Backyard BBQ & pool party

a must on your "to do" list this summer

is a backyard BBQ & pool party...

let the kids get messy and dig into some chips and hotdogs

take a snooze

then cool of by jumping into the pool & splashing around

we had a blast going down the slide

and just relaxing in the hot sun

Happy Summer!!!

It has been so much fun being pregnant

with my two cute sisters :)

I can't believe we will all be having little babies

within 2 months of each other

(Jacque, Ashley & me Megan)

We were crossing our fingers for three boys

but Jacque just had to go and be "different"

These three little cousins are just going to be the best of friends!!!

Baby Robins!!!

A little Robin decided that the nest for her little babies

would fit perfectly in my parents backyard tree!

I agree...

Memorial Day!!!

Thinking of you Kris

while Memorial Day for most is a day off work or school,

for many it is a day to remember loved ones who have passed on.

For the Burns family,

Memorial Day is a day to remember Kris Burns

(Brandon's big brother).

I never personally met Kris,

but have heard many stories

and let me tell you

I'm pretty sure I would have instantly loved him :)

All the stories I have heard

either involve him destroying a car in some way

(ranging from a home made sun roof to driving a van off a cliff)

or torturing neighborhood children while dressed as a Nija.

Gathering together with the Burns family at Kris's grave stone

is always an uplifting and positive experience.

This year we all got to write a little "heart attack" note to Kris

and put it by our little stick person to watch over him.

I am so grateful to be married into such a strong and loving family

who have taught me so much!!!

Happy Anniversary!!!

Brandon and I have been married for 3 years

(and 1 day)

Sunday Brandon surprised me with

a night at the amazing Waldorf Astoria in Park City :)

We had an awesome time

were we pretty much wore these robes and slippers the entire time

I'm 100% sure that marring this man

was the best decision of my life!!!

Thanks Brandon for the best 3 years

and many more to come :)

-Love you-

What's cookin good lookin?

Finn is already taking after his Daddy...

Brandon is the cook in our family

If it were not for my amazingly talented hubby

we would either eat out every night

or be eating something from a box :)

Thanks babe for all our great dinners!!!

-Love ya-

Washtington DC

A few weeks ago we took off to

Washington DC

Finn was surprisingly good on the flights

and not surprisingly cute as ever :)

We were able to see so many awesome sights

and we took so many awesome pictures...

we were lucky enough to be there

during the cherry blossom festival

which was amazing!

Finn got nose picking bored at the museums :)

we did LOTS of walking in the hot hot heat

(Finn did a grab and run with grandmas coke)

The boys loved all the eating out

(excluding Finn)

our waiter literally put everyones bib on for them

it was hilarious :)

we even got to celebrate papa's birthday :)

Happy Birthday dad we love you very very much!!!

and we ended the fun trip in Baltimore

Hope you liked all the pictures

sorry there were a ton :)

but it was just such an amazing trip

with so many awesome things to see and do
