Cahill's 8th Birthday Party

We had so much fun celebrating Cahill's 8th Birthday this year. She chose horses as her theme and begged to make her own cake. She made the whole cake herself with a little help with the grass frosting. She was so proud and showed everyone the cake before anything. For fun and games we learned a line dance and played charades.The girls had so much fun playing games I had to remind them we needed to eat cake and open presents. After the party Kurt and grandpa took everyone to the beach to swim.

Stimpson Vacation 2016

This summer again we were blessed with a vacation with the entire Stimpson family. We spent a week together in June in a beautiful house. As always we ate a ton of good food and spent a lot of time in the water. We did a crazy hard puzzle that everyone participated in. (I can not believe we did not take a picture of it completed)

Spring Recital 2016

The girls spent all school year working on a ballet dance. I was so proud of them at the recital as it was obvious they had worked so hard practicing. I love watching them dance around the house and create dances together and beg me to sit and watch dance after dance after dance. (it is so cool to be a mom of girls!!) 

Back to School Pics

Party it is time to start a new year of school!!! Rock on.. Okay maybe not but here are the pictures to kick off another year of school. Ashy will be starting her Kindergarden program (slowly) and doing Five in a Row. Cahill my dear is starting 2nd grade. (what!!??) Praying for a peaceful and incredible school year...I am super excited to say that Cahill read her very first chapter book this past month and has been very dedicated to reading it. Both girls are taking ballet at the co-op. Ashy is taking gym and a party themed Kindergarden. Cahill is taking two gym classes, elementary biology and a polymer art class. We are still doing the Awana program and this will be Cahill's 5th year and she is excited to graduate out of Sparks.

Justin's House

After the Helm's house we headed north to Uncle Justin's. Justin has a incredible beautiful pool in the back of his gorgeous house in Annapolis. The girls and I spent so much time in that pool we may still be water logged. We had so much fun at his house, playing with Sarah, loving Myla (the best dog in the world) and of course Uncle Justin. It was so nice to have Justin just to ourselves. Sarah even watched the girls so Justin and I could have a evening to go out to dinner and just talk about life. My only regret is that we did not have more time with him. Ashy has been begging to go back to his house. (she asked if we could have her Birthday party there) I see visiting again in the future but next time we may be flying. :)
