Party with the Stommel's

My, how we love the Stommel family! They moved away from us to Grand Junction, CO, a few years ago and we haven't seen all of them together since. While they were in town for a week we gathered some friends together for a bbq. It was so much fun!

These Days...

...we're taking it easy and enjoying life's little things:

• lounging around in bath robes and pj's
• story time
• cartoons
• walks around the neighborhood
• baking cookies
• folding laundry fresh out of the dryer
• taking pictures
• watering the flowers
• blogging
• visiting Grandma(s)

It's not the most exciting life, but it's my life. My simple daily life with Brycen. And I wouldn't want it any other way!

Grandma O'Connor's 80th Birthday Party

Last week we got all unpacked from Oregon, then got packed up again for a trip to Midvale, Utah.

We went down there for my grandma's 80th birthday party and it was so fun!

Her birthday isn't actually till September 4, but all of her kids were going to be in town the weekend of July 31.

My grandma is quite the partier! We had a great time.

Grandma's birthday wish was to go to Vegas. So her daughters took her the next morning! She had a blast!
