london turns four

londy turned four on june 8th. man time goes by so fast! we went to peter piper with the ruffs,the lake with papa,icecream cake with nonni, and dinner with mom and dad. it was so fun picking out her birthday presents... i think they were more for me than they were for her. they still have the classics...lite brite, lincoln logs, view finder, ect. so i am soooo glad to know that she loves the lite brite and lincoln logs... she has been waking brandon up at 5am to start a new lite brite pic EVERY morning! he is THRILLED with this! lol!

so here are a few things about our girl we love sooooooo much!

-she has many nicknames...mouse,bug,londyroo, londy, londylou, peanut and biscuit(thanks to kei-kei)
-she calls our friend dan...damn.... which is hilarious! and he just rolls with it :)
-chocolate milk is her all time favorite
-chicken nuggets,apples, pbjelly and jam (as she calls them) is about all she will eat of REAL food. but like any child loves chocolate, sugar and any kind of snack cracker!
-she carries this nasty blankie with her and it is shredded to hell
-she is very tenderhearted
-a daddys girl times a million
-too sassy for her own good(i know you are shocked she is my daughter?)
-she forever calls aunt meggie..... "uncle joey"
-tickle me is her favorite pastime-it means to scratch her back,arms, tummy, face, nose...you name it
-and her cousin conner is the coolest thing in her world
-babies...little animals she sleeps,eats and bathes with...im pretty sure these will be tucked in her wedding dress with her or at least in her backpack to college!

all in all she is OUR favorite girl, quirks and all. shes sweet, sassy, funny and smart and we are so lucky she is ours! heavenly father must of had a plan because she was a surprise to us and the best surprise we've ever had. happy birthday bug!
we love you!

lake time

lake time is almost as great as beach time! we spent today at the lake and boy do i LOVE it! i never really get to go that much since i have always worked on saturdays... however now that i only work one sat. a month i have plenty of time to join londy and b out at bartlet! it was beautiful today and i even decided to wake board. (which you might remember from previous posts was one of my very favortie things to do but i am so scared my lung will collapse if i crash that i seldom do this anymore.) no jumps! (not that i could do them anyways!) and nothing crazy but just to be pulled behind the boat and feel the wind on my face is such an amazing feeling! it will be a very sad day when the docs will no longer let bri do this!! but for now BRING IT ON :)




londy is also a huge fan and has been on papas boat since she was just a couple months old! what a cutie! this was part of her birthday celebrations! 4 years old...wow!

29 and holding

well i just had my official last birthday ever! from now on im just having anniversarys. like when i turn 39 it will just be 29-10! 10th anniversary addition.



with the people i love the most! celebrations for the month! movies and dinner, breakfasts, more dinner, more treats, more movies, girls nights and pool time! shopping and we are only on day 3 of the birthday week! anyone want to celebrate? any reason to party is a good one for me!

end of april thru now

a blur of events! it seems like we came back from hawaii and have just had one non stop party! lots of photo sessions... which i am loving! birthday celebrations and plans for the summer! summer is barely here and it already seems full.
here are a few of the highlights...


dan-o's birthday! love him like a brother! how lucky i am to have such GREAT friends!

hottie girls(well at least i think so!) at the dinner celebration

we even boogied a little that night... what a blast! even the boys got into it! hilarious... wish i had pics of that!




my cute londy had her last week of her first year of preschool. i can not believe it! we went to the science center and brandon came too! she got a diploma at her school party and had to say goodbye to friends for the summer :(


with her teacher



i can not believe how big she is getting! her birthday is on saturday! she saw a truck full of teenagers in the parking lot of sonic the other day and told me "you need to be cool to be with them mom" i laughed so hard "why londy?" "you just do mommy" i asked her if she was cool and she said she was not but that i was!
ok she must not know yet that i am a total dork! and it will only be a number of years before i start embarissing her in the car while singing and dancing. lol
