Mustache Bash!

Ok I've got bitten by the blog bug :) I'm going to ride this wave for a bit and see how many posts I'm actually able to knock out, ha! I found Eric's file with all of Lakai's First birthday pictures, woorahh! The theme for his party was "Mustache Bash"! It was super cute! He practically dove into his cake and did a great job smashing it all over his face. It was a great party and the little man had a wonderful time. Can't believe he's a year old already, time is slipping away from me!













It was a great party! Thanks to everyone that came :)

Forever and a Day

It's been WAY too long since I last blogged!! So sawy :) Of course LOADS of things have happened since I cut all my hair off. It's no longer 2000 degrees outside! Woo hoo! Both Reagan and Lakai had birthdays at the end of September, super cute. I'll post pictures of that (someday....maybe). Lakai is officially walking, happened at 13 months (only 2 months behind sissy, no big deal right??) He still prefers crawling since the walking isn't quite as fast yet but I'm calling it official anyway. He walked all the way from the kitchen to Reagans room last night so that just proves it, ha! We had one of Eric's photog friends take our family pics this year. A big shout out to Miss Jane Zarzynski for the amazing shots! What a chore it was for her. My kids were a little CUCKOO after being in the car for almost 2 hours (we drove to Sedona for the gorgeous scenery). Anywootin' those are the pictures that I'm posting today. I'll try to be better about posting. "Try" being the key word :)

Florida to PA and back again

My gorgeous cousin Sarah got married 2 weekends ago in Florida and Eric shot (photographed) the wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and my first time ever visiting FL. We played in the Atlantic Ocean, which yes is warmer than the Pacific and had an overall great time with family. And since we were already on the east coast we decided that a trip up to Pennsylvania to visit Erics mission would be fun! He hasn't been back since he got home in 2004. It was SO. MUCH. FUN! If it wasn't for missing our little bunnies (that's right the kiddos stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Greenhalgh) we wouldn't have wanted to come home at all. It is just so breathtakingly beautiful there. So much green, and stunning lawns, and vegetable gardens and flower beds EVERYWHERE. I swear, the house could be a total junker and practically falling to the ground but their front lawn would be perfectly manicured with a quaint flower bed. I just fell in love with the place. And it was neat meeting so many people that Eric had taught and the members of the church that he had become friends with. Thank you to everyone that opened your home to us, we love you all so much!

Blue is for...get coloring!

I love the lake. I especially love the lake during the summer. And I MOST especially love the lake when there are jet ski's to be ridden. Thanks Dad and Renee for planning this fun trip, we had a blast!


Look at this crazy baby hair!

The cuteness that is Devin and Marisa :)


Cousin love




Not sure why I didn't get a single shot of my dad, Renee or any of the boys :( Looks like we better do it again SOON!! {hint hint wink wink}

Oh and to explain the title. The other night while driving home we were coming to a stoplight. So Reagan starts saying, "red means stop, yellow means slow down and green means GO!" she pauses for a second then says "and blue means...get coloring!" Just a delightful little look into the funny things my Reagan says :)

P is for "P"resscott

We like to escape the super summer death heat for the 4th of July and this year we went to Prescott. We stayed in a the most delightful little cabin with Eric's parents and the Bradley's. The weather was perfecto though the fireworks were a little "eh" this year. Oh well, the fact that we were able to watch them in the cool air made it all worth it. Eric brought his tripod and took some incredible pictures of the light show :) I only added a few of my very most favorite, but it was hard to choose!!







We also got the chance to check out the absolutely adorable Heritage Zoo. The weather was nice and overcast and cool so all the animals for the most part were making an appearance. It was GRANDE!
