The kids FIRST Jamba Juice experience...they liked!

We didn't go anywhere for the first time in a long time for the Fourth.  We stayed home and lit off fireworks in our backyard.

Chillaxin' with some ice cream sandwiches

 

My camera did some funny stuff---because of course Nate's face is not on fire sillies!

 

Carousel RIDES!

SUMMA TIME

Nate was of course very safe on this here wave runner, but by the end of the day he got it up to 45 mph

Swimming with cousins in El Dorado Hills

Mike took Nathan out to Robbins to get the trailer prepped and ready for our August camping extravaganza and he lets him drive on the dirt roads....I love that I married a true "country boy!" Maybe my kids will have a 1/4 country in them, maybe more, you never know what our future holds!

Taylor and I had "girls" day while the boys left!  We too, were suppose to be prepping for our camping trip, but instead we were painted nails and did Taylor's FIRST french braid.  Oh how long I have waited for this day----french braid *tear*

~and then the came the  "Texas Tornado," she got a hold of some baby powder---gotta love the innocence of children

Happy 40th Amy!

I have been quite the procrastinator as of late, but I blame it on my computer.  My computer is terminally ill and makes it hard to update my blog.  Pretty much everything I do now is from my phone...my phone is smarter than the average human, but a hair dumber than blogging capabilities! Onto bigger and better things---FORT BRAG 2011

My sister Amy is officially over the hill!

 We had a surprise party for her and it was a ton of fun!  I can't believe I'll be 40 in 8 years!!! Taylor totally---BUSTED getting into the Patron bottle!

 I won concert tickets to go see The Willy Nelson Throw Down in Murphy's, CA!!Mike and I got to get away for DATE NIGHT!!!  The venue was at Ironstone Amphitheater which is AMAZING!  We drove up to Big Tree's Campground when it was over and "roughed" it by sleeping in the back of Mike's.  It was nice being spontaneous for once in our lives...we watched the stars all night!!!

These trees are NO JOKE!

Thank god for my mom!!! She is our go-to sitter and is always there in a pinch, while working her butt of every waking moment...our precious babies asleep at Nana's! Thank you mama, love you!
