FIRE!!

On Monday Grandma and Tanner and Thomas came to visit. We went to lunch and played some games.

On our way home we noticed big cloud of smoke that looked really close to our house. It ended up being a few miles away and luckily the wind was blowing it away from our house. There were airplanes flying, quite a few of them going back and forth. Thank goodness that our house was okay. It was a very exciting day.

Family Fun!

Last week was the last week of Lunch in the Park. We really enjoyed going and having lunch at the park with friends and each other. The kids loved having chocolate milk every time. It was a lot of fun.

 This last week was full of fun things. Jeffery and Miley love to play with their dad and Jeffery is always asking to tackle.

We went to a parade and then to some booths after and this is one of the booths. Home Depot supplied these cute aprons and a boat to build. It was so fun for the kids and even mom and dad. We had a fun day together.

Ouch!

So I noticed a bite on Miley's face on a thursday afternoon and after 24 hours it started to swell and puffed up her eye. I got a little worried but it went down and there wasn't anything that needed to be checkout luckily.

Jeffery decided to get a haircut. He went a long time and at first he said he wanted to grow his hair out for seven years. Your only young once right? Well he woke up one morning and wanted a haircut and so that was that. 

 What a cute little boy I have. He is so great at posing for the camera.

 We went to visit Maddy before she left for China and she was having a party with some friends and I went outside to see where the kids were and this is what I found. They were roasting marshmallows.

Yummy! and Sticky! Miley is always moving and it is hard to not get the blur sometimes. Smile!

Racing?

So this blog has really made me want to savor each moment even more. I was out side with the Miley and she looked down at a pile of ants that were all over a small rock. She said, "Look mom! Those ants are racing." It made me smile and think again, happiness is this right here.

Andrew got out his camera and took some pics of the ants. It was really cute to watch.

Summer Fun!!!

We have been having so much fun in the sun.

 Miley loves to be like her brother and has to where goggles too. She put them on upside down and I had to laugh and take this because, well you can see, it made me smile.

 Jeffery and Miley have a friend with a pool and they have been swimming non stop with her.

 Jeffery loves to be  a fish even if the water is freezing. He will stay in for awhile and start shivering and turning blue and then he will get out and lay on the warm cement and then ride his bike to get warm and then jump right back in and do it over and over again. Too much fun.

They are swimming as I write this and it is only 11:30 am.

Miley's Birthday Party!

Our little Miley turned 3 years old! So we  had a party and a big one at that. Lots of family came from afar and close by  to spend the day with her. We had Alfredo Noodles  for dinner and it was a hit. All the food was delicious.

Miley was spoiled with wonderful gifts. She was so excited for each one. One was a camera and she would not stop pushing the button to hear the clicking sound. She had the biggest smile the whole time.

 Here is everyone watching the excitement. We were so happy  to have everyone come. It really was lots of fun.

CAKE TIME!!!!!!!!!

Miley wanted a Strawberry Shortcake cake and it had to be pink. So I made a homemade strawberry cake with real strawberries and Strawberry butter cream frosting and it tasted really good. I had to fight off a few people while making it.
She had a huge smile  when she saw it so it turned out great.

Miley blew out the candles and cut the cake. YUMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

Daddy helped with the cutting. Miley loves to have her dad help her. Especially with.....

Her new Bike! She was so excited to have a pink and blue bike, her favorite colors. She says that she is big now and that she can ride her bike with no training wheels because she is big now. And she does an amazing job learning.

She got right on and hasn't stopped since. She is getting more and more confident riding and she does it by herself.

Hawaiian Party!!

So we had so much fun seeing everyone at Grandpa and Grandma Ho Ho house. We loved the flip flops and the flowers and the lays. Miley loved the princess cake and balloons.

When the water slide came out it was heaven. Miley and Jeffery loved going down again and again. Look at those cute faces!

This is a picture of the quilt we tied. Miley was the photographer. It was so much fun We had a lot of helping hands, even the men weren't letting the women have all the fun.
