The Lego Store- this one's for Parker

On the way to pick up Jeremy's tux for Joe & Meghan's wedding in New Jersey, we spotted a Lego competition in the mall. We were SO bummed that Parker missed it!

The Lego Store- there's only a handful of these on the east coast.


Wonder how much this one costs?

R2D2, Lego-style.

How cute is the Princess Lea with the bikini!?!

We filled a bucket with miscellaneous and specialty legos for Parker. Some kids in the store helped us with the selection process.

This one was lego man parts....a la Frankenstein!

This set is about $500.

Love the bug!!

Views of the store...

Kids staring in awe at the selection.....

10 Years!

Jeremy & I celebrated 10 years of marriage on August 7th. We made kind of a big deal out of it. We decorated the house with candles, bought commemorative champagne flutes, exchanged new wedding rings, and pledged our love to each other for another ten years.....

Bling!



It's not a vow renewal without some (cup)cake!

Jeremy loved the figurine I bought of the couple embracing.

It was a very romantic evening-- it couldn't have been more perfect!!

Eric & Courtney's Wedding- August 2nd

Eric, Rach & Parker, just before the ceremony....they were enjoying the air conditioning as long as possible! It was 102 degrees that day.

Crazy cousins....

Hey Grandma, we match!

Eric & Courtney!

Ava!

Introducing Trish & Jeremy's daughter, Ava. There's no one quite like her. We think she was a fairy in her past life-- her blue eyes glow and that hair of hers is impossibly white. Oh, and she has a pointed ear. She is especially precious because her parents worked so hard to bring her into this world.

Cassia!

This little one is small but mighty!! Just 10 pounds, but determined to stand on her own two feet as much as possible. She's four months old and rolling over already. She may also be plotting to take over the world.

Addie Part II

It's tough to keep those blonde tresses under control!

Addie!

This is my oldest niece, Addie. She entertained me for 3 days in Utah last week. Her mom was kind enough to let me hog her up and even babysit, despite the fact that I couldn't remember simple instructions about nap/feeding time. Luckily, she survived the ordeal.
