Lewisville Park

We spent Labor Day at Lewisville park picnicking with our friends the Hellners (they are expecting a little boy, and Maddox can't wait to have a new buddy). The weather was a tad chilly, but it didn't rain so we were lucky. Maddox had a great time playing in the park. This was the first time we visited a park and he was actually able to climb and explore all the toys.

He climbed all these stairs by himself and then pulled himself up on the rail. I can't believe how strong he is! Not too much longer and he will be running all over the place.

The swings were a BIG hit!

Canby Dahlia Festival

The first weekend in September we headed to Canby to check out the Dahlia Festival. This particular farm is the nations largest distributor of dahlias and they had some blooms that measured bigger than 12 inches across. The flowers were beautiful and it was really fun to check out something new. Both Trey and I love dahlias; his grandparents own a dahlia farm in Battleground and we used their flowers at our wedding.

Maddox may have been a little more interested in the dirt than the flowers.

TOYS!!!

Our sweet little boy is growing up so fast! Everyday he is becoming more mobile and is exploring new things. He started doing a sweet army crawl at the beginning of August and within this last week he has perfected his crawling skills and now crawls solely on his knees. He is definitely a boy and loves to climb, dig and bang things around. He makes everyday a new adventure for his Mom and Dad and we love him more than anything!

SUCCESS!!!

A Bridal Shower for a Beautiful Bride to Be

My best friend Jessica is getting married on 10/2 (only one week to go!) and at the end of August we had her bridal shower out at the Buhman farm. The shower was early in the day and we had a lot of fantastic brunch favorites. The weather was great and the company was even better. With a little hard work the party looked like it came straight from a magazine (way to go girls!). Here is the bridal party (minus Lisa :( ). I love these girls and am very lucky to have them as friends!

Trey is another year older........

This last August Trey turned 27. It was a hard birthday for him, some might even consider it mini mid-life crisis, but thanks to his wonderful wife (yep, that's me) he had the best birthday party! The night started with a fantastic bbq (thanks to Jesse for cooking up the steak and chicken) and then we moved on to the main event.....games inspired by Minute to Win It! I don't think I have ever heard a group of people laugh so hard! It was so much fun and I think by the end of the night Trey's spirits were greatly improved. Thanks to all who celebrated with us! Check out these great action shots.......

The Walter's Reception

Our friends Ashley and Geoffrey tied the knot this last May on the beach in Hawaii. They had a fabulous reception in July for us all to celebrate with them. The reception was out in Washougal and guests were encouraged to camp out for the night. This was the first night that Trey and both left Maddox for the evening (he had a slumber party with Grandma Barb) and while it was hard we had a great time celebrating with our friends. The night was filled with food, dancing, beer pong and the Ring of Fire of course.

Congratulations to the happy couple!!

The boys, it was so nice to get a picture of all of them together!

Trey and I having a little too much fun.

The happy couple
