Baby Showers

Baby Showers

You know I can't pass up blogging about a great party so these go in for highlights of summer too. First is a baby shower that my great friends threw for me. We went to Thanksgiving point for dessert and had a fun night. Thanks to Harmony and Erin for the darling baby shower.

Then earlier in the spring, Harmony and I hosted a baby shower for Emily. It was so fun to plan a baby girl shower. It was cute and everyone had a great time.

Oh how I love my glass jars!!!

Summer Highlights

I feel like I should try to catch up on all the blogging I haven't done, but there is no way that will ever happen. So here are a bunch of pictures from our summer. This will be one of my longest posts since pictures are worth 1000 words and the great part is you won't have to read all those words. (I'm not one for reading). Enjoy our summer!

Dane's Birthday at Cowabunga Bay

We had the park to ourselves for the first hour. It was a little chilly but the water was like a bathtub so no one even noticed the temp. They all had a great time.

Happy 10th birthday Dane! We love you!

A trip to Lagoon and Late Night at Cowabunga

I was just too big and pregnant and tired and hot to do anymore than this.

Happy birthday to Julie who shares the same birthday as Maggie and Calvin whose birthday is 2 days later.

Oh wait I did do something else. We went to lunch at Dear lizzie (the cutest store and restaurant ever) where the girls tried on prom dresses and then headed to Nordstrom for their first Mac makeover.

Oh and she got her first phone and texted me all night from her bedroom. She's one happy tween!

Our Happy Little Preschooler

Preston is in his 2nd year of preschool this year and he was so excited to start. He is in a wonderful preschool this year and already after meeting his teacher once, loves her. Emma had her a few years ago and she kept telling Preston all the fun things they would do and then just to help him feel at ease about his teacher, she would say, "Just pretend that she's me". She likes to play school with Preston and she's always the teacher although I don't know how that would help Preston feel good about his new teacher because when Emma's the teacher I am constantly getting notes from her that Preston needs to raise his hand and not speak out in class and sit in time out when he's told to. I'm surprised he wasn't scared to death thinking that his teacher would be like Emma. Anyway, he had a great first day and can't wait to go back.

This kid is so cool.
