Birthday Celebration #2

 Asher:)

On Livia's actual birthday we celebrated in Lincoln at my parents house.  We had a Mickey Mouse themed party with food, cake, and presents.   It was a low key party but Liv loved all the attention and presents:) 

Birthday celebration #1

We are so lucky and blessed to have so many people love and care for us.  Aunt Patti & Uncle Tom had us over to celebrate Liv's 3rd birthday, the week of her birthday.  We had cake, food, and played her new game.  The girls enjoyed some backyard time as well.  A fun time had by all:)   

Birthday gifts from Spain

The girls are so lucky to get exciting mail throughout the year from our family in Spain.  They sent packages for Liv's birthday in August.  Although we don't get to see them enough we cherish the times we connect via Skype. 

Dorsey Famiy Reunion 2013

I continue to be really behind on blogging.  I keep thinking I will catch up and then life has been rather busy lately in our world with lots of change and such...anyways I will work at getting up to speed:) 

Back in late July we had our Dorsey Family Reunion at my dads cousin Gene's farm. (the family farm)  It was such a great day with lots of activity, nostalgic moments, and fun.  The kids picked corn on the cob right off the stock, ran on hay barrels, had a balloon toss, and a bubble blowing contest.  There was a very special gifting of a 3000lb rock that sits on the roadside with "The Dorsey Farm" on it. On the back of the rock it has my grandpa's name along with his deceased brothers and sisters. My Uncle Tim worked hard on the chicken and we had an amazing feast!  We ended the day with karaoke in one of the out buildings.  It was a huge success and I am thankful to be a Dorsey!

20 year h.s. reunion..

 Trying to get a group picture- epic failure

 Lateaf had his 20 year high school reunion in July.  They had a picnic in the park and then a dinner/social time in the evening.  We took the girls to the picnic and they ended up playing on this water pad with the other kids at the picnic.  They had a blast even though there were signs that said "no wading":)  Lateaf loved going to his reunion and reminiscing with long time friends.  I had a great time mingling with people at his reunion even though I knew only a few.   Good times had by all!
