So here is what we have been doing for the last little while.
Ryan turned 32 on May 22! We celebrated at home with the girlies, and Ryan and I went and saw Narnia and Indiana Jones... yes we love movies. Haylee helped with his cake and loves to plan surprises! (she is holding her card made just for Daddy!)
Holly, my sister in law, graduated from WESTWOOD! Go warriors. Despite the cold, wet, and raining weather she looked beautiful. We had a little party at the Bingham's house after they got back from graduation (it was held indoors). Notice the long sleeves, yes it was cold... in May. Crazy. We made a little graduation hat cake and a little 'Holly Doll' for the top.
We were going to go to the cabin for memorial day, but it ended up snowing in Pine Top and we decided we would rather enjoy the AMAZING weather and hang out at home. So we went to Tempe Town Beach Park and rode our new Father's and Mother's Day bikes. The girls love to ride in the trailer and we go on bike rides every night. We played at the water park a little bit too. Then off to IN and OUT for lunch and home for naps. What a great memorial day!
For family night a week ago we rode our bikes to Biglers and crashed their swimming pool, then home. We went in the back yard and found that our peaches and apples were ripe and ready to eat. Some branches of the peach tree were even snapped because it was too heavy. We have NEVER had this much yummy fruit but this year we actually fertilized and babied our trees and it is amazing how they reacted to a little TLC. So we spent the evening eating and picking fruit. The girls each had a peach and apple in their hands and when they were done, they picked and ate some more. It was so much fun. Now we have a counter full of peaches. I just finished making jam out of all but about 20! Now I am done with peaches again until next year! Yeah for fresh fruit.
Kim and Jennifer came over with their babies... so fun to see you girls.
Best part of summer, playing in the water on the tramp. Here is Ryan and the girlies just warming in the sun. They love the water in any form (swimming pool, hose, sprinkler etc.)
Two nights ago I went to check on Addilyn. She hates to go to sleep and puts up a pretty good fuss every time (naps and bedtime). Though she always falls asleep, she still doesn't like it. I tucked her in and put the blanket on her. When I found her, her dolls looked like this, and she was on the other side of the crib with no blanket. It was so funny to see how she had set up her dolls in her distress. Funny stuff!

Yeah for fresh fruit! And for your little fruit bats! What a cute photo! I love the new bikes too! You guys will have a blast with those! Cute cakes too! How did you make the little doll on top of the hat? Very clever!
Allison-
nice list.
1. What you don't like bright royal blue icing... I mixed the color myself.
2. I opened some of the jam and I think it did not set well. Something is wrong, the consistency is a little off, but it still tastes yummy so yes, I need to bring some to you. I didn't know you loved peaches so. I am sorry.
3.As if you are not!
4. Thanks for your photography lessons!
5. We need to get together soon because I will be gone off and on for the last week in June and first week and a half in July.
6. If I was actually as far along as I thought, I would already know what my little bean's gender is, but seeing as I am only 13 weeks and I have to be at least 16 it will not be until my next appointment on July 28 (or something around that date). Disappointing I know, just forget that I am prego for a couple of more months. Typically no one would know until about now.... AGGGGHHH the frustration. Yes I know you are laughing at me right now Jennifer, but still it isn't fair! So that is your very long winded answers to your punch list questions! Call me sometime!
Liz, I made her out of fondant, and some toothpicks, but she hardens pretty quick, so I only had to use one toothpick to keep her balanced!
It was really fun to do and not too hard.
Looks like you guys are having a blast! Those pictures of the girls and the fruit are so cute.
Funny my daughter doesn't like to go to bed either. But Addilyn is so adorable with her dolls like that..
Hope all is well!
happy bday ryan! that cake is great! tons of cute pics... seriously! oh and congrats on the prego-ness!!!
ju ju-where are you? if you don't get to posting soon you'll have to do another catch up...
