Birthday Fun

Korie got to invite a few friends over Saturday for a birthday sleepover. The girls got along great and I think they all had a great time.
Of course, there were crafts involved.

We had a family get together at Sunshine's to celebrate Erika, Korie and Kinley's birthday. It's so great that our girls can celebrate with Erika too. It will be sad when Erika is gone one day and maybe not around to have these kinds of celebrations anymore. But, I guess that is why they invented cars. Hopefully these 3 can always celebrate together.

Uncle Chris helping Kinley put on her new flip flops.

The look on Kinley's face is hilarious. I think Grannie was showing her some candy.

Giving Uncle Chris some love

Man this kid is funny. I just love her!

Korie and her best budy Abigail, in puppy heaven.

I like your jammies Kinley Shea

Maggie decided to join the girls for their bath. She really jumped in by herself. Kinley wasn't too happy about it, but Kali loved it.
Kinley hanging onto the edge and definitely ready to get out.

Good times at the Siskiyou Golden Fair

Korie hanging out with Mr. Sampson. Mark's FFA teacher, Korie's future FFA teacher. Gotta love Harry Sampson!

Yum!

This kid is so cute.

You can always count on going to the fair and running into good friends there.

Inspiration for no shoes, no shirt?

Korie's last swim meet of the season was this week. We were fortunate enough to have Grandma and Papa here to join in the festivities.

The gang watching from the sideline.

Korie and her relay team. Go Dolphins!

Grandma running through the sprinklers with Kali. Not very fun to sit in 100 degree weather and not be able to get wet.

Awww...Papa and Kinley Shea.

What a life

Common sayings in our household these days.

Mark: I'll be back

Me: Can you wait just a minute!

Korie: Huh, what did you say Mom?

Kali: What abut ME?????

Kinley: I do it!

It's kind of like "I spy" how many puppies?

Korie and Kinley relaxing after some hardwork swimming. Oh..and the dogs, this is what they do most of the day.

My sweet baby girl.

Dear Pastor Benji...

I am sorry if in church today I was a distraction as I laughed hysterically to the point that I was crying. I really did try to be quiet. My precious daughter sitting next to me was drawing pictures and for some reason, these two "portraits" of Mark and I gave me the case of uncontrollable giggles when I saw them. Especially the one of my handsome husband.

No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem....

Sorry to torture you with MY sort of singing.

Maggie...the newest additon to the P Bar

Swimmin' with the Dancers

The Dancer's came out to hang with us. The kids decided it would be fun to go swimming in one of the ponds. This happens to be the pond that all of the bulls drink out of. Only one bull came over to check things out.

I am STILL digging mud out of Korie's ears.

Korie contemplating...can I swim faster than the bull....hmmmm????

Mama D's got a great pitching arm!

Mason throwing some mud at the bull. I was hoping the bull would walk toward him to see if Mason would wet his pants, but the bull wasn't interested in the little guy.

Poor Molly, she was giving the girls a "ride."

Trip to San Diego

Our trip to San Diego was fantastic. We crammed a lot in and visited a lot of family. It was good to spend some time with everyone, including my Mom.

We spent one day at Legoland. It was fun. The girls had a good time on the rides. We would definitely go back, but do the Sea Park and Water Park next time too.

This was probably my favorite part of Legoland...mini-land. It was very impressive, cities such as San Francisco, New York, Washington D.C. and more all made out of Legos.

Kali insisted on going to see Bob but then when we got there, of course she was shy.

Checking out the Seal Lion beach. Pretty cool.

We spent one afternoon at the boardwalk riding some rides and playing on the beach.

The girls with my cousin Kristin's daughter and cousin Erik's son.

Puppies are getting big. They are also getting A LOT of love.

Kali, Korie and I are hittin' the road tomorrow for a trip to San Diego for about a week. It will be fun, but hard to be gone so long.

Sure will miss these two while we are gone

Puppies!!! 10 yellow fluffballs.
