Natalie's 5th Birthday!

Natalie had her 5th birthday, and she got to have a friend party. I mostly posted these pics so you could see what an awesome mom I am! Or, actually, what awesome in-laws I have. The party was at their house, with a big blow-up water slide, pool, trampoline, and pony rides. The kids had a ball and it was an easy set up, plan, and execute party.

Kids jumping on the tramp. Please don't turn me in to CSD about all the kids jumping, parents were there and didn't care.


Natalie riding the horse with auntie leading. Grandma saddled up the pony as well because the kids were bombarding and they wanted to get more rides in. Thanks to auntie, grandma and uncle for doing this. It was a HOT day.

The waterslide was the hit of the party, and none of it cost me a dime.

This is just a random pic of us as we hiked Mt Pisgah. Adam came along on our adventure and it was fun, although after scampering up this tree for a pic, we saw a sign that said to leave the tree alone. It was a really neat tree but you can't tell from this picture.

I'm Baaaaack! And keeping it short and sweet.

A few recent happenings:

Natalie ballet'd her way into my heart at her dance program. She loved wearing "adult make-up". The little ones got the biggest applause. Good job, Nat!

Emma played soccer for the first time, while Dad got to be her coach. Both fell in love with soccer.

Natalie and cousin Kyla had their preschool graduation. Now officially Kindergartners!

Brother Chris and SIL Kim had baby Hannah. She's older than this, just had blessing and stared and smiled at me while I was holding her. So precious! Congrats you guys!

Went to GP for Memorial weekend and boat races. Didn't even hear the f-15's fly over which was strange. Fun time had by all.
