Alaskan Adventures...

Reece, Avery, and I enjoyed a beautiful 2 weeks in Alaska to visit my family. Our time was packed with climbing aboard the Alaskan railroad on a sight-seeing tour from Anchorage to Seward, a day at the zoo visiting all the Alaskan animals, a fun-filled day at the fair, exploring the Sea Life Center, lots of playdates with the cousins, and of coarse a day fishing on the Kenai River. We saw lots of wildlife too...moose, eagles, and bears oh my!! The kids loved all the animals. Thank you to my fam for showing us such a great time. Here are a few pics of the trip. I will post more pictures on facebook too! Enjoy :)

Avery's 2nd birthday!

We celebrated Avery's 2nd birthday with a small group of friends and neighbors. All the kids enjoyed Kelly's homemade chocolate cupcakes. It was a great evening of cupcakes, candles, and presents. What more could a girl ask for?

Happy birthday sweet girl...we love you!!!

She loved her balloons!!!

Yummy cake daddy....more pease is all she kept saying!

Mamma green-thumb...

I hate to brag but I am in love with my pots this year and had to show them off!!! My girlfriend calls me "mamma green-thumb"!! Which I am not...but I have learned you can grow anything in the South thanks to heat, humidity, and a little help from my buddy called miracle grow. Enjoy the flower pics!

Best Buddies....

The kids & I headed to Greenville to visit the Dombrowski crew and spend 4th of July with their family. We had so much fun playing in the sun! It was a beautiful day, not to humid for the Carolinas at all so we stayed outside pretty much all day. Staci and I took the boys and Avery to their pool for a few hours to splash around and watch them squirt each other in the face with water guns. Then it was to the backyard to play on the slip-n-slide, get a quick sword flight in, BBQ, cocktails, and get ready for Jeff's big evening firework display. Here are a few snapshots of our FUN filled 4th!! Thanks again D family for an AMAZING time!! We love u guys!!
