Camping Trip





This past weekend we all got together for a family camping trip at Diamond Lake. Jeff, Rayden and I were joined by my parents, Bryan, Renee and thier kids, Bonnie and Chuck, Kathy and Mike, Andrea with their kids. The trip was so much fun and it was so nice to catch up with everyone and spend some time together. We ended up getting rained out on Sunday but besides that we had a ton of fun! Can't wait to do it again next year!!

Our Dirty Girl





Oh my did Rayden end up dirty this past weekend. She had so so much fun playing in the dirt and as soon as we would clean her up, she would be all filthy again! She had dirt coming out of everywhere!!! This is the dirtiest she has ever been for sure! It took a shower and then 2 baths to finally remove all of the dirt!!

The Girls





Rayden and Rayna had so so so much fun together once again!!! They get along so well and kept each other busy all weekend. They had a blast playing in the dirt together, talking little walks to explore, and sliding down the hill! They would slide down the hill on their butts together the whole time yelling "A weeeee A weeeee A weeeee" They are just toooo cute together!

Rayden and the Babies



Rayden was in heaven all weekend since there were two babies there to hold and play with! She held Brady a couple of times even though he weighs almost as much as she does, and she got to feed Xander a couple of times. Who wouldn't have fun with babies around!

Playing with Papa Chuck


Papa Chuck had a rope hanging off his trailer and all of the kids loved playing with it. They would pull on it or Papa Chuck would swing it to them and they would try to catch it!! They had tons of fun doing this and then he gave them all some yummy ice cream!!!

Glow Sticks


Mike gave all of the kids glow sticks on Saturday night and who knew that they could be so much fun???!!!?? They had fun waving them around and looking through them at everything. Thanks Mike!!!!

Dessert Time


Each night everyone sat around the campfire talking and of course making desserts! Roasting marshmallows of course and making smores and banana boats!!

Birthday Party



Rayden had a lot of fun at her birthday party. A lot of people came to join in the celebration! So hard to believe that she is 2!!!! What a big girl she has grown to be already. The boy in the first picture is Brody. I worked with his mom and we had them on the same day. He was 2 lbs bigger then, Rayden was bigger when they were 1 and now he is bigger! It is fun seeing them together and how different they are. Thanks to everyone who came to the party and Happy Birthday Rayden!!

Cake and Ice Cream




This year to make things a little easier and neater, we did cupcakes and little ice cream cups! Rayden blew out her own candles on her pretty Minnie Mouse cupcakes. All of the kids enjoyed the treats!!

Presents





Rayden loved opening all of her presents this year and did it all by herself!! She had to make sure every piece of paper was off each present. She got a lot of neat stuff nad has a lot of fun playing with it all. Thank-you everyone!!

Rayden's Quad


Grandma and Papa got Rayden a electric quad for her birthday and boy does she love it!!! She isn't good at steering yet so someone has to be out there with her to turn her around all of the time!! She has to push a button the whole time with her thumb to make it go, and her little thumb gets tired, so she reaches across all the time and uses the other hand. What a fun toy! Thanks grandma and papa!!!

Bouncy House




Most of the kids had fun in the bouncy house at the party. Rayna got in it a little bit but got scared when it deflated one time, then she would not go back in. Caitlyn had a blast in it and used it the most. It was a fun party!

Water Fun



One of Rayden's presents from Mommy and Daddy was a fun water table. We set it up at the party for all of the kids to play with. They all had a blast with it and it was a bigger hit than the bouncy house!! Who knew water could be so much fun!

They did a little in office one and everything seems to look great and by the little one it looks like we are having another girl! This is what we were hoping for, but we will actually have to wait until Thursday to know for sure. So next Thursday I will let everyone know and I will post pictures of the new little one too! I will post all the pictures from Rayden's birthday party tomorrow......it has been a long day so far and I am tired!
