I did not just redo my blog instead of putting everything back after mopping.

She pulled this one out all by herself!
Love her drawing!! Just fyi, her grandma RuthAnn has a tooth book where she keeps all the grandkids teeth, so that is why she asks everytime for the tooth fairy to leave the tooth. But I never help her with what to write. Darn toothfairy took 2 nights to leave the money again and when Mikayla told me the tooth fairy didn't leave anything she gave me this look like the jig is totally up mom! But I played it so cool she seemed to believe me when I said the tooth fairy must have just been very busy that night.

What we do for fun when it rains...

Squaw Valley~

After spending the beginning of the day at the Farmer's Market with Aunt Heidi we met up with Kelly, Austin, and Kelly's friend Trey at Sqaw Valley for more miniature golfing.

The sky and the lake were SOOOOOO blue this day!

Zach built this all by himself!

Thankful for our freedom~

Here's our 4th of July a mere 2 months later, but maybe it's appropriate today to say how thankful we are for our freedom and all the men and women who put their lives at risk for us everyday.

Not the best pictures because the boat was sooooo bumpy due to the lake being very crowded. Jeff did awesome for not having wakeboarded in years.
My man!! Wohoo!!
The very talented and handsome Bryson. When he was only a few days old he took a nap snuggled up on my chest in a teeny tiny little snuggled up ball. Now he's taller than me and he's only 14!Mikayla's very first Twinkie ever! I felt like I should let her have one so she didn't grow up saying how her mean mom never let her eat Twinkies or ding dongs, etc. and actually put fruit leather in her lunch box!
mmmmmmmmmmmm

More fun at the beach!

These crazy boys were born 11 days apart!

The beach crew! This is about 80% of us.

This is the beach we had access to as part of the house rental. Everyone stayed at the house and we actually stayed at Sunnyside lodge.

Not a bad view!

Patriotic Twinkie Cake! Mikayla loves to bake!

Hanging out at the rental house playing Monopoly. Mikayla had sooooo much fun being apart of the big kid fun. It was just priceless to me to see her laughing at all their silliness and jokes like she understood everything and was just one of the gang.
