Grandma's House!

Isn't she gorgeous!
We started the day off with the famous Jacks donuts!
The kids loved playing outside!
We had fun playing with Addi and Gigi!
What a cutie!
Mom brought out Grandma's accordion and we tried to get her to play it, but she wouldn't, so Baron tried.
We love going to Grandma's house!
Andy helped Grandma with a few things around the house.
We finished the day with the best pizza in the world--Top Hat! Yummy! Yummy!

We had a great time at Grandma's! Thanks for having us! We love you, Grandma!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Molly was insistent that I have a Cars party!
My favorite part of the day was when everyone sang Happy Birthday to me!
The kids love Grandma!
We had a nice dinner out, despite a melt down by Molly! Ugh!
Getting my cake ready
The kids were excited to eat cake!
They are so cute!
The girls are both signed up to take dance lessons in August, so they got new dance shoes!
They were very excited about their dance shoes!

It was a great birthday! I got a lot of nice gifts and tons of birthday wishes on facebook! Thanks everyone!

Splash Pad





On Saturday we went to the splash pad in Indy! What a could place! Unfortunately, the kids wanted to play on the playground the whole time! We still had fun and enjoyed the day!

Toy Story 3!


It was a rainy morning, so we decided to go see Toy Story 3. (It is only $5.25 before noon, what a deal!) Molly wasn't sure that she wanted to go to the movie. She was a little grumpy this morning. But once the movie started she was totally into it. When it was over she said "that was a good movie, Mommy!!!" She was clapping and so happy! It was a great movie. I never cry at movies, but I cried at this one. What a sweet movie. They do such a great job with these movies. We give it 5 stars! Andy liked it too! Molly got the adorable shirt and dolls from Auntie An for her birthday. She also got a Jessie doll that she played with all afternoon! What a nice day!

Karly's Party

What a great picture! It is really hard to get pictures when they are this active! Today we had Karly's 6th birthday. I can't believe she is 6! Where does the time go?
As you can tell, Molly had a blast! She loves jumping and running around with all the other kids!
Too Cute!
That doesn't look very comfortable on your feet!
Just hanging around!
All the kids for a picture, except that Karly is hidden.
Happy Birthday Karly! Thanks for inviting us!
This is my favorite picture! I think it is so funny! Don't worry, she didn't land that way. She turned over. But she definitely got braver as the party went on.
Yum! Cookie Cake!
All the kids are getting so big!

Thanks for a great party Karly! We hope it was a great 6th birthday!

A Wonderful Week!

There really isn't anything more important to me than spending time with my family. Especially this beautiful little girl! We had such a great time watching her play and enjoying the water and sand and especially watching her and Gigi and Addi play. She is a ray of sunshine that lights up our whole lives!
My wonderful hubby! He takes such great care of us and I love watching him and Molly together! He is my best friend and I love traveling with him! I really love that he went and watched Eclipse with me!!!! Thanks baby! We love you!
My Honey! Thanks for getting us there and back safely!
The Gambrels! What can we say? We love hanging out with you guys! Uncle Baron: Molly was your best friend this week! Thanks for being so good to her. Addi: We love watching you play in the water and how much you loved the fireworks! Thank you for letting Molly give you baths! You are such a sweet boy! Gigi Lynn: You are such a sunbeam! You always have a smile on your face and light up the room! There is nothing I love more than listening to you and Molly talk to each other. It is really a joy to see how well you two get along. Molly LOVES you and so do we! Auntie An: I have such a great time hanging out with you. I appreciate all your support and love the time we spend together! You have a wonderful family and we treasure our time with you all!
Mimi and Papa: Thank you so much for a wonderful week! The kids love you both so much. We appreciate all the activities you had for them and us to do! Molly LOVES her Mimi and Papa and we treasure the time we spend with you. You are both really fun to be around and we are so thankful to be able to spend this time with you! Thank you for all your love and support!
The kids all love Mimi and Papa!
Grandma: We are so thankful to be able to have spent this time with you! Molly thinks the world of you and so do we. Thank you for all you do and for always being there for all of us!
What handsome boys!

I think it is pretty obvious that we had an amazing week. We are big believers in how important vacations are and to spend them with family is even better. We truly enjoyed this time together. It really is priceless! I am very thankful for such a wonderful family!

Dinner with Jake the Salty Dog!






For our last dinner in Hilton Head we went to South Beach for a nice relaxing dinner outside with some wonderful music. Jake the Salty Dog stopped by and the kids were very excited to see him! The kids were also excited that they didn't have to sit still, they could run around and play!
