4th Fun

These American Girls are ready to rock the fireworks in STC. We jam packed our weekend with pool time and girl time. The weather was great. Hot during the day and comfortable at night. Perfect for fireworks! 
These 2 are like Peas and carrots! Seriously in love with my girls. They are loving the pool. We have tried to hit it as many days of good weather as we can. Being in school makes it hard because I don't always have the time to commit a long afternoon there. They do live it though and it's amazing how much more comfortable they are in the water since starting the season. 
We stayed late at the pool so we could have a late nap because we intended on having a late night. Here are some photos from Potawatomi Park.
Sweet summer time
Hello sweet little red head! Mom would just love to see this! 
She is not far behind, sometimes I see hints of red.
Yay for forth family time! Until next year!

Summer is Buzzing By

This summer has been wet, cold, and sad. Seriously terrible weather. It's been the same battle every spring to get the yard ready. The pittards verses Mother Nature. We sadly can never win. Somehow amidst the abundance of rain, we scramble to get things pulled together. Thank goodness for Justin and my Dad!! 
So one day I brought home the Disney movie "Toy Story" because it was $9.99 in the clearance bin. Little did I know that it would become such an obsession in our house. Isla has been infatuated with Woody and Buzz ever since, however she does favor Buzz just a tad bit more. So we decided a Buzz Birthday Bash would be completely appropriate. So in the very over the top fashion that I usually do parties, I went on etsy and spent too much money. Buzz tutu all the way. And Jessie dress to match too! Needless to say for the price I paid these will double as Halloween costumes! Here are the birthday pictures:
You've got a friend in me :))))
Estelle wasn't a fan of the cowboy hat haha! 
Welcome to the Buzz Bash. The things that I do for my children. It was a Pizza
Planet themed party with pizza, mozzarella sticks, salad and tons of goodies. The alien cupcakes were probably the best part. It all looked great and Isla was thrilled. 
She is getting too big. Be still my beating heart! Time for presents!
Estelle and cousin Avery playing together.
It was an amazing party. The only thing missing was mom. Isla was her girl. I can't deny she showed a little favoritism  to her first born granddaughter. They were best friends. We miss her so much. 
Side note: we celebrated our 8 year dating anniversary! Yay!
The butterfly house opened at peck farm. It's such a cute little place.... As long as the grumpy lady isn't working! 
Happy Father's Day Justin! He enjoyed his gift of around of golf!
It's so hard being so darn cute.
Summer days. It's going by too fast!
We got lots of dress up gifts for Isla. She got Ariel, Jessie, and sleeping beauty. She is so happy! 
Oh and this little butterball just keeps growing!! I get to start babysitting him in August :)
