We borrowed this cardboard Edward from some girls sitting behind us. I have such awesome girls in my neighborhood! Geez- I can't believe I forgot to wear my vampire fangs, red contacts, and "Team Edward" shirt. What was I thinking? Actually, I think I am kind of "Team Neutral"!!!
Here is a picture of the whole group.... it's so fuzzy because I brought my old camera.
We had a play date with some friends. These three boys had a blast playing with each other!
They ran around copying eachother, threw water balloons, played with bubbles, and got all wet!
Quinton and Stockton
Our little family on my birthday! We took Drake over to my mom's house and went out to Famous Dave's. It was quite delicious! I was spoiled by my husband and family.... like always!
I sure have such a greater appreciation for my mom now that I have experienced pregnancy and motherhood! Thanks for giving birth to me 24 years ago and being the best mom every step of the way! I couldn't be happier or wish for a better life! I feel so blessed to be alive and to celebrate another year with those I love!
When we got home to pick up Drake he was having so much fun in the sprinklers!
Let's just say.... he DID NOT want to come home!
I was so sad that I forgot my camera for our Father's Day festivities. I was able to capture this picture after we got home though. We had a BBQ at both of our parent's houses. Drake played so hard and wasn't able to take a nap so he zonked out on our way home and couldn't ever fully wake up for the rest of the night. He was really good, but I have never seen him so tired! Trevor and I love it when Drake falls asleep on us, because it hardly ever happens. He is such a busy boy and he never stops to take a break to snuggle! Happy Father's Day to Trevor! He is such a great dad and Drake just LOVES him so much! Da-da is the first word he says in the morning when I get him out of his crib. He is asking me if Da-da is home or if he is at work. It is so cute how much he loves his Da-da. We also have such awesome dads/step-dad/grandpas! We love them all and appreciate all they do for us! Dads are AWESOME!!! It was a GREAT day!
We got a 2009 Nissan Murano. We were SO SAD to trade in the Trailblazer, but we are SO EXCITED to get this new car. We have been looking for an AWD SUV for awhile and we both decided that we really liked the Murano. We looked and looked and finally found this one in Boise. We met them in Burley yesterday to test drive it, and we loved it.... so we brought it home. When we were looking at cars I told Trevor that the only color I didn't want is silver, but this was a SUPER GREAT deal, so we just had to get it. And I am actually loving the silver now! We hope it treats us as good as the Trailblazer did! We are loving it!!!
Just when we thought he was getting better from being sick, he gets sicker. The poor little guy has strep throat now. If he doesn't have a fever then he is actually super happy, but when his fever comes back he gets a little miserable. Any suggestions on how to make your kid take medicine? He used to be really good at it until now! I think he is on his way to feeling better though. We are all sick of this bad weather and everyone being sick. It's the middle of June.... not flu season!
This dresser was Trevor's dads when he was younger. It is about 50 years old!
Trevor getting it all sanded and ready for me to paint!
The finished dresser! We think it turned out great. I just sanded it, painted it, painted the flowers, and put on the knobs. We are glad we didn't have to go buy a new dresser and it's going to look just perfect in her room!
Up close view of the flower and knob. We have her bedding, but we still need to paint her room! Also, we are waiting for Drake to get into a big boy bed before we can put the crib in her room. He is not even close to going to a big boy bed, so hopefully we can get him ready shortly after she arrives! I will post more pictures of her room when it is done!
I made this bow holder for her. 
Well, we are about 95% sure that her name is going to be LAYNIE!!! We call her Laynie Bug all the time, so that is what I put on the bow holder. I love it!!! 
Check out all those bows. There is no more room for any more bows on there, so I better stop my obsession with bow making.

Well we have had a GREAT 5 years together! We have had some really wonderful times and have made awesome memories! We look forward to this next year. It might be one of the hardest years we will have, but we know we can do anything if we are together! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!
We celebrated Mother's Day at my Uncle Don's house and we had fondue. It was delicious and we all had a great time!
My Grandma, mom, and me. My Grandma is also such a wonderful lady. She is so kind, funny, and loving. These ladies are both great examples to me.
The kids had fun playing outside. They fed some horses...
And Trevor took them all for a quick ride on the 4-wheeler. It was more work getting the biggest kid (Trevor) off than any of the little kids. He is definitely a kid at heart!
We all loved the warm weather. It was fun to play outside in the backyard.
Drake loved playing with daddy in the backyard.
We also got to meet up with some of our best friends for a delicious dinner at P.F. Changs. There were some more people here, but they had to leave before our photo session began!
Donnie, Kylee, and Stockton came over after dinner for a little chatting and swimming. The little boys had a blast swimming and playing together. Drake loved Stockton. He is a little older than Drake, so Drake would just copy whatever he did.
We also got to see Matt in a swim meet. He plays water polo and also swims. We were cheering for him and called him "The Torpedo in a Speedo".
At the swim meet. Go Matt!
Drake was in love with their dog Amber. He is so nice and gentle to dogs! He must have been missing his own little doggies.
Well...... we were hoping to bring the warm weather back with us, but we were unsuccessful. We had a wonderful time and we can't wait to visit again! 
They loved their bike ride together
