Summer Parties

It has been a summer full of weddings, bridal showers, birthday parties, softball games, going away parties :( & bbq's.

Here are a few pictures from our cousin Shannon's wedding!!

Here we are after a water fight that ensued after an evening BBQ!!
These two are from a night at the ice skating rink!

Dad and Susan came to Seattle for Edward's cousin, Shannon's wedding. They live in Minnesota and we don't get to see them nearly enough so it was such a blessing! We had bbq's and went to the wedding at the beautiful Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo. It was a blast!! And we miss them already!!
Here we are at Nikki's bridal shower, she is such a beautiful woman and friend.

I can't wait to see her as a bride!!!!

Cold Day at the Beach

The first week in August we took Remy to Ocean Shores to enjoy the Washington coast line! Roadtrips are always such a great time!!!! Once we arrived, the air was crisp, the water was loud and the company was perfect, AND it was also really cold and really windy. Remy had a blast in the hotel pool and loved seeing the horses on the beach.

It was an awesome time together as a family!

Summer is flying by!!

We have been enjoying the beautiful weather and the blessed company of friends and family this summer!! Here are some pictures from Samantha's 7th birthday, Morgan's 19th birthday, and Remy's cast removal. It was an awesome blessing to see Aunt Sandy, Uncle Paul, Doug and Julie at Morgan's party!!! We had such a great time together! We are hoping to get over to the Ocean this weekend so I will post more pictures next week!!

1st Broken Bone

It is hard to believe, but Remy has already broken a bone!!

He jumped off the couch and landed wrong, causing a break in his elbow. He had a cast put on, and did not seem phased by the experience, nor does he complain at all now. In fact he doesn't even act like it bothers or inhibits any of his normal daily activities. He is still his daring self, jumping off anything possible and climbing on everything!! The doctor placed it on him on July 15th and it is scheduled to come off on July 29th. Everyone has been signing the cast, including his little cousin Jayda, pictured below. In the last picture he looks so tall!

Family Brunch

Morgan's boyfriend, Stephen, is in town visiting her this week. Last Sunday, we all went down near Pike's Place Market to Cutter's Bayhouse for brunch. The food was fabulous and the weather was great. Here are some pictures we took that day.

Tim McGraw Concert

My little sister, Morgan, and I went to the Tim McGraw concert the other night with a few of her coworkers. It was such a blast, the weather was beautiful, the music was great and the company was perfect! Morgan and I sang all the songs, danced in the grass and just enjoyed the time together. There are a few silly pictures in between the acts where we are showing off our ability to contort our faces!!

Remy's 2nd Birthday

Happy Birthday Remy!!!!

We had a wonderful turnout this year and the weather was great (unlike his party last year!!) Edward did a fantastic job manning the bbq, while the kids played in the yard with their squirt guns! We all enjoyed Remy's gluten-free cake from "Haley's Corner", a GF bakery in Kent. It was amazing! Thank you to everyone who attended for making this such a joyful occassion! Your love, support and generosity are grately appreciated!

Laying down the tile

We still have a bit to go but we had to delay the completion of the job to CELEBRATE Remy's 2nd birthday. I will post those pictures next!
