A weekend to remember...

It seems as if we like to cram as much as we can into our schedule?! So to follow suit, we squeezed 6 wonderful things in an extended weekend. It was so worth it and a good time was had by all!

First stop!

Breck and Ataly's birthdays are 4 days apart so we left a day early so we could celebrate together ON Breck's birthday.

There's nothing better than being in Nonnie's arms.

Breck's friends celebrating the birthday boy!

Birthday kiddos!

The cake toppers that I spent way too much time on but liked how they turned out...

so was it worth it?

fingers or fork?

fork.

Auntie Cori and Ataly

I'm blessed to have this sweet and silly little girl to celebrate!

Thanks P family for the "add a pearl" necklace...what a treasured gift!

Oshkosh Gymnastics Center

The kids and I joined Breck and his friends at the Oshkosh Gymnastics Center for his birthday celebration...such a fun place to burn lots of energy!

Are you getting this on camera mom? Am I strong or what?

Traeger's favorite was the slide that went underground and the ladder as the exit.

Sleepover at Grandpa and Nana's house!

As I was unpacking the kid's luggage for their sleepover at Nana and Grandpa Tim's, Ataly made herself right at home, climbing into the crib to greet Tiger. Thanks Nana and Grandpa for loving on the kids so I could get away for the Breakaway Conference, while Luke worked.

Breakaway 2010

I was blessed, once again, to attend the Breakaway Conference with these two amazing friends. More pictures and details to come....

Celebrating Laura!

After the conference and Luke's senior high lock in, we met up with the fam to surprise Laura and celebrate her 50th birthday!

Happy 2nd Birthday Ataly!

The kids and I traveled home from Cedar Grove on Ataly's birthday. So the big deal ON her birthday was that Jimmy and Taylor came over to help us sing "Happy Birthday" (and of course she loved all the presents she got to open too). And a special thanks to everyone else who thought of Ataly and blessed her with sweet gifts. It means the world to us that you pour love into our kid's lives!

She loved everything and was full of smiles!

Thanks guys for coming over to celebrate the birthday girl ON her big day.

Ataly Raen...you are so worth celebrating!

We love your smiles, giggles, girly ways (including screaming), and the joy you bring to our home. You are a special gift from God and we praise Him for you. Our desire is to love you more each day and trust God to give us the wisdom and knowledge to lead us to meet your needs and love you in ways that speak to your heart. We love learning new things about you each day and look forward to what God has in store for your 3nd year of life!

The fun, busy, and blessed weekend came to an end all too quickly...lots of memories were made. We're also so thankful for the answers to several prayers for the hundreds of miles of safe travel and health!
