Happy Birthday to ME!

Monday was my birthday.


The BIG 3-0!

 I seriously cannot believe I am 30 already... how did that happen?


To celebrate the big day we had a Minute To Win It themed party. If you have never seen the TV show, it is a bunch of challenges using basic household items, and it must be completed in a minute!

We told everyone ahead of time what the party theme was, so all our friends came ready to compete!

This was seriously one of the funnest nights I have had in a LONG time! Everyone had a great time!

Here are some pictures from the night!

Recent Happenings

Since the weather has been so nice and I am off work, we have been soaking up the sun!  Pool days, beach days, playing in the little pool out back... we have just been having a blast!

Sam is getting more comfortable in the water too. The first day we took her to the pool it took her all day before she would even put her foot in!  And just a couple weeks later she is using her swim tube and can get all over the whole pool! We are so proud of her! Sadie loves the water too and enjoyings walking around on the first step! Just have to watch her though because she thinks she can just step off onto the second step! She has no fear.... the total opposite of her sister! LOL

The other night I was sitting on the couch and hear all sorts of giggling from the girls- so I grabbed the camera and went to investigate.

Sam was sitting IN her baby cradle and Sadie was trying to get in too!

I have to say, I am really enjoying being at home with the girls! I also love not waking up at 4:30 in the morning! LOL

I am also starting to party plan for Sadie's FIRST birthday! I seriously cannot believe she is ONE. It went by way way too fast.

4th of July

It is a new tradition with us to head over to our friends Kristin and Jay's house for the 4th of July (which is realy the 3rd of July since that is when our city shoots off the fireworks). They live on the hill right above where the fireworks are shot off from. The whole neighborhood hangs out in the front yards, kids running around everywhere, music playing... its just a great day.

This year Sam surpirsed us and LOVED the fireworks!  This is huge because prior to Sunday night, she was still talking about LAST year and how she hated the fireworks. LOL

Sadie slept through the whole fireworks show so we won't know until next year if she likes fireworks or not!

I am just going to post the pictures- there are a lot of them!
