Fancy Nancy

My mom does so much for each one of us all the time, we can't but at least pamper her one day out of the year. Her birthday was on July 13th, so we decided to surprise her with a Fancy Nancy party. Since she shares her birthday the same day as our Grandpa Ballantyne, her and my dad went to Santa Ana to visit him. While they were gone my sisters decorated her house like the Fancy Nancy Children's Books. It looked so cute- the girls all wore princess necklaces and the guys wore top hats! My mom wore a tiara all day and a pink boa. (I can't take much credit for the decorating because when I got there it was almost finished, but I did help with the food!) We fixed a really nice dinner and even ate crepes and parfait for dessert! We had so much fun, and I think mom did too!

Day at the Beach

We have had a really busy summer, and I have slacked the last couple of weeks on posting our excitement. On July 15th me and my sisters journeyed to the beach with our kids! We had a blast! The kids loved playing in the water and sand, while we enjoyed talking and enjoying our time away! We even saw dolphins! Sarah, Alyssa, and I tried swimming as close to the dolphins as we could, but they were further away then we thought! Thanks girls for a wonderful day!
