A big birthday surprise!

Last weekend my parents drove down from Washington to surprise me for my birthday! They stayed with us all week and left early this morning. It was so great getting to spend my birthday with them. Rylie had so much fun with her Grandma & Grandpa. It's always SO hard saying good-bye, hopefully we'll see them again soon.

"Thanks Mom & Dad for the wonderful surprise, it meant a lot to me. I love you guys!"

"Thank you to everyone else who texted, called and sent cards. I am very blessed!"

Here are some pictures from their visit...

Me & Jaz

My good friend Jazmine is getting married next May. All of the bridesmaids met for brunch last weekend so that we could get to know each other, it was a really nice day...

"Can't wait for the big day, love you!"

                    

fun in the pool

A couple of weeks ago it was in the 100's so we took Rylie over to the pool. She did very well with her arm floaties. We had a lot of fun playing in the water...

4 years ago...

Four years ago I married the love of my life, my very best friend. I still can't believe it's been four years since our wedding day. What an amazing journey we've been on. Here's to many more happy years together!

"Happy Anniversary Kyle. Thank you for being such a wonderful husband. I love you so much!"

4th of July

We spent 4th of July over at Kyle's parents house in Norwalk. Kyle had to work that night, but Rylie & I stayed and watched fireworks with Papa, Grandma, Auntie Kim, Uncle JT, Jenna & Jake. Rylie had fun running around, playing in her pool, and doing sparklers. She's turning into such a big girl!

This is a whole bunch of firecrackers. I swear this thing lasted 5 minutes!

Rylie liked doing sparklers with Grandma



We hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

best 20 bucks ever spent!

Rylie has kind of out grown her little princess pool we bought her last summer. Kyle found this one at Toys R Us for $19.99! It's a 10X6 pool, Kyle & I can go in it with her hahahaha. She loves it!

fun at "Auntie" Becky's house

A bunch of us went over to my friend Becky's house yesterday for some pizza & swimming! It was a really nice day, and the kids had a blast playing together.
