❤ I HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN!! ❤

I got a letter in the mail today from my student loan company. I have been making payments on this loan for 6 years and it's sad because I went to school for 4 semesters and have no degree to show for all of this money spent. The letter stated, 

"Dear Steffani Stubbs, We're pleased to inform you that the remaining balance of your student loan ($507.03) has been forgiven as a way of thanking you for taking care of your loan obligation in a diligent manner."

Wahoo!!! This is the best news I've heard in months!! Has anyone ever had this happen to them before?

❤ JUST BECAUSE ❤

Isn't Tim so cute in this picture? :) I think so anyway! :) I know that he hates anything that highlights him, but I just had to write this post to tell him how much I just love him. He is such a hard worker and even though he's at a job that he doesn't necessarily like, he goes everyday just to support his family. He is the best dad that you will ever meet. He absolutely ADORES his little girls. He is so silly with them and they love it. He likes to make sure they have fun. Hally asks me every night while Tim is at work, "Where's daddy? I miss him." He checks on them in their beds to make sure they're okay when he gets home in the wee hours of the morning. People are literally drawn to him because he is so nice and has such a likable personality. He thinks he's shy, but he's really not. He will just go up and start talking to a  complete stranger. Thank you so much honey for being such a great husband and dad. Your girls love you more than you can imagine!! XOXOXO!!

❤ DRUM ROLE PLEASE ❤

AND THE GENDER IS.....

GIRL

Yes, we're having ANOTHER girl. I always saw myself with two girls and a boy, but I guess I was wrong! :) We're still really excited! Tim will probably never get his boy! :)

❤ HALLY BEAR ❤

DADDY DAUGHTER DATE

Tim took Hally on a very special date the day before her birthday. They went to Build A Bear. What an expensive bear it was, but what a happy Hally we had. Addi has gone with Tim to several Jazz games (she's been to more than I have!) and he took her to a play a few weeks ago. We decided it was Hally's turn to go on a date with her dad. She was so excited!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HALLY!!

I can't believe our little Hally turned 3 on June 20th! She is growing up way too fast, I can't stand it! She is such a sweetheart and everyone always tells me how adorable she is. She really is our sweetheart with the same amount of attitude! :) Hally we love you so much!!

HALLY'S NEW DO.....

Hally got her first professional hair cut a few days ago and I absolutely love it! Isn't she a doll? I would have done this a long time ago if I would have known how cute it would be. My friend Beth did such a good job!!! Thanks Beth!!!

❤ TIM'S BIRTHDAY & ADDI'S DANCE RECITAL ❤

Happy Birthday Tim! Tim's birthday was on Saturday, June 13th. I can't believe he's 32! He still looks pretty young. Thank you for all that you do for your girls! You work so hard for us! We love you so much! XOXOXOXO!

Look at his cool golf cake! :)

Addi had her dance recital the same day as Tim's birthday. She was a wicked witch of the west from The Wizard of Oz. She was really excited to wear "mom makeup" meaning mascara and eyeliner. Doesn't she look so dang cute?!

I was a little nervous, because at the dress rehearsal earlier in the day, she came out on stage and just chewed on her broom the whole time. LOL! She definitely had a bout of stage fright. It's understandable, I mean it was her VERY first time on stage. After reminding her throughout the remainder of the day to NOT chew on her broom, it paid off because she did such a good job in her performance. We got it all on video so she'll always be able to see her first dance recital. Good job Addi!

❤ PARADE & CARNIVAL ❤

PONY EXPRESS DAYS

It's so much fun to live where we do. We have a fun parade that goes on just out our back door and over the fence. There are also carnival festivities with rides, booths and entertainment all within a half mile of our house. It's not a big and grand event, but it's so much fun! I love the small town atmosphere of it all.

Addi was in the parade with her dance group and as you can tell, she was less than thrilled to be riding on the trailer while Hally was getting lots of candy.

Passing us by with an unforgettable devastated look on her face.

Hally was having fun with her buddy Kaleb cashing in on all of the candy. She also LOVED waving to the "princesses" in the parade. Meaning all of the Misses of various cities wearing pretty dresses and crowns.

~~~~~~~Carnival~~~~~~~

Having fun on all of the rides. The very expensive rides.
