Bird's Nest & Tanner's Engagement

 We had little birds in our lamp on our porch that we liked to watch and occasionally feed a cracker. We accidentally scared them on their way to adulthood by helping them take flight for the first time... including one of them flying into our house. Hopefully the other ones survived as they flew out onto the lawn- we did see a hawk the next day sitting on the fence by our house. The picture of the table is a project Chad and I just finished so our kids can have a nicer table. :-) Also... TANNER GOT ENGAGED! Rachel and Tanner are planning on getting married the beginning of August and we are super excited for them! Hooray for new sister in laws and aunts! Welcome to the Fam Rachel!

DisneyLand aDVENTURE too

We had the opportunity to go to Disneyland and CA Adventure with my family. I of course took the least amount of pictures of everyone and prolly the worst, but hey here are some. Laine was in amazement the whole time as he saw his favorite characters come to life in rides and costume and then his favorite... Parades! I Love Disneyland and am glad we got to go! I just love my family and it was SOOO Much Fun to be with ALL of them (hooray for Tanner coming home)! We got to stay at "Belle's Castle" while we were there. The house had a pool so when we had some down time between parks and eating and fun we swam and played some more :-) It was a quick trip for us since Chad had to miss school, but so worth it! We Love you Family! THanks!
