Lynch Creek Farm Soccer!!

That's right, we have branched out from wreaths and flowers to soccer teams! Georgia is playing summer soccer this year and Andy nicely decided to sponsor her team. Here are some pictures of her playing...she definitely doesn't enjoy it as much as gymnastics, but I think she has a pretty good time.

Being her usual cute self.

Tea Party

Georgia's friend Katie invited her and Natalie over for a tea party brunch. The girls got all dressed up in their "sunday best" and enjoyed quite the spread. They had pancakes with whipped cream, eclairs, fresh fruit, cookies...it was every childs dream breakfast.

And as usual with my children, even though they are all dressed up, the day ended with Georgia climbing trees, hiking through Poppy's forest to see fairy houses and dodging horse pies in the pasture as we tried to find Apache and give him some treats. It was a fabulous morning...thanks Katie and Sara!!

Happy Birthday America!!

Trying to explain the 4th of July to a 4 year old and 2 year old is a bit tough. So we just kept telling them it was America's birthday that we were celebrating. Honestly I don't think they have any idea what America is, but they enjoyed hanging out with their Shrum cousins and eating the fresh crab that Tony and Katie had caught earlier in the day, and playing with the sparklers.

Georgia the pyro...man she loved the fireworks.

The Hunter Family Vacation

Andy and I took the girls to Maui at the end of June. My sister was getting married and we decided she needed some family on her side during the ceremony (and it didn't hurt that we had enough capitol one miles to fly for free and a free place to stay) so we packed up and took our very first family vacation.

I think it took Andy a couple of days to realize that a vacation with children is much different than the vacations we were used to, sans children. We drove up to see the crater...it was fogged in...Natalie got car sick. We drove the road to Hana...car wouldn't start when we were ready to leave...Georgia got car sick.

We also saw the blowhole and the olivine pools.

The Banyan Tree which is the amazingly huge tree that takes up a city block.

Andy tested out his boogie boarding skills,

the girls and I played in the pool

and we enjoyed a wonderful beach wedding. We had a great time, were exhausted but tan, and are glad to be home.
