It's your lucky day...

Just when you were wondering if I had forgotten my blogger account log in... Well, good news, your patience and your persistence in checking in is paying off, I do indeed remember my log in and password and how to type.

Ben is getting to be so grown up. He turned 30 on May 31. It seems like just yesterday he was young.


For his birthday we took our kids to Busch Gardens (we really like that place, huh).



It was really hot, so the kids had fun in their swimsuits playing in the water zone of the kids land. It was a really fun day.

My sister Jessie got engaged over Memorial Day Weekend, and she will be getting married in October. Here's a cute shot of Jessie and Taylor that my cousin Heather took at Jessie's graduation:

Here's Jess's new ring:


In other news, my sister Brooke is expecting her fourth baby in late November. Maddie is so excited for another cousin and is really hoping it is another girl.

They're the sisters of Paris' mom. Man, I know way too much fluff.
