JUST FUN IN THE SPRINKLER 06/25/10

One of the girls' favorite thing to do is run through the sprinkler even though we have a pool. I just had to take some pictures. The light and the trees were so pretty.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA/MOM 06/23/10

My mom is the best mom!! She is the greatest role model and teacher for these girls. They are like her best friend. On her birthday she had to work and then she took the girls to cheer. When she brought them back we had dinner and cake!
We love you Nana/Mom. Thank you for being such an inspiration in our lives and all the support you give our family. Happy Birthday!
