Watermelon Cuties!



Watermelon Cuties!
There's magic in little girls,
In thier shining eyes and tossing curls,
In winsome smiles and dimpled cheeks,
And music when they laugh and speak,
There's magic in little girls, its true,
They're as precious as a pearl to me and you.

























My girls are as SWEET as fresh summer watermelon

Happy 4th of July and summer from the "growing" Slade family!


What a summer it has been! We have had a crazy summer with mommy being down till baby comes, but we managed to squeeze in some fun!


We just celebrated Cody's Cousin Libby's Bridal Shower! Charlie and Makayla were so cute together. They colored together, caught bubbles together, and popped bubble wrap together, while laughing histarically.











Lyla, Libby, and Shelby at Libby's Shower.










Celebrating Bertie's 70th Birthday!

Brody, Bertie, and Makayla celebrate 70 yrs!









Makayla and Grandma Mary having a blast at the water park in Payson!



My Baby Shower! Thanks Melanie, Deanna, and Carrie!













Camille and Wendy pose with the twins, Lizzy and Addy at my shower.







Amanda, Alisa, and Jackson say cheese at my shower.











Makayla showed us just how to sparkle on the 4th of July.





Could our rug rats be any cuter? Ashley and Makayla thought they were having dessert instead of veggies. They ate 3 corn cobbs each and then we talked the boys into having them as a treat also. Not sure how that worked out so well!








A few rounds of water ballon toss left everyone laughing since the ballons just wouldn't POP!







Ashley, Mary, and Makayla filled up ballons for the girls team!




Brody, Makayla, Ashley, and David had a blast on the slip and slide in the perfect 4th of July weather!




















Go speed racer David!




Here comes Ashley!

















Makayla catching bubbles in her butterfly net!

Happy 4th of July from the "growing" Slade family!

















Makayla, sometimes you are too cute for words!




It has been quite the summer! This summer I have learned life may not always go according to planned. In fact sometimes things can go way off the beaten path and we just have to follow them down the road they take us.
My birthday may not have been the best one, or even close to it, but I did learn how much my family and friends care for me.
