The Parade with a Little Bug and Paddy Cakes

We went to the W.B Parade with our best buddies Steve, Samara, and Paddy (Brooklyn). We had a great time and feel lucky to have them as friends. We can't wait until Paddy is big enough to run around with Shaylee!

Fireworks Party

Steve and Samara had a great fireworks party, they can get a crowd together! I wish I would have taken more photos! Shaylee loved the fireworks and would say, "BOOM! Yayyyyy!" so cute. I wish that July came around three times a year, I love this month. Thanks Steve and Samara for the fun time!

Shaylee and her peeps! :)

Big Sky Hillclimb - Fun and Lots of Rain

The event was great, it is a nighttime hillclimb with a big fireworks show at the end. It rained A LOT on Saturday, it was amazing that they even finished the race. I was happy to have our trailer there just to get out of the rain. Jason did awesome, winning 1st place in two classes. Speed Vision was there taping it and got a good interview with Jason, there was also an awesome write up on him in the Billings Gazette: http://billingsgazette.net/articles/2009/06/18/sports/local/21-hillclimb.txt



Mom and DW7 "ya, ya, ya, yaaaa"

Shaylee got to ride around in the golf cart with Great Grandpa Chick, she was very happy!

We got to go shopping on Friday, the best thing about going to hillclimbs! We had a pretty big group this time; my Grandma Jennie, Vicki Tingey, my Mom, Shaylee and I.

Fathers Day 2009

We were at the hillclimb for fathers day, perfect place for Ryan to be on his day. He got a bunch on motorcycle related stuff, I really wouldn't know what else to get him. He is a the best dad and really takes the time to be a great dad. Shaylee calls Ryan "daddy" half of the time and "Ryan" half of the time. It is hilarious when she calls him Ryan, he always says, "I'm DAD!"

Lucky Shaylee to have Ryan for her Dad. One day she will know just how many "Dora the Explorer" episodes he watched with her, how many tantrums he used his patience through, how many days he had to put every shoe in her closet on her, how many books he read, and what a great Dad he is.

I didn't get that great of pics, but Shaylee was very excited to give him his gift and card she worked so hard on. She even sang "happy birthday" to him as he opened his gift.

Yellowstone

We stopped in Yellowstone on the way up to the Montana Hillclimb, it is so beautiful there. You really need a week, we went on a great walk and had an awesome BBQ. My mom came with us, which made our drive a lot easier and Shaylee a very happy girl. She has started to call "grandma Judy" just "Jeu-DEE" all on her own, I'm not so sure grandma Judy likes it so much! We saw plenty of animals and Shaylee loved the "BAfffff-Lo" (buffalo).

Tea Party for Two

We got together on Sunday for my Grandma's Birthday (Happy Birthday Grandma!) and my Grandpa's Fathers Day (Happy Fathers Day Grandpa!). Shaylee and Sierra had so much fun together, they played in the playhouse and had a pretty serious tea party.

Turning 2

I cannot believe our baby is TWO! We had a small family party to celebrate her big day. Her "thing" right now is Dora the Explorer, we had all the character posters, balloons, tables etc. She also received a lot of "Dora" gifts. She is one happy girl. Her very favorite gift was a pair of motorcycle pants from her Grandma and Grandpa, she had to put them on immediately after opening them and refused to take them off clear up until bedtime! She is so funny right now, she has these over exaggerated expressions that can make anyone laugh! This is going to be a fun year with her, I just wish she would s-l-o-w down, I hate that she is growing up so fast! Happy Birthday Shaylee Bug - we LOVE you!
