Our garden!

It is so much fun having a garden.  We aren't at the lake during the week to "tend" to it so by the weekend there is a lot of work to be done.  Liv especially loves to help in the garden.  Lateaf is the master gardener and I am the helper:)  We had quite a lot of produce this year and it's great to reap the benefits of the hard work. 

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!
