Seattle Part 2

The hurricane blew through and took our power for almost two weeks so we decided to take a spur of the moment trip to see Cade, our new baby cousin in Seattle this last week. We had such a good time and enjoyed cool, beautiful weather. We took walks, visited a different park everyday, went to lunch, did some shopping, and enjoyed Kacie, Cade, and Adam very much. We are very appreciative to them for taking us in and all of their love and help.

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend we went to Ft.Worth/Dallas to see a few friends, it was fabulous. We drove up Sat. morning to see Shawn's wedding in Ft.Worth (beautiful), Alivia had a blast dancing, eating cake, and being the hit of the party. Then we stopped by Deighton and Adrian's house for the evening and on Sunday morning had a great time playing at their local water park. Monday we topped it off working on my parents' house and a swimming/bbq, it was a wonderful weekend!

Its only been over a year

Sorry I am so slow, but I have finally figured out how to add links to the blog, as well as let people comment. Thanks for your patience, but get excited because our blog is about to get flashy, haha- though it still might take awhile.

Busy bodies

The week after we got back from Mexico we had to say goodbye to my parents who took a permanent vacation (haha) to Switzerland. We are so excited for them and all of the adventures they are about to embark on. We have been hustling to finish the remodeling of their home so they can sell it asap and officially become Swiss.

Alivia is walking, running, talking a million miles a minute, and calling every phone number I have in my cell phone, "hi, hi"

She's such a blast!

We are saying goodbye to summer, but hello to a wonderful fall, times are exciting. My little sister Kacie had a baby boy yesterday, Cade David, check him out on their blog, www.adamandkacie.blogspot.com, sorry I am not gifted with scanning pics. He is a cutie.

Pool days

I can't believe school has started and are wonderful pool days are at an end. Alivia and I went to the pool and good three to four days a week this summer and will surely miss the sun.

Cabo Mexico

My close friend Deighton that I love to pieces got married this last week in Cabo, Mexico and included me in her wedding. We had a blast, stayed at an amazing resort, and got a little rest for ourselves. My mom kept Alivia and although I missed her to death, loved my vacation.

We went snorkeling and played at Lover's Beach

Nice place, huh!

Beautiful wedding, and an even prettier couple

July Update

Here is a small summary of our busy July:

Chad and I leaving for my HS ten year reunion downtown, all I can say is weird

Feeding the ducks in Summerwood
In July Alivia got to try soda and ice cream for the first time, I guess we are in trouble.

The 4th of July
The flower gardens with Aunt Ariel

Lots and lots and lots of swimming

Petting zoo with Lance and Ariel

Children's Museum downtown

July was a great month, we didn't go on any trips but it sure was busy. At the beginning of the month we found out we are having a boy, and that a few more cousins are on the way- exciting! We did a lot of activities, along with a bunch of swimming and hanging out with family and friends. My mom was sick from a surgery gone wrong for a few weeks and placed in the hospital, but is now doing much better. Then we went to my high school ten year reunion, like I said werid. Things are going well and life is full of blessings, joy, and surprises. August is sure to be full of trips and events, with us leaving for a week in Mexico, two weddings, my parents moving to Switzerland, and Kacie having her baby it should be fun.
