A 4th of July Celebration

This year the girlies, Trav, and I got to spend the 4th of July out on the lake..and it was an absolute blast! We all had so much fun cruising the lake, swimming, snacking galore, getting sunkissed by the sun (mommy got way more than her fair share of sunrays!), and fishing! It was such a fun memory to make with our sweet little girls! (I'm a little sad that I wasn't brave enough to bring my camera out on the boat...so no pictures of our boat outing!) :(

We also got to catch a viewing of the Yukon Fireworks Show with the Moss Family! The girls had so much fun playing with their cousins Nik & John..and the Vay and Addy got to love on their Uncle John (who Adalynne adores!) & Auntie Lissa! Too cute!

A 4th of July Cookout

This year the girls and I got to join in the on some of the 4th of July fun going on at the Hildebrand's home...we got to eat some yummy food & the girlies got to play with their friends! Fun times!!

Dress Up

Earlier this week Grammi and Gigi Nani came over and we loaded up the girls and headed to the mall for an afternoon of shopping! The girls were so excited to go shopping at the disney store...their was no talking them out of their Woody & Jessie dolls, since me and the girls just went and saw Toy Story 3 with some of our friends!

When we got back...Addy Grace had to whip out her new dress up outfits she got for her birthday and give us a fashion show...in a matter of five minutes the girls had all their tiara's, princess high heels, and dresses out it was too cute. Here's some highlights of Addy being a little diva....

Dane & Jenna's Wedding

My baby brother, Dane just tied the knot with his sweet fiance Jenna on June 26th, 2010! Their wedding was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier for the newlyweds!

To make the wedding day even sweeter...our two little princesses got to share in their moment by being the flower girls...and it was truly precious!! The "throwing of the flowers petals" went perfect, considering Avayah and Adalynne are 4 and 2...but things got a little funny when Addy Boo decided that she needed to retrieve all flower petals back up in the middle of their vows! Cute, cute memory!

Dane & Jenna, We love you...thank you for being such a delightful couple and sweet & thoughtful Uncle & Auntie! More than Best Wishes...

Mr. & Mrs. Dane Garcia

Love my baby brother!

A Day of Birthday Magic for Addy Grace

It's hard to believe that our little ham is 2! Just two years ago on June 23rd @ 12:43 p.m. God blessed us with our second little slice of heaven, Adalynne Grace. She has given our family so much joy, laughter, and bliss!

To celebrate our sweet little girls day...Daddy, Mommy, and big sister Avayah and the birthday girl picked up dough-no's (Addy's name for doughnuts), hung by the pool while big sissy had swim lessons, went to the Omniplex and played the entire afternoon, came home and got to swim, while Daddy cooked out for us, and then we topped off the day by chowing down on some yummy birthday cake! Here are the highlights...

So excited about arriving at the Omniplex!

Happy Birthday to you!

Swim lessons for a little water bug...

Avayah just completed her second year of swim lessons! Over the course of her two week session, she did amazing!! I was so proud of how she followed direction, kicked her little gams, and was able to hold her breath underwater for 3-5 seconds! Addy did so good too, watching her big sissy treading water!

Princess Twinkle Toes Dance Recital

Avayah just wrapped up another year of dance this past weekend! It is truly amazing to see the progress she has made since she started dance two years ago. She had one fun, yet hectic recital weekend.

Her ballet/tap class of four performed a ballet routine to All Day/All Night~Jesus Loves Me! She was absolutley wonderful and entertaining, and I'm so proud of the little performer we have on our hands!

Spooners...

Splashing into Summer...

The girlies had their friends, Hadley & Jack over for a pizza/pool party! They had so much fun kicking summer off splashing, chasing, and being silly little kiddos!

Amelia's Nursery

I have finally hit that point in my pregnancy where I woke up one morning and said to myself..."um, yeah Sarah, you only have 12 weeks until she's here!" The whole nesting-organizational element kicked in and suddenly I'm plagued with a serious case of OCD!

Even though I'm stressing, it's so exciting! I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to prepare for my third daughter's arrival, she is already so, so special to me!

This is what I have accomplished in the last week of my get-it-done craziness!
