Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

Audrey turned 3 today! She was very excited about the whole thing- in fact she had been talking about it for weeks. We started out with breakfast out, picking out a cake for her party and decorating... she had a princess themed party.  At 4:00 we started partying with her friends! Lot's of great food, friends and gifts. She had a great time the whole day! I just can't believe she is 3! 

Happy 4th of July!

We celebrated the 4th with what has become a tradition of going to our friend Amy's house and having a cookout. We did water balloons, slip and slide, fireworks (thanks to Andy they were the big ones), lots of playing and lot's of eating. We had a great time, what a great way to celebrate our Independence! 

Mountain Trip

The kids and I headed to the mountains with grandpa this weekend. We were about 40 minutes outside of Boone in a 100 year old farm house. It was a shock to the system to not have phone or internet- but the kids ended up loving it. We went to Tweetsie Railroad where we road a ski lift, went on a cowboy train, gem mining, and so much more. We also went fishing for Trout, both kids caught 2 pounders- they caught them at the same time which means that Ryan had to pull his up onto shore with no help! They both did great and we (meaning Grandpa and I) ended up eating fish for dinner! 

There were also bubbles, s'mores, glow sticks, fishing in the creak, running- lots of running, exploring Boone,  and going to a working farm with Emu's, horses, chickens, turkeys and even a 24 hour hold bunny!  We were so tired when we came back that I'm pretty sure we could sleep for a whole day!
