Natalia's Birthday

For Natalia's real birthday we just had a BBQ and a few people over. It was a very sad day for Ryan and I both because our baby is 1 and growing up so fast. It was also the day she decided to stand up all on her own out in the middle of the yard with no help. Talk about growing to fast.

Natalia loves to play with her kitten Carmel. Even though she tortures him so much the poor kitty takes it and comes back for more. She has the kitten she won't let go of and the card she won't let go of because it sings.

Who is more excited about the presents and helping? Natalia or the girls?

Vanessa and Trista picked out Natalia a birthday card that sang and of coarse had to be high school muical (like Natalia cares :) ) Natalia loved it and kept rocking out to the song it was so cute.

Natalia eating her birthday cake her daddy made. He said his Aunt Laurie made this kind of cake for him once and he has loved it since. (its the cake with the colored chips in it)

more 4th of July

Well after the girls big parade in Hailey we had an early birthday party for Natalia since all of the family was there any ways. We had tons of fun decorations set up in our yard until a big wind storm came up. Our house wasn't big enough to have everyone in it so luckily we have great neighbors and we used their garage. It was a lot of fun.

Natalia after eating her cupcake she loved it and made a huge mess.

This is what Natalia looked like after my dad decided it would be fun to give her potato salad which she loved. What a mess.

My little brother Tyler and his nieces. Everyone but Natalia thought it was so fun

4th of July

So for the 4th of July Vanessa and Trista were in the Hailey parade. They are part of the Wood River pee-wee cheerleading team. They were so excited. Then Auntie Lisa showed up the night before. The girls love when Auntie Lisa does their hair. It was a great parade they did so well.

Our adorable cheerleaders.

Vanessa is so cute

Ok I can't believe how fast time flies. I can't believe in 3 months my baby will be 9. Where does the time go? I have learned the hard way my kids grow up to fast its so sad. Their personalities are so different. Vanessa is so much like her dad and so easy going I love it.

Vanessa loves when Natalia wants to snuggles with her. Its so cute.

There is tall grass by our yard and thought it would be cute for pics. Natalia didn't like it at all because it was "grass" and she hates grass.

ok so this isn't Vanessa but I love this time of year when the hay gets cut.

The day the 4 H sheep got weighed in and sheared Vanessa loved taking care of the wool for her Papa. She did such a great job.

swim lessons

The girls started swim lessons last week. They love the diving board. They are both doing very well. Sometimes the drive gets tough especially with the main road out of Carey closed (ok so every road out of Carey has major construction going on). Its worth it though seeing them have so much fun and learning.

Vanessa would jump off all day if they'd let her. She is getting braver with her tricks its so cute.

I laugh seeing Trista jump off this is how she jumps every time. So cute

Daddy & Natalia

One morning I was really busy and asked Ryan to dress Natalia for me and well I came outside to see if she was dressed and ready and this is how I found them both. Yah they were both laughing and thought it was so funny. It was so cute. Natalia tries to dress herself and just can't quite figure it out. So cute

Flag Pole

Well Ryan wanted a flag pole put up so the girls helped him put it up one day. Ryan has taught him how to respect the flag and how to put it up and take it down and how to fold it. It has really been great. It is amazing to me how many people have no idea how to respect a flag and just treat them horrible its so sad.
