Jen and Michelle did Monday night's themed dinner...foods that start with the letter "P" from the game Scattegories( IT WAS GAME NIGHT).
We ate pigs in the blanket, Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, Pizza, Peanut Butter Ice Cream, Party Cake Ice Cream and played ping-pong!
This was the night the kids went in the pool after having their
jammies on! All we could do was laugh. It was so much fun.
We celebrated Colin's FIRST birthday and Melissa's 30 something...

My Mom reminded me that last year on Labor Day we were visiting this angel in Guatemala. We had no idea when she would be able to be in our arms forever. Coming home without her was one of the hardest things I have had to do.
Now we are in reality...check out what these two thought of Mommy and Daddy taking a picture of them together!
Bryan took this photo of us...I kid you not...it was his first. He held the camera a little tilted, but steady!
