July 2011

This past summer we got passes to Seven Peaks and had a blast going as often as we could.

Nicole turned 3 years old this month and we gave her a tricycle for her birthday!

Grandma and Grandpa Hacking gave her this doll crib...

...and this Aurora baby

We celebrated at Chuck E Cheese

Nicole requested for many months prior that I make her an Aurora cake for her birthday and when we asked what toy she wanted for her birthday she replied she only wanted an Aurora cake!

Nicole also had another birthday dinner with Grandpa Whitaker, Aunt Diana, and Uncle Brandon at our home

Grandpa gave her a kitty

The girls had so much fun dancing to music

Nicole practiced her gymnastics

We ate more cake and I love this picture because Nicole is pointing to Daddy, calling him something like "pizza head"-- inside family joke

Aunt Diana and Uncle Brandon gave Nicole ballet slippers

Here are the girls playing dress up and finding amusement in a box- love how the simple things make them happy :)

We went to the American Lending Network's (another place Will works) Summer party

My hotty hubby wore this tux as a best man for one his best friend's wedding-- Kathan Blair

Tyler's first tooth!! It started to barely show in the middle of June and here it is all the way through.

Just had to get these pictures of my baby on the Fourth of July. Will hurt is back badly, so we didn't celebrate but at least I got to play with my cute kids at home. The story with Will: I found him moaning in the garage on the floor after he pulled his back out from lifting an over-sized Christmas box. Poor guy couldn't move for 30 minutes and was in bed for many days.
