we love people.

we, jeff & i, sincerely love to have people around us! for one, if i plan something at the house, it means i will clean and de-clutter the house. clean out the fridge. finish the laundry. it forces me to do things like that. of course, i clean on a regular basis...however, having friends over gets the ball rolling if you know what i mean!

with the warmer weather we love to have bbq's, more pool party play dates, impromptu grilled hot dogs and beer with the ipod cranked up and listening to things like what is playing right now! AND the hope of many more to come with the summer months before we head off to michigan for an extended stay with family to start tackling our many 'family functions' that we adore. it's tradition and the kids love it!!!!!

here's to new friends, old friends...may we come together over a grill, a pool, baked spaghetti, a friend's surprise birthday party, homemade pineapple upside down cake, or a hundred little kids running around the house havin' fun and makin' noise. it doesn't matter to me as long as we do it!!!

i love these two people the most in this great big world.
they fill me up every single day and i love them even more for having caring, trusting,
sweet little hearts that are innocent and vulnerable and for the time being...all mine.
(okay, jeff's too)

love this post...and these pics! funny...i was flipping through your camera the other day and when i saw that hair-blowin-in-the-wind pic of peyton, i thought to myself, "she better do somethin' with this one!" it's just the beginning, baby! more bbqs and pool days to come! This song makes me want to sit on the front of a big boat in a bikini with a big cowboy hat, drinkin' beer. I'm just sayin.

I love that collage photo! These pictures are amazing! Especially the last two of your sweet little ones!! OMG!

I learn from you everytime you host a party! You're always so Martha Stewart, but relaxed about it! You've got skillz girl!

So cute Darwish! Thanks for including us, you are an amazing hostess and we had a blast! Next time we will bring our suits, I am in love with your pool, it is so inviting! I love the picture of Beckham jumping into the pool, he is so adorable!

You're too cute. Thanks for including Baby 's'. Only two more weeks and then you will have to spend as much time with the baby before you leave for Michigan!
