She's 8!

Lillian probably gets the award for the most birthday celebrations in one year.  Since her birthday typically falls on or around Labor Day, we usually spend it with both sides of the family and have a friend party.  These pictures were on the morning of her actual birthday at our house.



This gift led to the one waiting outside....a bike!

August Birthday Weekend

One birthday boy...Jackson, 5



 Another birthday boy...Brady, 3

 I took Lillian to the American Girl store in Overland Park.  What a fun place!  She picked out matching pajamas for her and Lanie as an early birthday present.

 Lucas had this Jeep taken apart in several stages...we managed to keep all the pieces and he put it back together.

 Early presents....believe me, there were tons more at the waterpark birthday party!

Celebrating

We celebrated 10 years of marriage with a trip to Playa del Carmen last week.  

They treated us like honeymooners: we had lots of extra amenities since it was for a special occasion.  I loved the rose petals on the bed and the towel animals.
