Lake in July!

We started off July by heading to the lake with Ryan's Uncle and Aunt and cousin from Iowa!  We had a lot of fun celebrating the 4th with them!

These pics are all out of order but here the girls are catching a bucket full of minnows. (HEA)

My sister and brother in law came out too!  Love my sis so much!

My sis and I mastered slaloming!  I am sore!! :)

This was the first year we attempted sparklers with the girls!  They were a huge hit! (AHE)

Auntie Kara and the girls

Love Em

 Hailey and her s'more!



And this is a bad pic but the girls LOVED playing king of the hill on our friends' raft.  We couldn't believe they thought it was so fun for us to fling them off the raft.  They would have played ALL night.   They slept SOOO good that week!! :)

Celebrating 10 years!!

So some of my friends and I have decided to take up golfing this summer! All of our men LOVE it and so we thought we'd try it out too! So far, we actually love it and are having so much fun playing! We have even improved our strokes a bit! 

Andrea and I hit our shots off the tee this close to the hole!! We were so pumped!!! (Too bad we still didn't get a birdie) :)

The girls have been playing lots of soccer! Last week they had soccer camp and loved it!! They want to play every day! (HAE)

Then Friday Ryan and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary!! I really can't believe how fast time flies! I feel so blessed to be married to Ry.  He is so good for me, such a fun husband and an amazing dad too. I love you so much Babe!!  We celebrated by golfing 18! Then we went to a spa for a couples massage! Then out for the best dinner!! The spa was great and even made this little dessert plate for us afterwards!

And dinner was amazing! They decorated the table for us, gave me a single rose, all the wait staff signed a card for us, they took a pic of us and printed it right there, and they gave us free champagne and dessert! Crazy! But we definitely enjoyed celebrating!!

Saturday we went on our first family bike ride with no training wheels!! The girls all officially learned a couple weeks ago and we finally felt okay going farther without worrying about a wipeout. :) bike riding as a family is so fun. The girls did great! 

Hailey and em

We packed a picnic with cousin Erin too!! We got to watch her all day because her parents were in Mexico.  We love playing with her!!

Then yesterday was quite the morning.  All of the sudden I see Hailey's bottom teeth bleeding. They were super loose! So I pulled them out in a matter of 2 minutes. Then immediately Addison starts crying because she didn't want to be the last one to lose a tooth. I checked her mouth and sure enough, loose one too.  So I pulled that one out too! So in a matter of 5 minutes, we had 3 teeth on the counter!! :) em was coaching her sisters, telling them it only hurt a little, etc. The tooth fairy had to make a special stop at the bank!! :) 

And..we went strawberry picking with Grandma Kathy! The girls were very into it and did not want you stealing any of the berries from "their patch."  It's quite addicting so we have so many strawberries! 

And here's a cute pic of the girls with one of their favorite babysitters who was also one of my high school small group girls this year..but now she graduated!! We will miss you Rach!!
