Pictures, Pictures, Pictures

The Paine Art Center was a beautiful backdrop for the outdoor pictures.  We may be hot and sweaty, but hopefully we don't show it too much.  I can't wait to see the professional pictures when they are ready!

The Wedding!!!

The wedding was beautiful and HOT!!  But everyone made it though and did a wonderful job!  Ava and Ryan did AWESOME walking down the aisle and were rewarded with candy.  I was SO proud and SO relieved!

Rehearsal Dinner

Lucas and Dana's wedding is finally here!  We are so excited to help them celebrate!  They started the festivities with the rehearsal and dinner on July 20th.  We were honored with many presents.  Kyle got an engraved mug and gift card, Ava was given a tiara to wear for the wedding as well as a beautiful flower girl necklace (she loved it... can you tell from the picture?) :) and Ryan got a Thomas the Tank engine set and movie.  We loved the gifts and are SO honored to be part of their big day!

Just Like Daddy!

Swimming Like Fishes!

We can't get enough of the Robbe's pool.  We swim almost every day and sometimes more than once a day!  The kids have gotten SO much more comfortable in the water this year and Ava now LOVES the diving board!  Ryan just got his floaty like Ava, so I am sure he will be jumping on his own soon too!  

Happy 70th Birthday Papa!!!

Can you say Graduation photo?!?!

Please take note of the big boy underwear.... that's right!  Potty Training is in full effect (and he's doing REALLY well)!  And also the JUMBO sub sandwich!  He was so excited to eat it....but only took 2 bites!

Pool Party!

We are VERY thankful that the Robbe's have an AWESOME pool for us to enjoy especially because it reached 100 today and has been in the 90's for the past week!  We stopped at Monica's for a boat ride and then came to the Robbe's for swimming!  Ava can now stay underwater for 7 seconds and Ryan LOVES jumping into the pool (as long as mom or dad catch him!)  What a great way to celebrate the 4th!

 

Sparklers!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Nazereth Day!

We had an AWESOME time at Holy Hill's family day.  We got there a bit early, so we were able to try out all of the games/activites without any lines!  We were the first to try out the bouncy house, the relay games, the water balloons, and of course the facepaint/balloon animals with the clowns.  Ryan was too scared to have the clowns get that close, but Ava ended up with this BEAUTIFUL creation!  We also got front row seats for the magician and then Ava got called up on stage!  Later a photographer from the Catholic Harold came and asked for Ava's information because she may be in the paper!  We will keep you posted! 

Ava's self portrait!

Future Fashion Designer!

Yesterday Ava asked for a piece of paper and then proceded to draw this.  When I asked what she was working on, she said she was drawing the dress she was wearing.  I then asked why she picked that to draw and her answer was "Because I want to be a fashion designer when I grow up"  How cute!
