V is for visitors

Time has flown by. Holli is 27...oh my, and Loralye will be 1 month old tomorrow. We have been so blessed to have had so much help with our growing family. Here are some of our favorite moments.

Grandma Maryellen arrived and had quite the welcoming party.

Loralye's first trip to the zoo. I believe she was 10 days old.

The sea lions were a little scary for Lincoln. He had a death grip on Grandma.

A couple days later Papa arrived and we took him to the "beach". It was about 65 degrees, but we made the best of it.

Lincoln wanted to take off his swim trunks, luckily Papa convinced him otherwise. The nude beach was a couple miles up (for real , you all remember we live in Portland...right)

Loralye stayed in her carseat... this way we wouldn't drop another one of our children in the sand at the beach before they were 1 month old.

See having a second child isn't so bad because you know what NOT to do.

The Vogets arrived!!

Liconln and Kyle became best buds right away. Lincoln sure loves all of his Uncles!

Kyle holding Lincoln up to see our neighbors...chickens and ducks.

The Vogets were blown away with how big the sunflowers were.

Loralye giving kyle some tips on how to properly care for a newborn... Just love me and hold me close!

Aunt Jayla after Loralye's bath. Both Jayla and Kyle were naturals with the kids. They are going to be great parents.

I know I say this a lot, but look how cute my daughter is!!!

SPRINKLERS!!

Quick photo shout out to miss mae
Jayla and I with our babies. A moment that we dreamed of and planned our whole life, that became a reality due to Gods perfect planning.

See naturals...

Thanks again, Vogets. You made the week so fun and relaxing.

Margarita Monday 27th Birthday Celebration

Jason threw me the best birthday party, not because of our great friends that were there, or the fact that I was able to celebrate with my wonderful family complete with my two beautiful kids, but because the theme was margaritas!!

(please know I do not value tequila over my kids, I just really like a good margarita)

After I blew out the candles with Lincoln he stuck his face in the cake and took a bite. It does make sense, the only other time he had a cake in front of him that is how he ate it.

FLASHBACK MOMENT

(TEAR..i can't believe that was only a year ago)
