Las Vegas!!

So we found out last week we get to go to Vegas for Harlee's Birthday in September! We cannot wait and couldn't even do it if it weren't for Dusty and Brittoni. We love you guys and can't wait to see you!!

Oregon Trip

Well we went to Oregon for Uncle Brett and Natalie's wedding. We had alot of fun! Their wedding was beautiful! Natalie just looked gorgeous. When we were there we did some sight seeing and went to the beach. I didn't enjoy the beach as much as I thought I would. It was not a very pretty beach nor was it warm weather. We got some really good pictures but other than that I don't think I would go back to that beach. It was nice to hang out with family we haven't seen in awhile. I got to see my Uncle Darrin which was awesome! Shaley just loved him as well and I loved seeing them together. I have a few pictures to post up on here for you all to see...















She fell into the sand and didn't understand what was on her hands haha...

Shaley's Birthday Party/Week

I have not had a chance to go and post what went on for Shaley's Birthday and her week...
We had a lot of fun. For her birthday night June 3rd we did dinner at home and had a few people over for dinner and cake. Shaley was so excited but really had no idea why everyone was singing to her. It was really cute. We did a party for her the Saturday after her birthday, June 6th. We ended up doing it at the Zoo. What a great turn out that was! There was quite a few people that showed up.
For the week of her birthday we had a lot going on. My Grandma from California came in on Monday the 1st so she got to stay until we left the next Wednesday for Oregon (Uncle Brett's Wedding), I will have a new post for that trip. On Thursday the 4th Dusty, Brittoni and Harlee came in. We had so much fun with them! I found a best friend in the whole trip. Brittoni! We got along right away and have so much in common. I am blessed to have her in my life. While they were here we went up to Gatlinburg but of course it rained the whole time! It was so frustrating!! But we still made a good trip of it. We got Harlee and Shaley's Old Time Picture done. So cute. We did have a mishap during the photo shoot... Little Miss Harlee decided to be a dare devil and fall off the bar we had the girls up on. So many people went to stop her fall she didn't hit as hard as she could have but she did still hit and was very upset. She cried for a good bit but she is such a trooper we still got some good pictures. Shaley didn't know what to think about Harlee at first in fact she tried to step on her while Harlee was trying to crawl I guess to tell her who is boss but by the end they got along great and Shaley gave her lots of loves. That trip with them was a good time and wish they were a lot closer! We talked about them moving but they have their family back in Vegas (where they live) and wouldn't ever force them to move (EVEN THOUGH I WOULD LOVE TO :)
I have quite a few pictures to post here so if you scroll down a little bit further you will have them :)

She loved her card because it sang to her...

Casey's Surprise 16th Birthday Party

Yesterday we did a surprise birthday party for Casey. She is turning 16 on the 30th and thought we should make it big for her. She was so surprised as to everyone that came! It turned out great and everyone had a good time. It was at Mom's house as a pool party. There were lots of people that showed up. I have posted a few pictures from the party!!
Amanda and James made the cake and the oreo balls (first 2 pictures), they turned out so great!!


Here is all of her friends that showed up!

James did the BBQ'in and had a quick second to take a picture with his wifey...

Shaley having fun with Aunt Ka-Ka

Shaley is 1!

Well I have not posted in awhile but so much has happened since my last post. Shaley turned 1 on June 3rd. I really cannot believe it has been a year already. She is so smart and fun to be with. I love having her in my life and she has really blessed James and I both.

Some of the new things she is doing is amazing. I am going to include some of it in my blog here... She is an active little girl. She loves to run around and have fun. She can say numerous words now and make 3 animal noises. She loves to make you laugh and she loves to laugh.

James and I are doing great. I love him a lot. He is a very good daddy and husband to us girls! I don't know what I would do without him and all his help with Sha. We moved into a new place about a month ago. We are loving it. It is a condo on the 3rd floor. We have a pool and hot tub we can go to at anytime. It is alot of fun.

Jame is still working for Allstate and I am still with Applebees, sad to say I will probably die there :) I do love my job and love that I can stay home with the baby during the day.

I am so blessed to have what I do have. My family!
