Samantha's 7th Birthday!

Grandma and Grandpa gave her a Barbi nail design printer which worked freakishly well!
Even I did my nails!

Grammy gave Samantha a Gramps ring (my grandpa made jewelry which we love and treasure). We are going to take very good care of it!

Cheesing it ready for dinner and a movie!

Sleepy birthday girl.

This was her big gift from mom and dad - an art desk with supplies. She has loved it!! And, the desk was mine when I was a kid, so it's ANCIENT!

Playing after lunch on Saturday with the cousins.

I think Samantha had a great birthday! We love you Mantha-Moo!!

Grammy and Samantha's Family Birthday Party

Abby's "surprise" face. My most favorite!

It wouldn't be a birthday party without some tears!

I love you Abby!!

Hangin' in the shade.

The kids playing Kick the Can.

I'm sure Grammy was ultra pleased to have a Hello Kitty red velvet cake.

Caleb played basketball by himself for a hour.

Lemonade Stand

I'm pretty sure this cute little girl and her sign made everyone stop. Plus, Alex went knocking door-to-door telling all the neighbors about our lemonade stand! It was a hit! Lots of fun and we made $31!

4th of July

So many fun things to do in Kami's backyard!!

BAZINGA!

My favorite picture of the day! I baked 500 cookies for a wedding and Andy was helping me take photos. He's a creeper!

A few family pictures in Hawaii

After a day at the beach and some Shave Ice.

Squished in a submarine.

Please don't let these sweaty people steer the submarine!!

After a lovely breakfast at a lovely hotel.

Neighbor Playdate

Before Hawaii the kids had a play date with the neighbor kids. The older girls decided that they wanted to make cupcakes and decorate them. Whatever keeps them happy!!
