Danielle is TWO!!!

Danielle turned 2 on the 28th. We celebrated her birthday on Sunday with family and friends at, Fairhaven Park. The park has sprinklers which are her favorite. She showed everyone how much she LOVES the water and cupcakes. :)

Pickin' Strawberries

Last Thursday we went out to a local u-pick berry farm, Boxx, to picked the last of the strawberry crop. The kids had so much fun "helping" us pick the strawberries. We had a great time!! We'll be back next week for raspberries and a couple weeks later for blueberries.


Danielle got her bucket, she's ready to pick!!

4th of July!

The DeRemer family had a great 4th of July!! Uncle Bubba came up to spend the day with us. Grant and Bubba took in some golf so Danielle and I went to the Blaine parade with Shay & Hayden. We met up with Tyler and his family. I didn't know how Danielle would do standing around for an hour watching a parade, but she had a GREAT time. She would stand there, dance around and wave at the floats driving. But the best part was catching candy!! Shay, Thad, Hayden, and Brian came over for a BBQ and to set off & watch fireworks. Danielle thought it was so cool. She wanted to help out, but we just watched from the sidelines. Hope everyone had a great day with family and friends!!


Waving to the parade patrons


Tractor tractor tractor is what she said as it drove by.


Tyler & his Momma. He's telling me 2 suckers are better than 1. :)


I got a sucker!!


Rachelle, Tyler, Danielle & I


Danielle got so excited when a group of doggies passed by. She wanted to pet them all. This dog would jump high in the air to catch bubbles. It was cool to watch.


Parades are FUN!!

Shay, baby Hayden & Thad... good friends & neighbors.

Stayin cool on a HOT summer day!

Last weekend was SO HOT! Too hot for Danielle &I. I bought a sprinkler toy to keep us cool. Here are some fun photos of Danielle keeping it cool or should I say drinking water.


Danielle keepin' it cool in the sprinkler


She shortly figured out it was sort of like a drinking fountain...


mmmm, fresh cold water!


BLAH!! :)

So now everytime we put the sprinkler on she thinks it's a fountain. Too funny!!
