Ella's 1st trip to the zoo

A few weeks we wanted to go do something fun. We decided to go to the zoo. Now that we have our own business it has been hard to get away from the phones and have a little fun. Having fun is something that we definitely need to do a little more of. We decided to buy the membership.
We walked through the zoo and then stopped in the children's play area. I knew that if we had gotten Ella out of her stroller we would have never been able to get her back in. I thought this kids area was really fun for the girls!

Kaylee receives her Green River CC diploma

Kaylee graduated from High School June 2008 and she also finished her AA from Green River Community College at the same time.. Because of deadlines she couldn't walk in graduation so when this June rolled around she decided to walk with the 09 Green River class. My Mom, Dad, Stacey, Casey, Nate, Amy, Kaiya and I all attended. It was a long ceremony but I was so happy for Kaylee and I am so proud of her accomplishments.

Afterwards we went over to my parents house to celebrate. We ate some delicious pizza and cake.

Congratulations Kaylee!! We are so proud of you!!!!!

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.
