Fourth of July Parade


Eric and I decided to shamelessly promote our businesses this year (and well, last year and the year before...) and entered ourselves into the Plain City parade! The girls had a grand ole time chucking (not throwing) candy at innocent bystanders. I had to keep reigning in Haylie, she would throw it at anything that stood still. How much candy does she think a tree would eat?

Wow-now that looks sooo professional! :)

What a poser!

So cute!

Tales From The T-Ball Tykes!


Okay, I'll be the first one to admit I'm sooo not crazy about soccer! I'll avoid it like the plague if I can. I didn't play it growing up, I don't really like watching it, and it seems to take up the majority of your life on Saturdays (not my idea of a good time). So, that being said, I decided to introduce Haylie to the wonderful world of T-ball.

Batter up!

I hope Haylie likes this, because I love watching her play. It's so much more interesting to me (although watching 5-year-olds play is a little like watching "yard ornaments"-not much there yet). Daddy made sure she looked the part. Check out those awesome softball pants.

Haylie's team was called "The Ladybugs", which consisted of a bunch little blonde girls and Haylie. They were all so cute.


Yay for T-ball!

Memorial Weekend Camping Trip


It's been quite a while since I last blogged so it looks like I have some major catching up to do.

Over the Memorial Day weekend Eric and I took the girls camping up to one of our favorite spots-Hoop Lake! It wasn't very warm, but at least there wasn't any snow on the ground and it stayed fairly dry considering the endless supply of storm clouds that hung over us for most of the trip.

Still, it was time with my family so it could have rained the entire time and I still would've been just as happy.

Eric and Mikaela reeling in a fish!

Haylie likes to reel 'em in herself.

Mikaela's fish! It was good!

On our way home we got held up on the freeway by a bunch of cows. The cowboys were herding them right down the middle of the road. We saw one cow headed the other direction, we figured it was headed to the "Green Onion" (the only bar in town). It looked like it needed a drink. Now there's something you don't see everyday right outside your vehicle window!
