Happy Independence Day from Dayville

Even though the city of Dayville canceled nearly all their 4th of July activities, they still had a parade and my kids got more candy in those 10 minutes than they ever have at any event here in Reno. Not to mention mini flags and smokey the bear frisbees to boot. Best parade ever. Followed by playing in the park, a horse race, and fireworks...who could want more?

love this face..

Sheriff Ethan

and they're off...except for Ethan and Doug. Apparently they didn't get the memo

Birthday Pics and More

My cute nephews have birthdays only a few days apart and their mom asked me to take some birthday pictures. It gave me a chance to finally use my new backdrops which are super cool (maybe next time I'll iron them since it's obviously necessary, especially for the white).




this picture might the cutest one I've ever seen...and I say that from a totally unbiased point of view...

Lane's Thomas cake

Luke's Spongebob cake

bonus picture: Natalie getting a little too friendly with the steers....not only did she stick her fingers in his nose, but also she shared her popsicle which was promptly taken away. Good thing we don't have any pets.
