Busy, busy, busy...

We've been on the go for awhile now. I feel like once April came around, my life has gotten so busy. No time to slow down. I can't even read my favorite blogs anymore and I'm totally neglecting this one. Believe me, I am always trying to take pics so that I can share them on this blog. Ben's been using the desktop alot for school work (writing curriculum for next year) and for Rachel's 3rd Video. I will post the other two soon to compare them all. ;) Every year we make a slideshow video with Rachel pics, it's so much fun to see how much she's grown and how big she's getting. I can't believe my baby is going to be three! Augh! I am feeling a bit older now.

Here are some pics that I took in the last few weeks. :)

Playdate on Thursday (July 3rd) with Aunt Kelly and her nephew, Jacob. Tara joined us later with her girls Angelica and Michaela.

Michaela and Rachel playing princesses, barbies, little people airport among other things! :)

On Sunday, we celebrated Rachel's 3rd b-day alittle early. Her b-day is on the 21st of this month, but since Aunt Vanessa and the kids are in town, we celebrated with them. :) Can you guess the theme?? Yep, princess.

Matthew, Allison, and Rachel

RAchel sang Happy birthday to herself (at first) because she was so eager to eat those cupcakes. She loves any kind of sweet food.

Cousin Allison and Rachel blow the candles out. :)
