Happy 1st Birthday RUBY!!

Ruby had a great birthday! I can't believe that she is already one! We celebrated with the grandmas and grandpas and Toni and D fam and Chris and Jen fam up at Oak Knoll Park by our house with a little barbeque and play time at the splash pad. She loved her chocolate cake and wore it well! There are more August pictures in the Picasa album.

A great birthday!

I just had to post a picture of the delicious chocolate cake that Maggie and Chuck made for me!!! They did it all on their own and it was really great!! There were plenty of sprinkles on there (pretty sure that was Maggie's job). It was a great day!!

Fun Times at the cabin!

We spent a whole week at the cabin and had a great, relaxing time. Grandma and Grandpa Demulling and Toni and John and the kids also came up and spent a few days with us.
Maggie likes to ride in the tube behind the boat and also just float in it on the shore!
Our latest purchase is a paddle board from Silver Creek Paddle (Rob and Dee Dee's new business). We had a lot of fun paddling around the bay. There were a few nights Chuck paddled out to see the sunset around the edge of the bay. The early morning and evening rides where the water is completely calm are our favorites!
I was a bit skeptical of Chuck when he decided that we needed a speed boat, but I'm glad he talked me into it! We have really enjoyed it! From taking the kids out on the tube, to pulling the adults on skis it has been great fun! We have even used it to go for an evening ride and put kids to sleep!

Happy 4th of July and the Tucon Souvigniers visit!

We had a great 4th of July this year! The Tucson Souvigniers were in town and we all spent the weekend up at the cabin. The weather couldn't have been better and it was so nice to all be together! I have finally updated the picasa web album with some more pictures from the summer!

Ruby walks!

Happy Father's Day 2011!

We spent the beginning of Father's Day weekend up at the cabin with Grandma and Grandpa Souvignier. The weather was a bit cool and rainy (like many of the weekends this summer) but we still had a fun time out on the boat. Grandpa pulled mom and dad skiing and Maggie got to ride on the tube! We had some nice bonfires and didn't even get too many masquito bites! Sunday morning we got up early, packed up and headed to Grandma and Grandpa Demulling's. We met up with Toni and John and the kids and Grandpa grilled up a delicious lunch! Frank and the boys stopped by and Great Grandma Helen stopped in too. The girls are pretty lucky to have such a great Dad and two awesome grandpas!

Maggie is three!

Maggie was so anxious for her birthday this year. Shortly after Chuck's birthday, she started asking about when hers would be and she would mention something about her birthday every other day (no exaggeration!!) Grandma Souvignier found the perfect count down wheel for her to turn each morning to count down the days.
She had a great party out at Grandma and Grandpa Demulling's house. The weather was a little cool again this year, so there was no swimming, but they still got some good hot tub time in! Maggie was so excited to help me make cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles!
Both grandma and grandpas were there and Toni and John and the kids and Chris and Jen and the kids too! Toni knew how excited Maggie was for her big day and made her the cute shirt pictured above.
She was spoiled this year with lots of great toys and cute clothes!! Thanks to all!!!
