Auntie Adi's special Day!!

Grandma Genny and Julia came up for Adi and Chad's wedding. They had their rehearsal dinner at Settler's Bay Lodge.

It was a beautiful night, full of friends and laughter!

With Uncle Brad. LOOve this pic!

This little guy was all smiles.

With the beautiful bride to be.

On the big day with their lovely Auntie! Such a perfect wedding for a perfect couple!

Happy Almost Birthday:)

So I have to document this before I forget because it is priceless.

So Elle has been talking about her birthday EVERY day since Tate's birthday in June, and I am not exaggerating. EVERY DAY she tells everyone she sees about her Tangled party and how old she is going to be. It is hilarious.

Well Grandma Debbie sent her and Blake their birthday gifts and said they could open them right away- which was in the car at the park.

and the gift opening begins...

After she opens all of her loot she naturally has to put on her new outfit grandma got her- thank you thank you grandma!

Every new present she opened she squealed with excitement " this is the best day ever"

Then she proceeds to put EVERy headband on her head. At this point I am just sitting there taking pictures dying laughing.

After she puts all her headbands on she takes her wand and dances around and says.

Oh my goodness I am like an angel.

What a good day my birthday is.

Precious. I couldn't stop laughing. LOOOve this girl. So thank you soo much Grandma Debbie and Papa Mike for making her day so bright as well as mine. Love these memories!

I am in Love with FALL.

How could you not be?

Many dAtEs with the park

Summer is definitely filled with many play dates at the park.

We LOVE them.

Brings so much fun to these little tykes lives, I find myself there almost daily, especially this beautiful fall.

This was today. What a riot these three were!

Sum Summa Randoms

Elle and Blake have had soo many play dates with Nana and Papa this summer. And love them so. I get asked every day if we can go see them, and more than not we do:) Elle loves her Nana and Papa so much, we are really so lucky to be close to them.

On another note, we went to one of close buddies Mylee's birthday party and Elle got to skate for the first time. She was actually pretty good, and really has no fear at all. Hilarious. So funny to see like 20 little kids on skates, but was even more enjoyable was watching all of the parents:)

We have played lots with this fun little couple. We love our tall uncle Jake.

Mani's and Pedi's with Auntie.

More play dates and Nana and Papas.

Grandma Hillis came up and met the kids for the first time. Elle loved having another grandma... this girl has 6 or 7 I think. :)

Loves to mow the grass with Nana.

Many play dates with the neighborhood crew. Can't wait to get a picture with this crew when they are teens:)
