Happy Birthday to ME

On June 26th I turned 30! Hard to believe it but I did. Yet I dont really feel any older yet. Dan and the kids and I went to Red Robin for lunch and spent the rest of the day getting ready for our BBQ on Sat night to celebrate with friends and family. All in all it was a great 30th. Thank you to everyone who came to help me ring in my 30's!
Sorry no pictures from the party, but it was great fun!

Not really sure what was going on when this one was snapped

I'm trying to eat my lunch!

They decided that it would be fun to embarrass me and have them sing me Happy Birthday.

And some root beer

Dan being his usual silly self :) I love him so much!

Swimming Lessons

Back in June Hayden and Phedora took swimming lessons for a week at the YMCA in Everett. Unfortunately I dont have any pics of Phedora since she got in trouble for her attitude and wasn't allowed to finish the class. But she had a lot of fun the first couple of days she was there.

Sorry its so dark but Hayden is floating all by himself.

Playing around on the side of the pool learning how to swim on his own :)

Playing Dress Up

Phedora's been asking me to get my wedding dress out ever since we got back up here. So I finally broke down and got it out. It was so much fun trying it on again. And Phedora couldn't have been happier. I forgot just how HOT and HEAVY it was though. But I am happy to say that I was able to zip it up on my own! It was a bit of work getting my arms back there, but it went up. Hayden was our photographer for the afternoon and both of them fixed my hair for me. Hayden took care of the right side and Phedora the left.

My favorite. I am going to frame this one.

Princess Phedora.

My awesome wedding hair!

Cheese!

Aren't we just the cutest?

Relaxing.

The Blushing Bride to BE...

She was getting really frustrated that it kept falling down.

FUN in the SUN!

It was so nice out we took the Slip-N-Slide out.

Lots of cheese. My kind of pizza!

Putting on the toppings.

Yummy. Phedora's had peperoni, Canadian bacon and red bell peppers on it.

Hayden went with peperoni and Canadian bacon only.

We have all these great paved trails throughout our neighborhood.

They take you through up to a lake.

That you can walk around or keep going up to another lake.

And a playground and big ball field.

On our first trip up to the lake we saw ducks, fish and a turtle.

It was really neat and its so quiet and peaceful walking through the woods.

Isis had a great little rest afterwards chewing her favorite bone.

Dan's idea of helping in the field.

Hands in his pockets.

Phedora loves her puppy...
A LOT!

Sleeping so soundly

She loves to sleep. This one is from a few weeks ago.

I just love this one of her. Her favorite place was under the computer desk when we first brought her home.
