Happy Anniversary


Paul and I recently celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary! We have a couple of dates lined up but on the actual day we stayed at home and had a very nice dinner as a family.
Sometimes it seems like we've known each other forever and other times it seems like we just got married yesterday. Paul, you are my best friend and I love you so much. I love what you bring to our family as a person, husband and Daddy. You are very supportive and loving and you make me laugh all the time. Here's to many more happy anniversaries.

Happy Father's Day

We went camping in the mountains over the weekend. It was so relaxing and peaceful being out in nature. Because of the wet spring and great snowfall in the mountains, the trees were really green and there were wildflowers everywhere. It was very beautiful. The weather was pretty cool (frigid at night) but that just meant no bugs (and our Babe sleeping in my sleeping bag with me)! Lia had so much fun playing in the dirt. Her and Monkey were very helpful on our walks to get sticks for the fire. Lia had her first marshmallow this weekend and Monkey learned pretty quickly that he should be under the table when Lia was eating. A fair amount of food fell off the picnic table!! We cooked some great food and just relaxed and enjoyed each other's company. It was so nice to get away for a couple of days. Happy Father's Day, Paul! We love you!

What we've been up to lately


It took a while to get hair but now, look at those curls!


This picture just makes me laugh.



Opening some early birthday presents from Aunt Michelle.

All smiles!


There are all the girls (couldn't get anyone to look at the camera)!


We met my cousin Sara, hubby Carlos and girls Olivia, Isabel and Alessandra at the pool. The kids had so much fun in the water. It was great to see you guys.




Alessandra, you are growing up so fast. I can't believe you're almost one! What a great smile, Isabel! And you were having too much fun swimming to stay in the picture, Olivia!



Reading a book with my favorite Aunt!



Girl Time Rocks!



Aunt Michelle
