Family pictures

So the other night we decided that we were going to get our family pictures done. My friend Misty was going to take Natalies pictures for me, so we made it a family event. Of course Shaun was against it, complained the whole time getting ready, you know how men are!! Natalie would not let me fix her hair because well she's two and thats what she does!! So I am trying to get these two together, don't have any time to fix myself up, so we of course all leave the house grumpy. Luckily when we got there and she started taking NAtalie's pictures we all started to get into and have a little fun. Misty did a great job and I was pleased with the way they turned out. If anyone is interested in getting their pictures done let me know. She just started doing pictures for people as a hobby, and she is very reasonably priced and gives you a disk with all your proofs so you can do your own printing wherever you want. Anyways, here are some of the pics!

Our 4th of July!

Well we are back home, and we had a great vacation this last week. We couldn't have had a better holiday with all of our family together. My sister and her husband were in town and we had a great visit with them. Natalie loves her auntie suzie more than anyone in this world, so it was a fun week of visiting. Susan is almost as crazy as Natalie and definetly louder, so they get along like 2 peas in a pod!


We had a great time setting off fireworks on the 3rd before my sister left, and on the 4th Shaun Natalie and I sat in our back yard and watched the fireworks being set off in town. It was a great view while we sat at our fire pit and roasted marshmellows and didn't have to fight the crowds! So here are some pictures from our big 4th bash. Shaun got some great pictures of our puny fireworks, but Natalie loved them so it was worth it!She loved the sparklers,and had a great time helping Suzie make shapes in the air!





I am also so greatful to have spent some time with my sister! It was great to see her, and we have a great time together. I miss her already!



So I also had to add these pictures of Natty with her squishy face on, and her giving me a squishy face. She thinks its hilarious, and she looks adorable doing it!
