Little Gems...It's the small things that matter!

My Colorado Kids 

came for a visit!

Tegan, Kelley and Layla flew in,

and Danny drove with his pups!

What a few weeks we have had!

My sweet baby gems, Mya and Layla got to spend some time

playing together!  Layla kept calling Mya "CAYDEN" and no matter

how many times we corrected her...

Layla Lynn

Growing before my eyes, this little GEM is almost 3~

She is vivacious, witty, and oh so fun to be around!

She is a singer, like Meme and still loves her princesses!

Mya Brynn

This little GEM will be 3 August 17th and could not be any sweeter.

Mya is a smart one.  She is shy at first but will soon warm up to new faces!

She is clever, sensitive and oh so sweet!

Mya enjoys playing with her babies!

Two peas in a pod, 

These two keep things lively...

Such a funny girl~

Layla will tell you...

"It's CRAZY"

Precious Princesses

Mya loved having Layla around!

She loved to "mother" her...since she 

is so BIG!!

Can you just imagine the fun we had watching these two?

NEVER A DULL MOMENT!

IT IS THE SMALLEST THINGS THAT CAN MAKE YOU

THE HAPPIEST!

Hold your place in time~

Sarah Rose...

Will you stop

and hold your place in time?

I am enjoying 7 and 3/4,

and I think you are too!

You will be 8 soon~

I can only imagine the year ahead!

I hope you keep this smile all year long!

I love you Miss Rosie~

Don't you ever forget it!

A FOND FAREWELL...and We catch the Fever!

Beckie and Vanessa have Molly Hayes over for 

a farewell lunch and swim~  Molly had her neice Lucy, 

and nephews George and Xavier!  Sarah, Molly, Ainsley, and

Ethan enjoyed making new friends!

Molly is off on new adventures and we wish her

the very best!  See you in Costa Rica Molly Dolly!

Guess where we are off to?

On Saturday, the 13th, Beckie Bridget and I went to the 

airport and picked up Tegan, Kelley and Layla~

After quick hello's and kisses, we took Kelley with us and

sent Tegan home with Layla!

Us girls were ready to see Justin Beiber~

A friend had been trying to "give away" tickets to the concert~

the company's court side loge, no less, so I said YES!

We BELEIVE...

well, not really but we were happy to be together~

The little girls in the crowd were screaming and

I think my big girls got caught up in the frenzy too!

Kelley had spent the night before in Denver with her best

friend Chelsea, who painted her nails with 

I 

Heart

B

Look how close we were!

Two little girls in front of our loge told my

girls that

 "Justin wasn't interested in girls your age...

he prefers younger girls"!!!

They tried to trick us with trivia questions to see

who knew more about Justin... 

They won~

But my girls still had a blast!

It was a fun night~

after all, girls just want to have fun!

Meanwhile, 

back at my house, Dave and Tegan where watching

My girls...

So fun at the Wards!

On Friday we headed to downtown Cleveland

for a Cyle Tour~  Brendan, Kelly, Dave, Sue, Steve, Laura,

Gary, Kathy, Meigan, Dennis, Dave and I set out to

visit some bars in Cleveland!

Steve and Laura getting ready to peddle their way

around Cleveland!

We had to wave and smile for many camera's, as people had never

seen anything like this bike before!!

First stop...

We were feeling whipped from peddling so hard!~

Stops like this one...

kept us all well hydrated for the long ride!

Some were more thirsty than others...

Just saying!

SEE???

Another stop...

and yet another...

THE GIRLS...

THE GUYS!

Dave and I had so much fun!

After the bike bar ride, we headed to the Jake...

I WILL ALWAYS CALL IT THE JAKE!

to see the Indians take on the Detroit Tigers~

We had great seats, thanks again Dennis and Meigan,

right behind home plate!

It was a beautiful night in Cleveland!

The Tribe lost

but we had the best time

and the FIREWORKS were incredible! 

We loved having Steve and Laura stay with us and we

loved our ALL WARD ALL WEEKEND adventure!
