Summer Fun

This summer has been fun. No vacations, but we've had a good time together as a family.

Ivie had a little accident, when she decided to jump off of her friends moving bicycle. Poor thing, I felt so bad I wanted to cry. It's so hard to see your baby hurt. She had some war wounds:


Her poor face was swollen, bruised, and all scratched up. Then ...



Her leg was all messed up too. She's pretty tough though. Cried for a minute but then she was pretty much over it.




The next big event was Claire's 5Th Birthday! She was so excited. I can't believe my little girl is 5 and going to Kindergarten. What a sweetie.





She wanted Fun Fetti cupcakes with pink frosting. She asked for a Barbie scooter and a Nintendo DS. She got both and much, much more.


Now, we just have the big ordeal of getting her ready for school in a week (so crazy)!!



Then, a huge milestone. My baby turned 8. Can you believe it. I have an 8 year old that will be baptized in a few weeks and we're all so excited for that. She had a friend Birthday party and the girls were so cute.


We did manicures, pedicures, made bracelets, and decorated flip flops. I think they all had a fun time. Ivie's cousin Londyn spent the night and then joined the party too. Ivie and Londyn planned what to wear both days so they could be twins. They're pretty silly girls.


Ivie asked for a suitcase, which I thought was pretty cute, and a new swim suit. That was it. So, she got those and she also got a Nintendo DS. I don't think she ever thought she'd get one so she just didn't bother asking.



As you can see we've had a busy summer. Now, if I can get through Convention (those of you who know me well enough, know what that means in my life) in a couple of weeks and then a baptism the following week it will be smooth selling and I'll feel like I can breathe!
