Father's Day 2011

To celebrate Ty and the awesome father that he is, we bought a new BBQ and a fun tossing game.  Ty's favorite thing to do to celebrate any occasion is just hanging out with our little family.  So, that's exactly what we did.  I put Ty to work making some yummy steaks with all the fixin's and we played with the new toys.

I have to say, we no longer have this beautiful BBQ...it broke :(

I love this one!

Celebrating Birthday's in Tucson

June is a busy birthday month for us.  My dads birthday is in June as well as Ty's mom and step-dad.  So last June (2011) we decided to celebrate them all together.  We took the parents to Kartchner Caverns, had dinner, enjoyed my dad and Lin's beautiful backyard and just had a really nice time with everyone.

This picture was taken at the Mexican food restaurant in Tucson.  My dad is watching the Mariachi band singing him Happy Birthday.

This was the most serious picture I could get :)

Little Savers!

Maclaine and her BFF Delani saved their very own money to buy an ipad 2. Maclaine started saving at the end of 2010 and decided that all she wanted for Christmas and her birthday was money. She also saved her chore money and her grade money that Grandma and Grandpa give her.

We are so proud of her for being so diligent with her saving!

I have to admit...we are SO glad she saved her money for one because we have a lot of fun on that thing when she goes to bed! They're AMAZING!

Mother's Day Tea!

Ever since I was a little girl, we've been attending the Mother's Day Tea with my Granny that her sorority puts on. Usually my sisters and all my nieces attend but this year Clainey and I were the only ones that were able to make it. We ate yummy food and afterwards went to my Granny's and sat around her dining room table chit-chatting. Those are my favorite times to have with my Granny. I love her to death!


Here's Maclaine and I before we headed down to Casa Grande...

Easter weekend!

Our church does Easter services on Saturday and Sunday and usually before the Saturday services they have all kinds of fun things for the kids to do so we decided to have Ty's parents over for lunch on that day and then after, we headed over to the church for some fun.

Maclaine having fun with confetti eggs....

I LOVE this picture of our pretty girl....

and this one too...

Ty's parents brought over all kinds of goodies, one being, these really cool plastic bubbles...

Grandma thought it would be better to blow the bubbles inside the house :)....

Since they were plastic bubbles, they stuck to everything...

Grandpa got in on the fun too....

After we ate lunch and played with the bubbles, we headed over to church for some more fun...

Maclaine, with her cousins, Ellie and Donovan...

We saved some confetti eggs for Liam to try out...

Barnaby couldn't get enough of Liam...

Aww, cute kiddos!
