Yummy! Trey's leftover cupcakes from his birthday!

Oh, what a mess.

A mess at a whole new level! (Seriously Tally?!)

4th of July

For the 4th of July, we took several days to visit the beach house this year. We went to the park over looking Dana Point Harbor where they did a really great fireworks show. We packed our dinner and blankets, and went and camped out for the evening. BUT, it was sooo cold! It was windy too and sitting on the damp grass didn't help any. It was really fun that Warren and Heather were down in Dana Point too, so we all met up for the evening.

The rest of the time we just did the usuals, like riding the beach cruisers in Newport and eating at Ruby's on the pier. It was a great mini vacation!

Ranch/Cabin

In one weekend, we visited the ranch and the cabin! Jordan's dad is always excited for us to come visit him in Antimone, and so is Trey (as you can tell by the last picture). We rode the 4-wheelers (with a special tour from one of Richards friends) and visited the horses too. Ben and Emily happen to be visiting the ranch too, so it was fun to catch up with them and see their baby too. We also went to the cabin (which I never took any pictures of) where we did some more 4-wheeling, some kayaking, and all the other fun things that we like to do there. We are so grateful and blessed that we have these wonderful places to visit as often as we want. It's always a nice break to get out the of Vegas heat and enjoy mother nature for a while.

Wiggles Concert

Very cheesy, but a lot of fun! Trey and Tally just loved it, and Jordan and I loved singing along as well! It was exciting to see them in person and they really interacted with the audience a lot. We are glad we went!

DaisyLoo Designs

My talented sister-in-law, Heather, just started up an Etsy shop. She has some REALLY cute stuff: ponytail holders, mouse pads, clip boards, bookmarks, and key fobs. Check it out here!

Getting back on track

So I've been taking a major blogging break because I was diligently working on my Blurb blog book. I'm done now, so now I can update with whats been going on in the present. I can't wait to get my book in the mail! The reason I do this blog is to record the family events in the Bunker household, which, I turn into a "scrapbook" of all the year's events. So back to the present in the year 2009! I seriously have a list of 12 things to blog about... a little daunting. Maybe I'll get to all of them. Maybe not. Oh, and some of the events im pre-dating... so they might be below this post somewhere.

Tally's Birthday

Tally is finally one year old!! We are so excited for her to turn one and to start so many new fun adventures, not being a baby anymore. For her birthday we had a butterfly party, inspired by the "Charlie & Lola" cartoon show. It was so fun to put together and it came out just as I envisioned. Butterflies were everywhere, and Trey even helped put butterflies all over the house. Instead of a cake, we did milk and cookies, just like Lola likes. We had regular, soy, chocolate, and pink milk, and about 6 or 7 different types of cookies. But for Tally's own personal birthday cake with a candle, she got her first taste of "Sprinkles" with a classic black and white cupcake. We were all jealous! Tally really seemed to have a lot of fun and she got some great gifts from all the family. Happy Birthday, Tally, WE LOVE YOU so much!
