Arlo's special Day

On Arlo's birthday we celebrated by heading to Tracy Aviary with some of Arlo's favorite people; my Sister, Sophie, Hayley, Ethan and our good friends the Warner's. Arlo just loves Vince, Julian and Lucy. It was a great day from start to finish!
Here's Arlo with his presents! . We made a bird feeder for the backyard in the spring and it really sparked both of our interest in birdwatching. We love to investigate what type of birds come to visit. I thought he would really enjoy a bird book and some binoculars. The basketball is for Jr. Jazz, which he gets to start this year, And of course his favorite things in the world are transformers, so we got him a very cool one he has been wanting.
After presents it was off to Tracy Aviary. We got to watch a bird show, walk around and see some really cool birds and have a yummy lunch. Everyone had a blast!
What a fun day....We love you Arlo

Arlo's 5th Birthday

We had so much fun on Arlo's 5th birthday. I can't believe how big my boy is getting. This has been a year of a lot of changes and growth for Arlo. I have really enjoyed the sweet, capable, and inquisitive boy he is turning into. Grandma Dilley always has a party at her house for the grandkids. She makes their favorite dinner and cake. This year we decided to host the dilley party at our house. It turned out really fun.
Arlo loves chocolate and peanut butter. This year I tried a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and Reeses crushed up on top. It was so so so yummy!

Good Times with Good Friends

We have a great group of friends (The Warner's, Torro's, Burnsides, and Petersons)that we have been fortunate enough to keep in touch with over the years. We always try to plan a summer camping trip together. This year we made it happen and the kids had such a blast. I am so thankful to have friends that we can always be real with, laugh with, and complain with. I have loved watching our kids grow up together and have such great memories of christmas party's, date nights, and campouts. We love you guys! Heres some pics of the weekend

Now that it's December the 4th and 24 of July were great!




I am pretty bad blogger these days. I know it's been busy around here but really! Sooo, better late than never I guess. July is one of my favorite months! I look forward to the 4th all year. We always have such a good time celebrating with family and friends. We usually start the day off at the Magna parade with Clint's family. This year my Momma joined us so that was fun. After the parade we head over to the Dilley's for a pool party. Lots of family and friends come and we always have a great time.
Here's my cute guy's chillin before the parade starts

Every year on the 24th we head over to Eric and Heather's and light fireworks with the kids. Eric's family usually comes into town and we have quite the fun party. Arlo looks forward to the 24th all year because he gets to see his best buddy in the whole world Teagelet.
