Birthday Celebration for Tagg

We had a birthday celebration for Tagg the Sunday before his birthday because his birthday fell on the 5th and wasn't convenient to get together on.  Collins and Easton had a blast wrestling and burning off some energy.  Tagg had a fun time playing with his new toys from his cousins and aunts and uncles.  Thanks guys for making Tagg's birthday a great one!  We missed having Grammy, Poppy, Chris, Karim, and Sofia around. 

Pre-4th of July Celebration

Every year in our city we have a 4th of July celebration the Saturday before.  We went and participated in the city's free festivities and fireworks show.  It was fun to have families over to watch the fireworks from our backyard and eat some watermelon and popscicles. 

Cousin Day of Fun

Ashley needed a few hours of down time during their move into their new place and so Syd and Collins came to play and this is what we came up with to do.  The kiddos had a blast!  I am glad that we live so close to my brother and sis-in-law and family.

Mav's 1st Birthday

Kallie and Josh had a party for Mav this year for his birthday.  Kallie had the theme be Shaun the Sheep and so all of the food and decor based around sheep and pigs.  It was way cute!  Josh even carved a pig out of the watermelon rind.  Kallie had some cute games for the kiddos and even had some short dvds for the kiddos to watch of Shaun the Sheep.  Mav had fun and didn't quite know what to do with his sheep cake.  Thanks Josh and Kallie for a fun birthday celebration!  Happy Birthday, Maverik!

Eme's 1st Dance Recital(Tap and Ballet)

Eme had her first dance recital in June.  She did awesome and it was fun to see her perform both tap and ballet.  She especially rocked it in the tap number where she shook her hips.  Hopefully, the dvd will come soon and I can post a clip from her recital.  Eme has new found confidence and I think that preschool and dance have helped her see she can do anything she sets her mind to do!  Go Em!
