8 Years

We went to Centennial Lakes Park again this year for a picnic to celebrate our anniversary. It was a perfect evening of eating Five Guys, running around, rolling down hills, laying in the grass, swinging & shoulder rides. Thank you Gabe making this such a wonderful life together.

Music in the Park

The kids had a great time seeing Uncle Rylan & Aunt Elizabeth on their visit. We had a fun afternoon together at Centennial Lakes Music in the Park. It took Campbell a little bit to warm up, but Elizabeth got her dancing.

Uncle Rylan patiently feeding Blake tiny pieces of a fruit strip.

 Stopping to smell the roses.

River Walk

We met Grant, Dede, Ry, Elizabeth, Rachel & Matt for a delicious dinner at Pizza Luce. Campbell fell asleep on the drive & amazingly stayed sleeping as Gabe carried her into the restaurant and slept on his lap until the very end of dinner. (It was quite a big day with Splash Pad in the morning and a play in the afternoon.)

 Blake thought he was pretty funny when he kept putting his bowl on his head.

I can't believe it's taken us this long to go exploring along the river. The views were amazing! It was a perfect summer night shared with family.

Willie Wonka

Campbell & I met our friends K, L & C for another great play. Thanks to K's photoshop magic, we have a great picture that looks like it was taken while the play was going on. We'll definitely save our friends their spots for their return from their big adventure. The boys will be old enough to come along by then so we better get some more seats!

Happy Bday Gabe!

The kids were very excited about Daddy's birthday. Campbell helped me make a cake & picked out the Dora wrapping paper for the gifts. We had a nice dinner together as a family & then thanks to Angie coming over to watch the kids, we actually got to GO OUT to a movie!

Dipping Our Toes

We met our friends K, L & C at Lake Rebecca Park for a picnic. I got terribly lost going out there - thanks for nothing Google Maps, maybe this is a sign that it's finally time for a GPS? But it was worth it, the kids had a great time.

Blake's tongue cracks me up. Don't worry, he does it all the time now, not just for pictures.

The boys. It makes me a bit sad to think these little guys will be old...like 4 or so when our friends return from their big move across the pond. We'll definitely miss you guys!

The girls *just* dipping their toes.

Siblings

As soon as Blake saw Campbell this morning he trucked on over to her & gave her a hug. It was perhaps the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Although it did cause Campbell to lose her balance so she fell backwards - pulling Blake down with her and then she hit her head on the wall.
