daddy-daughter night out!

I've been meaning to post these pictures for awhile now I just kept forgetting. Shailey and Danny were invited to a daddy-daughter night out to see a Dodgers game with McKay, Anna and Carly. It was so cool of them to invite Shailey and Danny and it was a great opportunity for Danny to spend time with Shailey. They had tons of fun! :o)

girls only

Shailey had Anna and Carly over for a playdate yesterday. Rachel, I hope you don't mind me posting this picture of the three of them in their dress-up clothes but they are just too cute!
Now I need to have a playdate for Eli and his buddies. He wasn't too keen on dressing up in the princess clothes and going to the ball (thank goodness!) but I think he felt a little left out. It's your turn next time, Eli! I promise! :o)

the fruits (or vegetables) of our labor

We were finally able to enjoy the first batch of green beans from our garden. Having never planted ANYTHING before we weren't really sure when we were supposed to pick them. We may have waited a bit too long. Oh, well. They were still good sautéed in garlic and butter. Yummy!

i hope they call me on a mission!

My little sister, Kara, received her mission call! She'll be serving in the Texas Houston East mission-Spanish speaking! :o) We're so excited for her! You can see the video my mom made of her opening her mission call here. She reports to the MTC on August 27th so she'll get the chance to come and visit us before she leaves! We're so excited for you Kara! :o) We love you!

haircut and birthday party

Isaac had his birthday party the other day. He loved all the attention. :o) Here are just a few pictures of him.

Here's a video of everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to Isaac. I love how he tries to blow out the candles.

To finish off the post here's a picture of my latest haircut. I love it! It's not the best picture but you can only do so well when you're taking a picture of yourself. And it's not styled as nicely as it was when it was first cut a couple of days ago. Oh, well. You get the idea.

the mom song

Okay, I don't know if any of you have seen this but Danny and I thought it was pretty funny. :o)

happy father's day!

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there, especially my own fathers and my husband. Hope your day was great and know that you are loved! :o)
