It's been too long!

Well life has got away from me and I haven't kept up with this blog at all. SO my goal is to start posting again, maybe even more than once a month. I am just going to give a little recap of the past few months. Really just so I can remember later on.
April my Sister Stephanie added another boy to her family, his name is Levi and he is PRECIOUSNESS he is a perfect addition to their adorable family. 
May was a busy month. We celebrated my Mom's birthday at my house this year. Steph and I created a Mary Engelbreit themed brunch tea party. We decorated in a whimsical, ME style with red and yellow, polkadots, and ME sayings popping up in different areas  throughout the decorations. We served tea, juice, a delicious breakfast casserole, oven baked french toast, fruit, and muffins. I bought a bunch of bird houses for everyone to paint and take home for the make and take. It was lots of fun with lots of memories.
Then On May 8th we celebrated Mothers Day, Dereck and Zach grilled steaks and had all the fixings for a wonderful meal that the ladies didn't prepare or clean up after. This was my 2nd Mothers Day. I am so thankful for my two daughters who have made me a mommy.
On May 9th Miss Jessie Ann celebrated her 2nd birthday, we had some cupcakes at daycare then we got Pizza because thats what she requested we eat.  Then we took the girls to the park then to get ice cream.
On the 15th we had a 2nd Birthday Barnyard Bash for Carson and Jessie at the park, we had lots of fun planning a joint party complete with fun activities like wagon rides, games, and a craft. Stephanie made some adorable animal cupcakes, and we had a good ole time.
The next weekend Dereck and I went to Tulsa for a Weekend to Remember Marriage Conference. We had an amazing time and learned so much. We came home refreshed. While we were there Dac and Alisha babysat the girls and they all seemed to have a really great time. I am so thankful  for them!Jasmine, my Mom, Zander and I headed to topeka for a very short visit on Natalies 5th Birthday. It was so fun visiting with my sister even if it was short. Natalie had a surfer girl party and it was a blast Adrianne is amazing!
And here we are already in June. We celebrated our anniversary on June 5th, we have been married for 7 years now! Hasn't always been easy but I wouldn't pick anyone else to have gone through everything with. We painted our house the 2nd weekend in June and had the help of some really great people, all we have left is the trim. I have a small amount of kids in my daycare this summer and I am so happy about it. I am really enjoying my girls and trying to do more fun things with them. We went to the lake last Friday evening and had a picnic, and then let the girls play on the beach in the sand and also in the water. They had a blast and Jazzy has been talking about it non stop. Then on Saturday we went to Ponca and the girls got to spend the day with their Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Zach and cousins, they got to go to the lake again with them...lucky little girls:-) We went to a wedding that night. So there we have it, the past few months recapped. I am sure there was so much  more I could of added but I can't rememeber everything! My goal is to post pics very very soon. Hope you are enjoying your summers!
