Sorry, I have to pack for camping and am here on the computer! So I don't have time to post pictures, but check it out, I promise you will want to win!

Mom in town! and kite flying (FUN!)

My mom came to visit for a few days last week... I'm so sad she is gone! I already miss her! It was so fun to have her here. She got to see Jane roll over for her very first time. And we did some crafts together, but mainly she played with Jane, and Jane loved every minute of it.
Zach got this cool kite for Christmas from his dad but Sunday was the first time we took it out. You can tell Jane loves it! (jk) She is even holding the kite herself!
Right after I took this picture Jane started cracking up! It was so funny! We have heard her giggle once before, but this was full on laughter! It was awesome.
I absolutely hate that I tried to be in this picture... but oh well. Look how cute Jane is! Is was so windy, her hair is all over the place and look at that face! Oh man... I can't get enough of her!
p.s. anyone really good with photo shop think they can get me out of this picture?!

Dana's Bridal Shower

I threw my sister in law Dana a bridal shower on Saturday and this is how it turned out!
I made a strawberry banana trifle, my mother in law made these delicious chicken salad sandwiches, and the fruit salad and I made the fruit dip.

Then I decorated the sandwhiches with tissue paper and ribbon, and little tags that my mom embossed for me that say: A little yummy for your tummy. I got the idea for the boats and tags on the sandwhiches here.
Here I am with the bride to be!
A full view of the food. YUM. Those sandwhiches were delicious! And my mother in law made REAL lemonade! YUM YUM.
And thanks to my friend Ashley who already did all the trial and error on making banners, I was able to make this one in one try! (my mom really did half the work, she was in town! I love it when she comes to visit!)

Oh yeah and the Buffalo!

Oh man, these things are HUGE!!! I have a video on our flip that I still have to upload, but we caught one of them roaring and it is SO load, we were so close it was scary!
And they just take their time crossing the road. I know what this guy is saying. "Whatever, hit me if you want, you will be sorry"

And here is my FAVORITE picture of our trip. This is a real statue made with real bones from a mammoth so we took a picture in front of it but Zach's mom didn't want to be "in in" the picture so she stood in the back and just looks like she is some stranger trying to be in our picture! SO FUNNY! Too bad Zach isn't in the picture!

South Dakota...

While we were in South Dakota we went to the 4th largest cave in the world! We took an hour and a half tour... and it was pretty cool. There were paved paths and railings to hold on throughout... and yes, Jane is cut out of this picture but it's the only one we have!
Here we are before we went in.
So cute that Jane is holding her own ticket! (And yes, they made babies have tickets)
Here we are with Zach's parents after wards. I do have to say that South Dakota is quit pretty.
And here is me and Jane laying on the hotel bed as she picks my nose.

Mt. Rushmore on the Fourth

What's up world? Okay so it's been forever since I have actually blogged on here, so here it goes. Lot's of pictures...
Okay, it's true, our camera absolutely sucks! This is where we were sitting for the fireworks... oh wait... there weren't any fireworks because fog came in and covered the entire mountain a half hour before the fireworks were supposed to happen! (by the time we left, you couldn't see ANY of the trees!)
Here is Mt. Rushmore...
And here we are in front of it...
Just hanging out with Jane waiting for the fireworks that never happened!

Jane just chillin with Daddio.
