Maggie's latest victim

Since this dog came into our lives we have lost a few things in our household: flip flops, barbie hand, scrapbook stickers, a cup, a waterbottle, some play food, etc., and the latest victim-little barbie girl! The girls were pretty upset because now they only have 2 barbie kids instead of 3! I won't pretend that it's not totally irritating and that I feel like a prisoner in my own home sometimes. Maybe there will be a day when I will be ok with this dog but right now I am grieving the loss of yet another one of our belongings. R.I.P Barbie Girl

It's all about Dad day!

Derek has been a Dad for over 9 years now and he is an awesome one! The girls love their daddy. They are always excited when he comes home from work and Abby especially likes when the "tickle monster" comes out! Derek is a loving dad, hardworking, fun and such a good example to our girls. We love him so much!

I am thankful for my own Dad and for the great example he is to me. He is a strong, honest and hardworking man and I love him very much.

Movie in the Park

It was a fun night at Movie in the Park in Gardnerville. We had been looking forward to this all week! We had some good friends with us, The Christensen's and Shattuck's and lots of good snacks. The weather was decent and the stars were out. We watched How to Train Your Dragon and the kids enjoyed it. Derek was kind enough to get on the ground and take a picture, notice his goofy face!

Here is a picture of everyone, well almost everyone.
I love doing things like this. I really love to spend time with our little family and friends too! This is what makes me happy:)

Treat Thursday #2

As part of our Summer List we are doing a Treat Thursday. This week it was Flip-Flop cookies from FamilyFun.com! They were fairly easy and fun to put together. Abby's are on the left, then Gracie's, Mommy and Bryanna. She had already ate one of hers before I took the picture;) For our first Treat Thursday we just made chocolate chip cookies and I didn't get a picture.

Maggie

I thought I would post an updated picture of how big Maggie is getting. She even posed for this picture! I still sometimes cannot believe that I have a dog in my house. Here's the proof! She is 3 months old now, not sure how much she weighs yet. She is getting better about sleeping in and she knows how to sit and "get out"! I'm sure there are more adventures to come.

Craft Tuesday #2

Our second Craft Tuesday was on Flag Day so in honor of the flag we did this Patriotic craft from FamilyFun.com. We added our own "bling" and put some glitter on! We are going to use these as decoration for the 4th of July too.

Training Wheels or Not?

Abby is trying to learn to ride her bike without training wheels and she is very apprehensive about this. Her sisters want if for her more than she does I think. We've tried it on the grass and on the street but so far it's just practice! We'll keep trying though.
