The park olympics

Our family didn't watch a lot of okympics because we don't have cable- but the girls saw enough gymnastics to know you need to be amazing to win the gold. 

So there they go. Flips and kicks and spins to try and win the gold medal from the park. Good thing there actually wasn't a metal becaus they were all so awesome. 

Adventures

One of the best things about having Devyn live in Napa this summer was all the adventures we went one. This adventure to Alston park was where it took us one hour to walk one mile. Oh the joys of fussy kids!

Relay for life

I had a crazy work schedule this year, but  a bunch of friends and I participated in the Napa relay for life to raise money for cancer research. I only got to spend an hour and a half there but it was so much fun. Next year I am totally bringing the whole family. 

6 flags

About a month ago Devyn and I took the kids to 6 flags. It was hot and the kids got tired quick, but we had a blast for those 3+ hours. I have season passes and we get people in free so thankfully we didn't have to stay all day to make it worth it. 

Mac was actually quite obsessed with roller coasters. 

Thanks to auntie Devyn- without her we might have been home after we got off the shuttle. 

Superman and little sister

Sometimes we get a little crazy at home!

The chair

Shelby's new favorite place to hang out is in this silly little chair Ryann got from her teacher at the end of the school year last year.  She loves it because she can climb up it herself. It also makes it easier for my monthly picture!

We made it!

I successfully made it to nursing each of my babies to the one year mark. 

I took a picture nursing at church to document the occasion.  

Float Mingo

Trying a little early for our Christmas card picture this year. 

Happy first birthday Shelby!!

This little girl is too much to handle. Her birthday party was a blast. Flamingo themed and pink and gold everything. 

We had her favorite foods- watermelon and pizza!

At one year old Shelby has 4 teeth, curly red hair, 1 dimple, loves to stand up and walk holding your hand, hates vegetables, no more bottles, nurses 2-4 times a day, sleeps at least 12 hours a night with 2 naps each day, weighs about 18 pounds, and is such a joy to be around. 

She is super ticklish, loves her siblings, loves to make messes- and purposefully makes messes! We have often found her playing in the toilet and with toilet paper. Yikes. 

She only says a couple words but loves to talk and yell and copy the sounds that you make. 

We love our Shelby shelbs. 

Another birthday

We picked out special flowers for grandma great's birthday a couple weeks ago. 

We sure miss her. 

But we are also thankful every day for her and the amazing life that she lived. I am so happy to know that families can be together forever. What a sweet and simple truth.
