Rain, a blow dry and rain again

This is the first time Maggie has been outside without someone right there. Normally she would have run in behind me but she was in a crazed frenzie running in the rain. I have only had dogs afraid of storms so when it was raining I thought we would have a hard time getting her out, but what I didn't realize it we would have a hard time getting her back in.



not that I was looking too cute in the rain either

ooops... needed to go out again...

I don't think Maggie cared when I said I wasn't giving her another bath...

Lilly turns 2!!!

For Lilly American Girl wrapping paper is as exciting as Tiffany's blue box is for Mom.



Told Lilly to wait for everyone to come in the room...

one for me, one for you...

Sierra is 16

Some dinner at McAllisters' a family favorite. Why we sit Lilly next to the mirror we do not know...

My big girl and me ;)

Yep, she put some thought into that maneuver.

Lilly learning the ropes of this birthday thing since she is next.

Labor Day Weekend

My cousin Melinda her husband and baby Kelly drove down for the long weekend. It was so fun to have them here, it had been too long since we had seem them last.

The weekend began with a back yard project. A few trips to Home Depot and some man labor later we have a patio area for the grill where a tree Brayden is allergic to and a pile of dirt used to be.

Get your grill on Rob Boone :)

My girls, the Hula Hoop Gang

and an after dinner treat turned into alot of laughs.

Brayden had a hard time saying goodbye. He really took to Melinda and crew.
