"Pictures of the Week"

Cute Cousins - Matthew, Pierson & Todd
We were so sad that our best buddy cousins moved to Tennessee this week! Brooke, Todd, Matthew & Harrison- we will miss you SO much! We love you! I don't know what I'll do with out my amazing sis-in-law, Crystal, she's the best! I am not a fan of Jeff right now for taking her clear across the country! (oh, I'm getting weepy just thinking about it, Love You Crys!) Sweet Little Ones - we love to "nuggle" at our house!
Madi and her Best Friend, Annie - I LOVE watching little girls play! So sweet!
Pretty Girl - We love dresses, we love bows!
I always have to make sure I get pictures of Madi in my favorite outfits before she out grows them.

Dancing The Night Away

Madi's "pretty dance" Pierce bustin' out some serious moves

This weekend we went to 2 wedding receptions- Pierce & Madi had so much fun dancing the night away! They were quite entertaining to watch, I enjoyed watching them and hanging out with baby Harrison (my cute nephew!) When we were arriving at the second reception, explaining what we were doing to the kids, Madi said, "I love wedding parties!'

Yummy!

Pierce & Madi just discovered how much they love corn on the cob! Last year Pierce always wanted me to cut the corn off of the cob, Grandma helped him realize how good it is to eat it off the cob! Yummy!

Kenny & Erin/Class of '93 Reunion

Pierson & Ellie (pretty cute together hmmm, maybe someday.....)

Addie & Madi - not so sure they were having as much fun

Kenny & Erin, Ryan & Josie, Myron & Maritza, Hienz & Angie (AKA "The Super Delegates" The funnest table at the reunion,)

The BFFs - We had such a fun few days this week with our great friends Kenny & Erin! They were up from San Diego for the week and we loved spending time with them. We got together with the kids and Pierson and Ellie played great together! (Although Ellie was mostly interested in the kitties and wanted to hang in the garage with them) We enjoyed going out to dinner with them and another friend of Ryan and Kenny's from high school, Myron, and his wife, Maritza. Saturday was the DHS class of '93 reunion. (I'd just like to mention I was in 6th grade when they were seniors, Ryan is lucky to have such a young wife.) It was fun for Ryan to catch up with friends and for us wives to talk girl talk. We had the funnest table there and we had some great laughs!

Summer Swimming

The kids have had so much fun swimming this summer! Pierson took 2 sessions of swimming lessons and he has come so far - from last year, not wanting to jump in and go under the water - to wanting to practice his front crawl and knee dives, the whole time we're at the pool, and LOVING it! He loves his new goggles and is doing great!

Jam Day

Pierson helped me make raspberry jam this week. He loved helping me squish up the berries! You can't go wrong with freezer jam, yummy!

Madi

I was trying to get a picture of Madi, but she was very busy, as you can see. (Maybe she will be my "star" piano player. I know Deli is laughing.) I at least mangaed to get her to look at me once, what a cutie! Don't you love her new bows?!
