Birthday girl

It's hard to believe, but Samantha turned 7 this month. She wanted to celebrate her birthday by getting her ears pierced!

Then we took a friend to Build-a-Bear Workshop, and they each got an animal. They loved it! It was a fun Teddy Bear Birthday!

More summer fun

4th of July Pancake breakfast and mini-parade at church:

Samantha learned how to ride without training wheels! Notice how big she is on her cute little bike:

Camping

We had such a fun week camping at Jellystone Park.

Some people were very excited to sleep on the top bunk:

Danielle finally overcame her fears of large costumed characters!

And Luray Caverns was a fun way to end the week:



Last day of school

 The girls headed off for their last day of school:

Rebekah had a great teacher this year - she was very attached, so she came home in tears:

Cruising

To celebrate 10 wonderful years of marriage (can you believe it), we went on a cruise to the Bahamas - Nassau, Cococay, and Key West. I've always wanted to go on a cruise, and it didn't disappoint. It was the best! We were thoroughly relaxed by week's end!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our 9-year-old

For Rebekah's birthday, she had some friends over and for spa treatments and lots of girly fun!

Spring beauties

Trying to catch up on some pictures from the spring.

My lovely ladies on Easter morning:

Rebekah ran her first 5K race! During the race she said she was going to die, but after she made it to the finish she was talking about doing it again sometime.
