Dance Dance Dance

Back to dance we go!! With all of our travels in May and June Morgan had to miss out on her recital this year. On Friday she came to me and said she was ready to go back to dance. So...Saturday morning we headed back!! Now....Morgan is in a phase where everything is, "I can do it myself!" So why not I said when she came to me and said she wanted to dress herself for dance...

Homemade Ravioli's....

Shawn and I have been spiking our interest in foods as of late. The other night we decided to make homemade ravioli's from scratch...that meant homemade noodles, filling, and sauces. YIKES!!! What a mess...but the taste was worth it ALL!!

We made the noodles, then I started on the 3 cheese filling. Next was the sauce. I made Tomato and Alfredo Sauce. NEVER again will I but Alfredo sauce...homemade is the BEST!!! Heavy cream, butter, spices and Parmesan cheese is all I used! This meal was a HIT for our family!

A new "Pack Pack"

A new "Pack Pack" for Preschool!!

Morgan is so excited to start preschool in the Fall. Ever since we toured the school and got her registered that is all she talks about, along with needing a new "Pack Pack"! Well we found the one she wanted...it is perfect size and she was SO happy it had Princesses on it!! (I am pretty sure reality will hit her once I just drop her off and leave...then she may not be as excited!)

Movie Fun Friday's

Well we are at the point in Morgan's life where she has started saying, "I can do it ALL by myself!"

So sometimes I just go with it and let her do it "ALL by herself!"

Like picking out her attire for our movie's on Friday's with our friends!

Today involved this "fancy" dress, with black bloomers because I had on a black shirt, her "sparkly" shoes, and her Sleeping Beauty Crown...I tried to escape the crown...but she FREAKED out when we walked into the living room without it!! Soooo away we went, to the movies, CROWN and all!!

Birthday Celebration!!

After a week of vacation I came to enjoy a great night out with some fab women to celebrate a friends birthday!

Celebrating Michele's Birthday (sitting front and center)

Such a fun night a even though we were out having fun...it was rather relaxing! I LOVE being a stay-at-home mommy...but we all need some grown-up time!

San Diego (part 1)

Two trips in 3 weeks is rather exhausting!! I am ready for a vacation from my vacation!!

We headed to San Diego to celebrate my 31st birthday this year. Shawn and Zach had to stay back because Zach has summer school...boo!!

This is where we stayed...a cute little Campland Resort on the Bay. This is our second year...and many more to come!

Playing on the beach with Grandpa...the water was super cold!!

What a great trip we had. Now to plan for a few parties in July and another trip in August. WOW...what a busy summer we are having!!

Baptizism

Over the past few years I have been wanting to get baptized again. Our church does it every month at the church, but for whatever reason that is not how or where I wanted to do it. Last week while sitting at church our Pastor had stated something which made me come up with the idea to do it at my home, with my family and friends for my birthday this year! What a great way to remember this amazing day!! I am so happy the people who mean the most to me were able to join me as I, again, committed my life to the Lord. Thank you amazing family and friends!
