Melanie's Birthday...

These are totally late in coming, but deserved to be posted non the less.. Melanie enjoyed a FULL day of celebration for her 5th birthday.  She started off at Libby Lou's with her best friend Lyndsie, getting all done up beautifully, then we moved on to McDonalds (YUM!!) and finished it off with dinner at Red Robin where some WONDERFUL people met us to celebrate with her!!  These pictures are from there, thank you friends for celebrating with Melly!  We love you!


Steve and Becky!

The Dirkse family!

Scott and Amanda!

Red came out to celebrate and even sat at the table with us and colored with Mel!  SO FUN!

The girlies!  Lyndsie, Melanie and Olivia

Hey Carrie! Welcome to "Blog-land"
Remember me? It's Lisa (Hamilton) - we used to be roommates with Amber WAY back in the day, while I was a Senior at Master's! I see pics of you & your family all the time on the Tobin's & Dirkse's Blogs (both of those families are dear friends of ours from our home church in Spokane, WA) In fact, my husband and Andy were roommates for a number of years and were in each others weddings.
Anyway, it's really fun to see your family and hear about what you are up to. Your children are beautiful! And so grown-up already.
We just had our first child in April - she is SO MUCH fun! I'm having a blast. Check out our blog for the scoop on us. :)
Blessings to you! Give Bets & Arianna hugs for me.
Lisa
