Casey's 1st Birthday and Mom's 29th Birthday Anniversary!!

Casey turned 1 on June 5th and my mom's birthday was June 7th. We went to my parents house and had dinner, cake and presents. I can't believe Casey is already 1 years old! I remember going to the hospital last year to see him after he was born. He was such a beautiful baby boy. I am so glad that him and Ella are so close in age...I love to see them interact. I am sure they will always be best buds.
Ella was trying to feed Casey some dog food. She was being stopped by Stacey.

How many people does it take to light mom's birthday cake?

She blew out her candles...

But I don't think one candle was blown out. Thanks to Stacey and her trick candles.

She tried a couple more times until Nate had to step in and help.

The best part of the night was when Casey ate his cake. At first he stuck his fingers in...had a bite...then next came his fist and from there he went crazy!! He had so much fun and we were all laughing so hard. He loved all the attention.












Casey then took a much needed bath and then him and my mom opened their presents.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM AND CASEY!!!! We love you.

A few weeks ago Cirdan, Ella and I were in the area where Kaiya's dad lives. Kaiya called excited to tell me that she could now ride her bike with no training wheels! Since our house has a gravel hill drive-way it was hard for her to practice at home so she took her bike to her dad's house where it was flat. She also told me that she had a lemonade stand and was selling cookies. Cirdan and I decided to surprise her and stop by to buy some lemonade so we called her dad and he told us to come on by!

Blast from the past

I found an old memory card with some pictures from 2005. A lot of these pictures bring back good memories. Time sure does go by fast.

This is not such a nice memory. Kaiya hated soccer in the cold rain. She would usually stand on the side and cry. She did look cute in her little uniform though!

Furry little friend and pretty flowers

I noticed something out of the corner of my eye the other day and this is what I saw...

Right there...out on my deck. He/She usually walks through the yard everyday but I haven't seen him come this close. He must have been feeling brave.

I love my yard this time of year. All the flowers are blooming and they look so beautiful. Here are just some of them...
