Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July!!! I have decided that this is by far one of my favorite holidays. I had so much fun getting the kids all decked out as well as Mike and I. I love the music and family time and friends and the fireworks. That being said I only got to do a few of those things but it was still a great day! The kids looked great and I really had a good time putting it together. We went to a BBQ at a friends awesome house and that was great. We missed being with our family and we did not make it to the fireworks but we did watch some great shows on PBS in DC and there was great music and no traffic. Here are some pictures of the kids and a pretty cute family photo. Who knows maybe someday we will get to be on DC on the fourth I think it would be super fun!!!

Riding the Range

On base there is a stable that we have always been curious about and we finally explored it last friday. There are pony rides for 2 dollars for 2 laps around a large trail. We took our good friends the Asays and got the kids all geared up (disneyland provided the outfits). Sarah and I did not wear proper foot wear so we were not allowed to lead the ponies so the kids took turns walking around the trail with the dads who somehow knew that you need to wear hard soled shoes and not flipflops. I think the kids really liked it, I thought it was fun. I wanted to get on the horse myself but to go on guided tours you have to be 7 so it will have to be a time without the children. Anyway here are some pictures from the fun day or rather hour and a half. It was wild though we signed a paper and then they brought the horse out and said have fun, I am not sure that they knew we have no experience with horses but no one got hurt. We also brought carrots for the ponies and the horse wanted them out of my pocket so that is why the horse is wrapped around me and I am laughing in our family shot picture.

Fort sleep over

We have a front room that Sydney has named the "do anything room" because the kids use it for dancing wrestling drawing computer you name it so it is the do anything room. Well Mike built a fort with the kids to play in and they decided to sleep in it. Don't they look so cute asleep and I kinds worried about them in the front room alone but then at 6 am the fort was empty and they were in our bed.




I still think they had fun.

Tons of pictures!

This is just a bunch of pictures from the last month. Mostly of Shelby since she is the newest toy in the house. I still can't believe that she is almost 5 months old and Sydney and Andrew still can't get enough of her and want to hold her and play with her and she is the first thing they want in the morning! Shelby is pretty cute though so I don't blame them!!! There are pictures of new bikes and another trip to Disneyland with friends that I have known my whole life pretty much family! What else there was so many pictures I just uploaded and I was painting finger nails in between. Yes Andrew is wearing nail polish he loves it and we were at the mothers day party and Sydneys school and the kids paint the moms nails and Sydney got hers done so of course Andrew has to as well. Today he is wearing blue at least. I need to get some clear. Anyway here you go things are just the same around here! Enjoy the pictures who knows when I will post again!!!
