Squint....

Do ya think the sun was too bright? LOL.

Madeline Turns 6!

Oh my gooseness, how time flies. Today, my baby girl Madeline turned 6 years old! That's crazy!!! Here are a few pictures of her opening her presents this morning.

A Barbie, A Pillow Pet, A Tinkerbell Bed Set, and A New Bike. I think this girl is set for a while! She got everything she wanted. (Read spoiled) Lucky duck!!!!

Then, as if she didn't get enough already, we took her to Chuck E Cheese, like she requests for her birthday every year. Here are some pictures of that.

Happy Birthday my big 6 year old!

Hot Time Summer in the City

On The Menu Tonight

A hot summer day needed a cool summer treat. YUMMY!!!

(A special thank you to my mom for the wonderful ice cream bowls!)

Ketter's Annual 4th of July Party 2010

Once again, we hosted our annual 4th of July Party. Once again, we had an amazing time with our friends who have become our "extended family." Below are some highlights of the day.

Of course, we did the piñata again.

It is always a hit with the kids!

I manned the grill all day. I barbecued 2 tri-tips, pork, chicken and beef kabobs (about 100 total), hotdogs, and chicken. It was delicious and wonderful, if I do say so myself!

And after the sun set, we had our wonderful fireworks display.

It was an awesome end to an even awesomer day!

(Yeah, I like to make up my own words.)

Monday at Blueberry Park

It was a nice day, so we took the kids to the park. I made us a picnic for lunch to take with. We felt up to a little baseball so we also took our bat and gloves. I love summer fun!

Summertime Is Here.....Finally!

And my, what a long wait it has been. We were all definitely wanting and needing the beautiful sunshine to arrive. (See our untanned legs in the picture above....) But, it is here now, so lets have some fun!!! Here's a few pictures we took today while enjoying the sun here at home, then later at Jamie's BBQ out on Lake Tahuyeh.

Sydney looking so beautiful in the natural sunlight.

My little white girls need some sun too!

Andy playing washers out on Lake Tahuyeh.

Patrick aka "The Crazy Uncle" and Madeline.

Oh my goodness, Madeline loved the boat.

She actually even got to drive it!

She wanted us to pose for a picture together.

And she wanted a picture of her and daddy too!

YAY for Summer Fun!!!!
