Our week in Emerald Isle this year was very relaxing and enjoyable. Since I am pregnant, I wasn't able to do as much as I would like but it was still alot of fun to watch the kids. We spent most days on the beach or at the pool. We also went to the waterslide, bumper boats, and out on the boat. I didn't want to leave......I LOVE THE BEACH!!!

Happy Father's Day

This year for Father's Day we were in Morehead spending time with PopPop. Luke made his daddy the bow tie pictured above in Primary. It was really cute.
I truly do feel lucky to have such a good husband and father to my children. I felt that I would never find a man that was as good of a daddy as my own but Christian continues to prove to me that is just as good as my daddy was to me. He loves our children, spends time with them, plans ahead for their needs and makes them feel special. I love him very much for that.

My 33rd Birthday!

All the cousins lined up eating some grub. Don't know what Luke was thinking.

Christian taking care of the whole shabang! I love him!

Since my Birthday falls around Memorial Day every year, I like to spend my birthday at the beach. We spent the weekend with Alan and Sharon and they were nice enough to let us have my party at their house. It was very nice. All of Christian's family was there (minus Daniel and Lisa) and all of my family was there. All of these crazy people together = a good time!
