Happy Birthday Mom!

We celebrated my mom's birthday this week and she is definitely a woman to be celebrated. I am so blessed to have her as my mom and Maggie is so blessed to have her as a grandmother. My mom is the most selfless, amazing, loving, serving, Godly woman I know. She is the best!

Visitors

Last month my dear sweet friend Shea and her precious daughter Claire came to visit. It was so fun to see Maggie and Claire play and I loved my time with Shea. Here are some pics from their vist and one from last year. The girls are growing so fast!

Ruidoso 2010

Last week we traveled with my family to Ruidoso, NM. We had a great time with everyone. Maggie had horrible allergies the first couple of days and then the twins had the same thing. So thanks to kleenex, vicks and humidifiers we were able to get through the week! Maggie rode a pony for the first time (actually she loved it so much that we went ride twice). She named the ones she rode Apple and Carrot which we thought was so funny and cute. We went on a picnic one day, went to parks, shopped, went looking for deer and just really enjoyed relaxing and being with one another. I took tons of pictures so I will only post some of my favorites.

Kimbell Ranch

This past weekend we went out with our friends to the Kimbell Ranch. It was SO fun to get away with some fun people! We had a great time with our great friends. I took this picture from Lindsey's blog...so thanks Linds!

Fourth of July

I have probably spent every Fourth of July down at the lake and it has always been one of my favorite holidays for that reason. I love that all of the family is together for at least three days and this year was no different. Even though this year it was a bit chaotic (6 adults, a 2 and a half year old, 11 week old twins and 3 dogs in a 1400 sq ft cabin) I would not have trade it for anything! Due to the cramped space my dad bought an Airstream for extra room and we enjoyed it too this weekend. Every year my dad, Adam and Danny put on a firework show. I was a bit nervous about how loud they would be and that Maggie would be scared. So I told her that we were going to have a party because it was America's birthday and there would be pretty fireworks to celebrate and they might be a little loud. She loves any kind of party and this was no different. She told everyone she saw that it was going to be "America's birthday and there would be fireworks and she didn't need to be scared" (direct quote) My dad even bought her head phones from the gun range to help her. She wore them for a little bit but took them off and enjoyed the show with all of us. Enjoy the pictures!

Summer Update

We have been having such a fun summer! We have taken a trip to Sea World, numerous trips to the lake and to the swimming pool. Maggie has become quite the little swimmer and would stay in the water all day. Here are some fun pictures that I have taken. I do not have any pics yet of Sea World but when I do, I will post them.

LOVE this picture!

She loves her Chi Chi and Henry
