These were our celebrations of the 4th. We all had a wonderful time swiming, splashing, socializing, laughing, canoeing, fishing, creating our very own fireworks show, eating, and then laughing some more!
Little Owen celebrated his first birthday with a giant pinata that Joni's sister made for him. Once he figured out that we all wanted him to hit it with his little stick, he looked at us all as if we were a bit ridiculous, but it didn't take him long to think hitting the pinata made for a riotous event. After all the candy was gone, this is the only little sweet that Madeline ended up with. She didn't really care, though. She just thought everyone was acting a bit preposterous.
Just a random picture of us miniature golfing with Tyler and Makena. Fun times!
More birthday fun! We went to Rachel's house to celebrate her 10th birthday!
I made these Tutus for Madeline and she is crazy about them. This photo session was such a cinch and at the same time completely delightful and entertaining. Madeline was adorable, acting as if she were Little Miss Prima Ballerina.
