Where Did the Summer Go?

First, we loved on the baby girl some more...







Then Ella and I went to Flagstaff (Oh how I love Flagstaff!).  We played with Lindsey and Tamara-two doting aunties.  

David fixed our car because he's a rock-star!


We missed Rachel-she joined us on our tour of campus by phone!



We made pie!  Yum...



We wandered around campus to see some of our old spots...








Next we went to Avila Beach near San Louis Obispo, CA.  Despite cold and windy conditions, Sam thoroughly enjoyed the beach!




After the beach, we got to play at Disneyland!!















Then Sam had a birthday...







A few weeks later, we enjoyed some time in the mountains.  Sam was in heaven fishing with Grandpa Grumpy!





He and Hailey also had fun looking for lizards and playing with the worms.

Then it was time for the first day of school!  He's getting so big!!!



Ella got to go to Utah with Mama and met Aunt Patsy and Great Grandma!


Then more loving on the baby and trying to get her to smile for the camera!





Then an amazing party for Ella - brought to us by Aunt Corynn and Aunt Laura and Grandma.

Mmmmm...pretty cupcakes!


This beautiful banner was made by the awesome Lindsey!




Thank you so much for the fun time!

We had a great summer!

  3. So much fun! Definitely jealous of the Disneyland trip. And Sam is looking so much older than a year ago! Hopefully I will get to meet Ella at Thanksgiving. She is a cutie and a perfect addition to your family!
