it for her! I knew she would be so happy to see the picture:)

Emma & Paige! The kids had a great time playing with each other and it was so great to catch up!

Last week we also went over to my friend Erica's house. Here and Paige and Jack playing in the pool! I only took one shot! I'll have to get more next time we play!

Happy Fifth Annivesary!!

Today marks our fifth anniversary. It's hard to believe that it has already been five years. Brad, you are my best friend and I am so happy that I have you in my life. You are an amazing husband and a devoted father. I can't imagine being on this journey with anyone but you. I love you more every day. I look forward to all that the future holds for us and all that God will do within our marriage and our life.

Wedding shots I pulled of the disc. It never gets old to see these pictures. I treasure them so much and my memories from that day.
