Vacation at the Day's house

Catch-up

Ok, so I am officially a slacker. Here's what's been going on....



I turned 30. May 26th memorial day. Since it was a holiday for everyone, we got together with some friends at the spraypark and did a barbeque in the afternoon. I had mixed feelings about turning 30, but now that it's happened I realize it's not that big of a deal.

Here's Margie and I enjoying a slice of watermelon at the park, a few minutes later I was attacked by the sprayer in the spraypark trying to help Jakey and spent the rest of the afternoon soaked. It was fun!

Later that week, one of our fabulous Oklahoma storms blew in and took a huge branch from the top of our tree in the backyard and blew it over our house (hitting the roof, $500 damage) and landed in our front walkway. Here's the photo's to prove it. I guess we're just lucky the whole tree didn't blow over on the house.

This is the view from the front door.

Margie also had a birthday. June 21, she turned three. We were at my sister's house for her actual birthday(more on that in the next post) but we got together with some friends for a little party and had a blast with face painting, dress-up, candy neclaces, and a princess cake.

Barbies

I love to Garage Sale. A few weeks ago I found a whole box of barbies of all shapes and conditions and a barbie carriage for $2. Margie was in heaven and as the clothes washed and dried she had all her naked barbies lined up watching a movie with her. It was too cute!

Five Years Later...

Dan and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary on May 3. We went and did sealings at the temple and had a date night. I am grateful for such a wonderful husband and know we'll have many more wonderful years together. I love you Dan!

Camping

We had a fabulous camping trip to Chickasaw National Park with the Hansens a few weekends ago. It was absolutely beautiful there. Lots of great places to wade or swim and just relax.

Obviously Jakey our little climber decided that he was pretty cool getting nice and dirty on top of the fire grate. Little stinker. We finally made some sort of barricade so he couldn't get up. He found the road too and we ended up chasing him down a few times, good thing it wasn't busy. Those little legs sure can go fast!

Preschool graduation

Margie "graduated from our little preschool group we did this year with a party in the park. It was great fun we played at the park for a while, had snacks and then a small ceremony where each kid recieved a medal with the letter of their first name on it. As you can see, Jakey had fun playing, Margie was less than enthusiastic about the medal, oh well. You can't make a 3 year old be excited about anything they don't want to be. Thanks to all our preschool friends for a great year.

Happy Birthday 1 Year Old!!

I can't believe it's been a year already since our sweet Jakey was born. This was in the hospital at one day old - he was so little (and has such a goosey sister still)

We had a great party for our one year old. Auntie Em and Uncle Jake and cousin Ethan were here after camping for the weekend (pics of that soon to come). He got loaded up with lots of cars and trucks and cool boy toys!

Jakey loved his chocolate cake - well he didn't love eating it, just smashing it and smearing it all over the place. I guess most one year olds are probably the same. We love our happy little boy.

Happy first Birthday Jakey!
