ReplyDeleteGreat photo - I take it that these are your kids. Awesome! What Joy I feel as I read your words and enthusiasm about the coming summer! Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHey Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see your darling children, and what an awesome start to the summer! Our neighborhood pool is suppose to open this weekend but is has been really rainy here. Thanks for stopping by my blog, I'm so excited for Paris!!! I will most definitely eat a crepe in your honor. No plans as of now to visit Utah. My Utah fam is coming to Oregon this summer for a week at the coast. I'll be sure to let you know if I do make any plans. I'd love to get together! I wish you could come to Portland and take Judy's class with me. ;) I'm glad you and your sweet friend Kolleen were able to have a little get away, girl time with friends is important. Hope it brought you out of your fog.
Love to you my friend!
Jenny
Where on earth did you find these darlings! Their little faces are just adorable!! Your party sounds like a dream party, especially for the youngsters {and the youngsters at heart!}--I hope it was total fun. Maybe we'll get to see some pics???
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend Chrissy! Oh, and p.s., your approach to learning the guitar is perfect. We must be on the same page, because that's EXACTLY my method, too!
sounds like SO much fun! And I hope you'll be in the middle of it all, swigging pop and shooting your water pistol!
ReplyDeleteSounds like one excellent summer :) I hope you have a lot of fun!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time enjoying all of the fun and sun! Your kids are so very blessed to have a mama that is up for a bash like that :) ANNUALLY! You're awesome!
ReplyDeleteToo much fun with way too cute kiddos and one super cute cool mom!!! You make summer sound so delicious! Have a grand time celebrating :)
