So many parties, so little time...

Sophia's 'wedding fantasy' bday party this last wkend. They got to wear their flower girl dresses from Aunt Louise's wedding, fully accessorized this time. All the mini-brides and (2) top-hat grooms were so cute!

I've lost count of how many parties the girls have been invited to this summer. It must be bday party season!

For Laughs

been super busy at work, a quick video for laughs.
check out Laurel's moves (our little dancer) and the (jumpy) masked one isnt so bad either.

Ballerina and SuperHero Bday Party!

Happy 4th bday my darling girls! Each year the girls pick the theme, depending on what they're into. They had a blast with all thier ballerina and superhero friends. And being surrounded by so much love and joy! After the party, it took two days to open presents! It's official, bdays are even better than Xmas!
Enjoy the pics and video. Big THANKS to Kim for being our photographer for the day, you did an awesome job!

Happy 4th!

Fireworks start way too late for the girls (maybe next year they can stay up), so we always have our own backyard version. VIP seats and just as much fun, esp the fireworks that fart!

Look what momma cooked up

I know you want one (-;

Summer Kickoff

berry picking in our front yard


rafting on the Shenandoah with friends and cousins

also hit the pool with gramma D and rounded out the wkend w/the viva vienna festival. we took ginger to the festival since it reminds momma of when we first bought her home one year ago, when she was the cutest puppy around. she has a blast w/all the sights, sounds, smells and occasionally doggy meet&greet. but this year it was too HOT and she only lasted a good 1/2 hour before eric had to drop her back at home. then poppa couldnt take the heat and we headed home after lunch (of chicken on stick, funnel cake, ice cream and cotton candy) and weary from the carnival rides. summer is here!
