really need to blog

but sometimes i am just thinking about THIS.  

promise to put something up this week!

not my baby

but i love her anyway!

lots of swings at the cupcake...

and then, candy everywhere!

she's a doll baby!

cute big brother, cru.

 happy 1st birthday emry!

the parkers throw great parties for the kids and parents!! thanks for the fun! 

We DID IT!

this year's trip to the Puyallup Fair was a bit crazy! not only did we choose to go on the last Saturday but also, the only sunny and hot day! i have never seen it so crowded.  ever.  i'm not kidding, there were some barns you couldn't even get into!  and don't even ask about the lines for rides and food.  (let's not talk about the 50 person line up for scones!)

also, brandon had been sick all week and wasn't feeling up to going, so it was just me, isla and macrae.  

but we made sure to get our krusty pups, scones, and ice cream as well as hit a few rides and see the sheep and cows.  

macrae loved this one!

macrae had high hopes for this one but i think he was a little confused about riding backwards in order to use the guns

always a favorite, it's like chuck e cheese in a box.  

this was the best ride of the day! 

  

Macrae's Party Party

i'm in love with baby emry...see why?

she's adorable! oh, those eyes! 

we had to let Cru take a turn at the candle.

oh man, the chocolate face!

macrae got a baseball T from his dad...even rhettsy had to try it out.

isla made him this special birthday crown and wrapped her own gift to him (which was one of her ken barbie dolls!)

da boy.

my very best.

there are a million reasons

that my life is full
