Happy Birthday Auntie Sarah

Happy Birthday Auntie Sarah!
We celebrated Sarah's 26th Birthday on Sunday. Kyle helped me make a cake. It was my first attempt at making a 4 layer round cake. It turned out pretty good. The frosting was the best part! I have a great french buttercream frosting recipe. Let me know if you want it.
We had a family BBQ at our house. I made BBQ salmon, corn-on-the-cob, cheese bread, salad, and cake.
We opened presents and cards and enjoyed spending time together.
Sarah leaves in less than 2 months to spend a year in Thailand. We are going to miss her very much! So we are enjoying as much time with her as we can now.


The cake.

Deer Harbour/Orcas Island

We went to Deer Harbour on Orcas Island with Troy's parents on their boat last weekend. It was a fun time! Kyle had a BLAST! The weather was beautiful (except for the thunder storm on Saturday night) We played at the beach, went in the little boat, went crabbing, fished for little fish off the dock with Kyle's new net, and enjoyed spending time with MiMi and PaPa and Aunt Tara and Uncle Nando!

Kyle's funny face (check out the sandy fingers) Yuck!



Family Sandcastle building...we made an octopus

My cute hubby. This reminds me of when we were dating!

We had a fun-filled 4th of July.
So fun...that I forgot to take lots of pictures.
Here are two that I did take :)


Ryan (Troy's twin) and Mattea with Troy and Kyle at the Yankee Doodle Parade in Everett


Kyle, Janna, and Deek enjoying Root Beer Floats and Cotton Candy at the Fun In the Sun Event in Everett.

The day began with Troy running the Yankee Doodle Dash 10K in Everett. He did great!
Then we went to the Casa De Huber and made Brunch (Pancakes with Blueberries, Strawberries, and Whip Cream)
Next we enjoyed the Everett Parade and Fun in the Sun events in Everett.
We headed home for nap time. Mommy needed a nap too!
It was HOT!
After nap we went up to a friends lake house and enjoyed swimming in the lake, good food, good friends, and fireworks! Kyle told me "Fireworks are not pretty. They are loud and dangerous!"
Kyle stayed up until 10:30pm
It was a great day!
