Trip to Lancaster: July 2012

We had an awesome vacation this year…spending 1 week in Lancaster and 1 week with my family. Ryan loved playing with her cousins all day long!

Ryan with cousin Jo Jo. They were digging around in the dirt and planting a garden.

There is 1 thing we love about our visits to Grandma and it’s all the great cooking. The grandkids loved to cook with her. We missed Rick and his family.

These 3 are in almost every picture together. They played together the entire time. It was really cute to see how sweet they were to Ryan and Dani. I wished with lived closer to each other so they could play all the time.

One of the nights we were there all the kids had a campout in the backyard.

We also celebrated Jo Jo’s 7th birthday. He got this huge bear

And Jo Jo wasn’t the only one who fell in love with it. My cute Dani!

Having a campfire in the backyard. Hughie and Martha’s backyard is awesome!

Dance Camp: June 2012

Some girls in our ward put on a dance camp every summer to earn money for their dance competitions. It was Mon.-Fri. and Ryan absolutely loved it. She always told me about the princess dresses they got to wear. At the end of the week they did a little dance to a song. It was super cute.

I’m so glad when Daddy gets home…Father’s Day 2012

Wow! I’m so behind on blogging. We have had an awesome summer…I have tons of pictures. I’m going to try to update everything over the next couple of weeks so here comes lots of posts.

Father’s Day started off with breakfast made by me and Ryan…pancakes and eggs. Ryan made this cute tie filled with candy at nursery and was so proud of it. Honestly because I’ve waited so long to blog I couldn’t tell you what we made for dinner…oops.

Billy and I have been trying hard to workout so weights and bands were his Father’s Day present.

Billy is such an amazing husband and father. Ryan and Dani are in love with him and get so excited when he comes home from work. The other day Billy was holding Dani and Dani kept patting Billy’s chest and smiling. She can say, “Da Da” too. It’s the cutest thing. Billy has been working long days the past couple of weeks and tonight Ryan told him, “I’m so happy you’re home Dad." We love you Daddy!
