Visited AZ in July - I got a pic of Sadie and Brinlee, but missed Drew...he moves too fast! We had fun shopping for Sadie's school uniforms and made quick dashes out to shop for hats and other 'accesories' for the famed dress-up box. It's always loads of fun with the Phill-bups fam.
Visited Sparks, NV for Carson's 2nd birthday. This is the amazing cake Mally did for the FUN Nemo party in the park. How did I not get a pic of Carson!?! I think Carson got about 100 gifts from the guests, ages 2 days to whatever age Ron and me are. (I know that's probably not proper grammer, but I just couldn't seem to figure it out). Of course Papa and Nana never travel without the 'bounce house', Matt's now famous Christmas present to Drew. The contraption lives at our house, but whenever we go 'on the road' we bring it with us. Loads of funny fun fun!
The big event of the summer(so far) was Sadie's 5th birthday party which we spent at the happiest place on earth, DISNEYLAND ! We wished we could've whisked Matt & Tara here from D.C. too, but the Grovers and Phillips were all there. 6 Adults and 4 kids is pretty good odds for having a safe and enjoyable time in the park. This pic is Sadie in her cinderella dress at her personal birthday party with Mickey and Minnie. She invited me and Aunt Paula to join her, and she decorated her very own bday cake and played some games w/ the characters. Meanwhile - Drew, Carson, Papa, Brad and Kurt rode the rockets, pirates, dumbo, and other "scary" rides that Sadie was not interested in. Brinlee was a cute little bug, riding in the front pac or in the stroller. Wish I had more pics, but I'm doing well just to get this much of a post up! I'll do better in the future. ..And summer isn't over yet! We still have lots of fun planned, starting w/ Paula driving up from CA today...We're gonna see how many movies we can cram into one day at my new favorite movie venue. Lots of yummy food delivered right to our seats in whatever movie we are in...fun! Maybe I can figure out how to document that!OK, corny, sad kind of blog, but I'm just getting started again...be patient!
