A gorgeous day at the park!!!!

Yesterday, Amy and I took the 4 kids to the park to have a little fun :)
The kids ran around and had a blast, and despite it actually NOT being hot they thought they were dying because they were playing so hard haha I can't even begin to count the number of times they ran over and were wanting a drink because they were hot, or wanting to rest lol

Of course, as typical... here are some pics :)

my sweet nephew, Parker

Happy 50th Birthday Grandpa!!

So on Tuesday, Grandpa John turned 50 yrs old! We went over to their house to celebrate and when we got there they had decorated with a few things for him and we had finger foods and ice cream cake. We played pool and the boys played video games and we all just basically hung out all evening. Grandpa, I hope you had an awesome birthday!!!

Just for Derek...

a few days ago Derek asked me to take some pictures of him for a new profile picture for twitter/facebook/myspace whatever. There was one picture of him that I absolutely loved, so I edited it a few ways so he could choose whatever he wanted for his picture. He's been bugging me since then to get the pictures up so I decided not only would I send them to him, I'd blog them for everyone else to see :) Isn't he handsome? I love you Derky!

Family Reunion

Also, last weekend we got to spend some time with family we don't normally see. My dad's side of the family had their first ever family reunion. It was actually a lot of fun and I enjoyed getting to catch up :)

Here are a few photos from that!
