Boating with the Nicols

We went boating at pineview with Ken's sister Amy and her family. What a blast it was, my kids had so much fun.
















The kids wanted to swim to an "Island", it was quite the little beach. The worst part of the beach possible but the kids love to jump out of the boat.

Abby's 2nd birthday party

Poor thing was so darn ornery, i can't wait for 2 of her teeth to pop through. She didn't want a lot of attention while we sang to her and wouldn't blow out her candles. Fun Huh! We did have a good time, she perked up as soon as she finished opening presents.

Here is the cursed cake i spent hours making and then wonder why i have to choose to make such a time consuming cake that will be torn apart with in an hour of the party. She is worth it though.




My sister made that apron around my neck for Abby, it's so cute. She was so grumpy i put it around my neck. She sells them on Etsy.com under Nature's Heirloom. She also has a really cute blog Naturesheirloom.blogspot.com She has a lot of talent and creative ideas.



She got this doll house from us, she squealed when she saw it.






I made dinner, Chicken tetrazzini.

4th of July 2009

Wow it's the 4th of July again. The year always goes by so fast for us. We sat in our usual spot in front of Centerville Jr. High With my family, Ken's family, Bubba's family and some of our friends. The parade seems to have turned into more advertising and less traditional floats which is a shame. But it entertains the kids and we enjoy it as well.Abby saw a toy baby on the floor of this car, I don't know who owns it but she kept trying to get in it so she could "borrow" the baby.Max, Riley, Kenzie, Addie, Grace and AbbyMelissa, Mia and Steve ParkerAbby seems to freeze up when Bubba tries to talk to Abby or hold her. It's so cute.

Here she is trying to ignore him.

Later that night my family came over to our house to watch Lagoons fireworks that never happened. So we had a show of our own with a box of fireworks.
Abby fell asleep right before the fireworks started.Nathaniel
