There are so many events that happened this last summer which I didn't capture on this blog. Thought I would just post some pics and quick snippets for fun :) Better late than never, right?!
Faith's FOURTH birthday! Had an "Ariel" party at a local gymnastics gym here. She had a blast with all her friends!
Trying out the balance beam at her party
Mommy and Daddy got Faith a princess BIKE for her birthday! Quite a hit :) Complete with bell and carriage :)
Kids hanging out on the trampoline at the party
Biggest kid at the party having fun in the foam pit :)
This summer our little family also went on our first overnight camping adventure. Aside from having smores too late at night (which resulted in a very energetic almost 2 year old) it was a great success. We look forward to doing it more next year!
smores...yum!
Faith had her first dance recital where she performed with her ballet class to "You are My Flower" All the girls did awesome. It was so fun to watch. Faith even blew a kiss to the (packed) audience at the end :)
Gigi and Aunt Ally came for the performance!
Back to IA for cabin week! LOTS of fun at cabin week....swimming, eating, games...it was a blast.
Also back home to IA for Kristy's graduation! Woo hoo! Graduated with her RN. So proud of her.
Grandma, Grandpa and Tucker came for a weekend visit towards the end of summer too. Great to have them here.
Our last trip of the summer was to OK before school started. Gigi and Papaw had new kittens that the girls (well, all of us really) loved to pet. The kittens were so sweet and their mamma even sweeter.

Gigi opening her birthday card and finding out about her big surprise TRIP to Prince Edward Island!!!
While in OK we also celebrated Lainie's SECOND birthday! Where is the time going?! It was a Dora theme. She loved the cake and especially the frosting :)
Our sweet 2 year old.
Smash cake all to herself!
Opening gifts from the family :)

"Miss Kitty" is the kitten's mommy. The girls loved getting to pet her too
Trip to the aquarium! So fun...and a great lift for Lainie :)

Kisses before we headed out!
Uncle Dylan also graduated from high school in May, but it was a quick weekend trip, and I didn't get any pics! Thankful we got to be there for his graduation party too!!
It was a busy summer full of traveling and family fun!
