Last week and weekend

Last week we took a trip to Elliot farms to pick strawberries. We went with Jon Eric, Kim, and sweet Matthew Dodd. We had so much fun....Liza loved 'pickin' the berries......After we got a basketful we finished up the night with homemade strawberry ice cream. Yum yum.


She kept going for the green ones....







Thank goodness for Oxyclean...









Sweet friends....

What a gentleman Matthew is....he holds her hand to help her walk....and even takes his hat off for her.... :)



Swinging and enjoying ice cream...









Happy Birthday Liza!!! ROUND #1


This past weekend, my dad and Sheila, and big bro Matthew and Jessica came to visit us. We had so much fun!


Because of everyone's schedules.....and the small fact that we live 8 hours from family.....we couldn't really get a date close to Liza's birthday for everyone to be able to make it. SO....Lucky little Liza will just have to have 4 birthday celebrations. I am sure she will just be sick of all the cake, presents, and attention. haha....


Here are pics of our fun weekend and Liza's 1st, 1st birthday party!



Enjoying time with Uncle Matthew. She had a perfect little seat between his feet.



Please check out her sweet dress. Jessica made it for Liza's birthday (along with another brown one that she had monogrammed)....so incredibly thoughtful and talented! Thanks Aunt Jess! :)


Birthday cupcakes: Strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese icing....topped with fresh strawberries from the strawberry patch!



Not so sure what this is coming towards me....


Now I get it!



(Which by the way: Happy Birthday to Pops, too!!! Dad's birthday was just the week before.....we were really having a double celebration!)



Yiiiippppiiiiiiieeeeeeeee for cake!!!
