What 40 means to me!

Elle's trip to Utah was different then mine...I got to fly, she got to drive!

Katie and Kylee know how to have WAY TO MUCH FUN!!!!

Katie and Kylee goofing off with Grandma while she is trying to catch some sleep!

Elle had some good times before she got sick at Aunt Allisons! She will never forget this trip and either will Allison!

Two of my favorite girls! "Little" Emmy Kate with her sister Chloe. I couldn't get enough of these two darlings!!

On my birthday "The Sisters" went to get a pedicure while Grandma watched Emmy :) we love you Grandma! It was the best treat!!!!

After our pedi's we meet up with Grandpa and had a great dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory. It was such a great day!!!
