Rock Stars

My mom got the girls a princess microphone and amplifier. You can plug in your MP3 player into it and the music plays through the speaker. It is awesome!!! The girls love it. Here is a taste of what goes on in our house every day.

Sweet Friends

We love our friends Alex and Jaycen and we love that they invite us to swim in their pool! We will miss them dearly when they move to New York.



Great Grandma

While we were in Enid for Father's Day my grandma came over for lunch. It was so good to see her and I just love to see her with my girls. I am so glad they are able to get to know her. Too sweet.






Father's Day

This year we celebrated Jared on the Saturday before Father's Day. We had presents and went out to eat at a restaurant of his choosing. He picked Cracker Barrel...not my top pick ever but it was not my day! :) The girls and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful man in our life. We are very thankful.

On Father's Day we went to my parents house for a surprise lunch for my dad. I am so lucky to have such a godly man as my daddy and I am truly proud to be his daughter.





 I am grateful for the two men in my life that I couldn't do without.

Happy Father's Day, Jared and daddy!




Sleeping Beauties




Is there anything more precious than a sleeping child? I was so thankful that while in KC the light coming through during nap time was perfect for getting these pictures. The girls were so tired they didn't even hear the click of the camera. I love these pictures!!!

The Beck Family Reunion

We left Great Bend after my friend's wedding dance and drove to Kansas City for Jared's family reunion. We made it to the hotel about 1 a.m. We spent the next 2 days with the Becks. We went to Lego Land, the aquarium, had KC BBQ (with a live band), went swimming,  visited, played  Mexican Train dominoes (Beck tradition), and went to a Royals game. It was the girls' first major league game. They liked it but every time a vendor came by they wanted whatever he was selling. Somehow we made it out of there without going broke. We were able to meet new cousins and see others we had not seen in awhile. We look forward to everyone getting together again next year! Hopefully next year we won't be having another 9 day stretch of vacation and 24 hours total driving in the car like this year. We had fun but it was so good to be home.

Great grand children with Nana.

Go Royals!


Wedding Time

We left our family vacation in Ardmore and headed to Great Bend, Kansas for my friend Shannon's wedding. She asked me to be a bridesmaid and I was so excited and honored to be a part of her day.
 It was a 6 hour drive and I was a little worried that it was going to be a horrible ride but as always the girls surprise me. The girls were wonderful during the wedding as well. Jared had pads of paper and pencils to keep them busy but they liked watching mommy in her "purple wedding dress". The girls talked about how they were getting to go to the "wedding party" all day. The girls danced and played games at the reception/dance. They had a blast! I had so much fun watching them. They loved spinning in their dresses and loved dancing with mommy and daddy.
We left after the dance and drove to Kansas City for the Beck family reunion. That was another 4 hours in the car. Luckily the girls danced themselves sleepy and slept most of the way.
It was so great to see some of my Great Bend friends again. It was great seeing Shannon. I miss her dearly so it was wonderful seeing her again and especially on her special day. Best wishes to the happy couple. :)
