Happy Birthday Lucy!!!!

On July 9th we celebrated Lucy's 8th birthday. I can't believe she is 8!!! Lucy was lucky enough to get baptized on her actual birthday. It was a very special day. Her friend Cooper was also baptized that day. We were joined by a lot of friends and family. After the Baptism we all came back to our house for a barbecue. Most of you know that we have been adding a deck to the back of our house for a while now. (We started it last September) After a lot of work from Billy, Paul, and Trever (who finished it for us), it is now done. YEAH!!! It is so nice! We love it!!! Anyways, here are some pictures from the day.

Lucy and her Daddy.

All perfect after Baptism.

All the family that was able to come.

Our CRAZY family!!!

The side of our house with the new deck.  (It's bigger than it looks in this picture.)

The back of our house with the new deck.  (It goes the full width of the house)

Our summer toy.  The kids have had a blast with this and I love how easy it is to set up and take down.

When it came time to blow out the candle we had to search high and low to find eight.  I even turned to some of my decorative ones.

The next day we had Lucy's friend party.  Only 3 little girls were able to make it but I think they had a really good time.

Lucy splashes down the water slide.

Haley, Alex, Lucy, and Megan

Lucy didn't want cake, she just wanted ice cream cones, so that's what she got.  

Happy birthday Lucy!  I love you, and I'm so glad I get to be your Mommy!!
