Boondocks & Family Time

In June, my parents came to visit from Oregon. We had a great time going to Boondocks as a family and spending time together. Here are a few pics of the festivities...

A little late...but you get the idea

This is the grand finale of our 4th of July. The girls both fell sound asleep in the middle of the fireworks.


We had a great time waiting for the fireworks to start and by then the girls were exhausted. Their falling asleep left Evan and I in a bit of a mess. We had parked a ways away with the plan for a quick get away after the show. Little did we know that the girls would fall asleep and were impossible to wake up. We had all sorts of blankets and coolers and chairs with us as well so we had to get creative in how to get out of there. First we tried to carry everything and everyone. Evan had all of our supplies and Saige and I attempted to carry Rylie and the baby (of course.) I made it to the parking lot and with my blistered, swollen feet could not physically carry her any further. We laid out the blanket and wrapped up the girls on the side of the parking lot and I waited with them while Evan carried all of our stuff to the car and then ran back to get the girls and I. He couldn't drive into the parking lot because it was all blocked with people getting out so he had to come back and carry both girls while I waddled along behind them to the car. It ended up taking us an hour or more to get out of there and of course the girls woke up when we got into the car. It was a fun and eventful 4th of July.

Happy 4th of July

Names! Names? Names????

I'm afraid I've started some trend that might get me in trouble. You see, each time there is a need for a name in our family, I have been the one to think of it. For example, I name Rylie, Saige, Evan's business (E2interactive), My business (Shear Serenity), and our dog (Bella.) Now it is time to think of a name for our next beautiful little girl and I am at a loss. I have had a few ideas but none of them seem to fit. I've asked Ev to think of names but he hasn't had any ideas. I think its like doing a man's laundry, once you start doing it...they suddenly lose all ability to do it themselves :). So, here I am, feeling anxious because I don't know her name and I'm stuck. I can't decorate her room without knowing her name. I know it sounds dumb but its true. So, here are some of my ideas...

Dylann __________

Jayden __________

Addison _________

Adyson __________

Bailey ____________

As you can see, I'm also at a loss for middle names!

With Daddy away the girls will play!

Daddy is camping this weekend so we decided to have a girls night. We started off with making our own little pizzas. The girls were excited to chose their own toppings and make them all by themselves.




After pizza we got in the bath and then had popcorn while watching a movie.

The most beautiful girls in the world...
