Family Pictures 2013

 I wanted to have our family pictures taken before the new baby comes, to document our life with only two kids. I think they turned out awesome!! Camry loves to pose for the camera as you can see from these pictures, and it was near impossible to get Abigail to hold still! I am so grateful for our little family and can't wait for what the future holds for us.

 We struggled to get Camry to leave Abigail alone for her individual pictures, I think it's cute though :)



I haven't posted forever!!

 Well since I haven't written forever, I'll start with an update on the kiddos! Camry is now 4 years old and Abigail is 18 months. They are little crazies and love playing together most of the time. Above they are having a tea party.

 Sometimes they like to sleep together, which stresses me out because Camry puts every stuffed animal, blanket and pillow in the crib with them. But it is sweet when you find them this way. I think we will soon invest in a twin bed with a trundle so they can sleep close to each other but still have some space in their bedroom.

I think it's crazy how a 18 month old already wants to dress up like a princess. When I put it on her the first thing she did was spin in a circle. Cute girl. Well as you can see the kids are doing awesome,  Ian is super busy right now with work and his calling and I'm just enjoying hanging out with my girlies!

A busy week!

 Ian's Parents celebrated there 50th Anniversary this month. We had a party for them at the Bluebird last weekend. All of Ian's siblings came into town, it was neat to have all of the family together. This hasn't happened in four years so it was a little crazy trying to catch up, but fun!

 Camry and her cousins Livy, Grace, and Eva.

This weekend we celebrated Abigail's 1st Birthday with and owl themed party!!

 The yummy cake! We served this with Orange Julius made with almond milk, since our girlies are allergic to milk, they turned out super good!

 You don't know how excited I was to hold a birthday in our backyard. It meant my house would stay clean and we wouldn't feel overcrowded in the front room:)

 The Birthday Girl with Daddy and Mommy.

 We had a pull string pinata, which I thought would be good for the little kids, it just wasn't as exciting as hitting it with a stick. Keep this in mind if you'll be purchasing one anytime soon. The kids were really timid at pulling the strings so the bottom barely broke open.

 Abigail opening her presents. She was way too spoiled, thanks everybody for all the fun gifts!

 CakeTime!! She doesn't look too happy in these pictures, but she really did enjoy the cake.

Our little Fam. It was a fun day, thanks for being such a cute and sweet baby we love you Abigail!

Abigail

My Abigail is turning one this month, here are some of her pictures I had taken for her birthday!! She is such a special beautiful girl and I am so glad I can call her mine.

Father's Day and Cherry Hill!

 Happy Father's Day!! Ian is such a good dad and our family is very lucky to have him:)

 This past weekend we were able to go to Cherry Hill for the weekend with my brother Pete. We had a ton of fun camping out, playing in the play area, doing mini golf and of course swimming!! Here's a pic of Ian setting up our tent.

 Above are pictures of Abigail and Camry at the play place called Hamster Haven, Camry had fun pretending she was a Hamster:)

 We enjoyed a game of mini golf. I didn't know how Camry would like this since it's more of an older kids game, but she had a blast trying to get her ball through all the castles and things. Ian an Abigail were good sports since we forgot the stroller she had to be packed around in the carrier:)

 Swimming in the Pirates Cove! Camry could not wait to swim all morning she kept asking "Can we go yet?" Turns out Abigail is a little fish as well, she loves splashing in the water. We did the water slides too, but didn't get any pictures. Camry loved the double dragon slides, and Ian and I had a fun time riding them with her.

 Camry all worn out from the weekends events!!

A picture of our camp site. Thanks Uncle Pete for going with us to play and  help with the kids, I couldn't ask for a better brother!!
