Halloween 2011


Halloween's are getting a little more different every year.  It used to be, we would go trick-or-treating with all the cousins.  We have a lot of fun memories doing that.  This year (2011) was the first year that I really starting feeling a little sad that things were changing.  The big kids are wanting to hang-out with their friends, which is totally understandable, and the littler ones (Maclaine) still wants to keep the traditions going.  She's so funny that way.  Once she feels like there is a tradition, it's there to stay.


This particular year, we went trick-or-treating with one of her karate friends, I didn't get any great pictures of the two of them so I didn't post them.


Maclaine dressed up as Little Red RidingHood....








Another thing that we've done every year is make sure we get pictures with Maclaine and her best friend, Delani.  




And of course, we had to get a few of them being their crazy selves....

Mom's 60th Birthday

We wanted to do something special to celebrate my mom's 60th Birthday (2011), so we decided to all get rooms at a local resort.  We had a great time!



Mom with all the grandkids...

We all had a great time hangin' out in the pool...

I love the look on Aubrey's face!  She looks totally shocked that her G can still do a handstand.  Don't hate me mom for posting this picture :)

This was when I found the kids at the bar.  They loved it because we bought them all wristbands which gave them access to food and smoothies whenever they wanted...

This is my favorite picture of all time!  Mom having fun on the slide!

July 4th 2011

Our July 4th usually consists of some kind of BBQ somewhere and then heading out to watch fireworks.  


The girly loves hanging out in the back of the truck waiting for fireworks to start...

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.
