:: My very own Orange Beetle! ::

:: This is one of Jacob's 1st birthday gifts from my Auntie Terri. Paul got it all hooked up on a tree in our front yard and he loves it! I took these pics from inside the house, he was hanging in his swing while Paul was doing work in the driveway...he was completely content! ::

:: Bye-Bye Uncle & Auntie ::

:: Jordan and Lindsey left for Europe on Monday, so we met them at White Spot for lunch to wish them a fond farewell :: :: We miss you but sure hope you're having fun ::

:: Cultus Lake ::

:: This last weekend we spent all day Saturday & Sunday at Cultus Lake - it was beautiful! And a great way to spend a long weekend if you can't go away! :::: Paul & Jacob enjoying the water :: :: Shawn, Kristin & the kids came up for a few hours and enjoyed messing around in the water and sand - here is Kyle and Braden playing around ::
:: Our friends Grant & Jen also came up for the day on Saturday - here are their kids Lauren & Luke also playing in the sand ::
:: Our little mister enjoying the sand ::

:: Jacob & Daddy walking to the water to play with shovels, such boys! :: :: Madelyne enjoying the sun ::
:: Everyone waiting around for lunch (FYI: Jen is also expecting in October - she's the one sitting across from Paul on the picnic table) ::
:: What would a day out be without a self portrait!?!?! ::

:: Jacob splashing around ::
:: How cute, huh? ::
:: On Sunday Grammie & Grampy also came up to visit us at the lake, it was great to have them there to play! ::

:: Showers of Blessings ::

:: I hosted, along with Lisa's Aunty Cheryl a shower for her last Thursday (hence the fact that I haven't been on here!)...here is a picture of the bride (post treasure hunt @ the mall) ::

:: The room once Lisa arrived :: :: Lisa opening some gifts - me drooling over her stash! ::
:: The table full of treats - Cheryl did all the food, it was AMAZING! :: :: Lisa and one of her flower girls, Sydney :::: The sign I made with the help of Kristin's scrapbooking supplies ::
:: The room from the opposite end - I think we had about 45 people at the shower, it was such a great night full of food & fellowship! ::
