Birthday-palooza

Josie turned 5 and what's a girl to do? Celebrate with 3 separate parties, that's what!

It began at daycare and cards and cupcakes

Then the festivities moved to the lake for a party with family and lake friends

The celebrations ended with a Pirate Party blowout on her actual birthday

A big thank you to everyone who made Josie's birthday so special!

Happy 5th Birthday Josephine!

Josie,

You are my sun, and my moon, and my stars. You are my everything.

Love,

Mom

Corn and candy- not to be confused with candy corn

Plainview Corn on the Cob Days parade and corn eating

Trying to stay dry



We love corn!

Josie and Barrett

Assuming the candy grabbing position

Jackpot!

Taking a break during the tractors (because they don't throw candy)

Blue tongue!

Green tongue!

Stick figure rules and regulations

Figures 1,2, and 3

Please note: Figure 1 is me. Figure 2 is Josie. Figure 3 is a bad guy.

Apparently bad guys are easily identified by the "X" on their face.

And so ends this lesson in stranger danger.

Quick Summer Update

Summer seems to be flying by and someone (ahem, Teddy!) pointed out that I've been slacking in my blog duties. So here ya go!

Quick trip to Oxbow

Picnic in the van

Fun with an airplane

Or not fun (because it crashed and broke)

Good times at the lake

Did you know that fish bite better when you wear Princess jammies?

Frog habitat

And some huge fish!

Brent's feeling pretty good until........

....this one eyed monster came along.

And this dude put him over the top! Brent is jealous.
