Happy Birthday Matthew and Happy Father's Day Rick!

My baby turned two!! I can't believe it's been two years since our little miracle Matthew came into our lives! He is such a sweet and loving little boy, he brings so much joy into our lives! Everyday is an exciting adventure with Matthew, he is learning so much everyday and it's fun to see him discover new things! He is such a joy and we love him so much!

On Saturday we celebrated Matthew's birthday at my parents house. We had a swim party, and as you can see it was a Cars themed party. Cars is Matthew's favorite movie and he loves Lightning McQueen! We had so much fun spending the day with family and friends and we are so grateful to all those who were able to attend! At the party we swam, ate lunch, had cake, opened presents, and swam some more! Matthew had a blast! He was pretty much happy all day long, and he didn't even get a nap!





This year for Matthew's birthday Rick and I decided to get Matthew a puppy. I'm still trying to figure out if this was a good idea or not. For the most part they get along pretty well, but they do have there moments. And they seem to get into a bit of mischief together, like un potting all my flowers and trying to destroy the blinds on the sliding doors. However, I think that as they both grow they will be best friends!


We were so fortunate that Rick had Matthew's birthday and Father's Day off! We started father's day out by going to church. After church we had a Father's Day BBQ at the Taylor's house with the Taylor's, my parents and sister and the missionaries. We had wonderful food and played fun games! For father's day we got Rick the new season of a TV show that he likes, and tomorrow Rick leaves to go surfing with some of his friends! Happy Father's Day sweetie hope it was a good one!



I didn't take any pictures on father's day unfortunately, but I found this picture. Rick was showing Matthew how to smell the flowers. He is such a wonderful Husband and Father! We love and appreciate you so much Rick. Hope you have a good and safe time surfing!!

Mother's Day and Getting the Pool Ready for Summer!

I had an enjoyable Mother's Day this year! Rick came home from work that morning and surprised me with a beautiful arrangement of flowers. I also got a new maternity bathing suit and a cute cover up to go with it! After rick got home we all got ready and went to church. Matthew made a cute bouquet of flowers for me in nursery! (They are the yellow ones in the second picture.) After church we went over to my parents house for lunch with my Parents, Sister and Grandmother. All in all it was a pretty good day!



This past week my parents have been getting their pool ready for summer, and Matthew's up coming birthday party!!! They scrubbed and cleaned in and then Rick helped my parents paint it, it looks so good now! Last night it was finally ready to start filling it up with water! Matthew, Merrie and my Dad enjoyed sliding into the bottom while it was filling!
Well that's it for now, Matthew's birthday is in a little over a week so I will have plenty to blog about soon! :)
