summer sizzlin’

What’ve we been up to?  Just a few things.  Ya know. Here.  There.  The pool.  Stayin’ cool.  And lovin’ lazy summer days.

The church picnic…and face painting!

The Crayola Factory and NYC with the Watanabes (our besties from Arizona – how awesome to be in such a great city with great friends! We had so much fun!)

The splash park in our town and taking in a show at the local theater.

WATER ICE!

Picking Strawberries…and eating them…and making lots and lots of jam.

Watching Hudson play baseball.

Watching fireworks and being with family.

Celebrating a beautiful 13 years of marriage.

And celebrating our crazy chaos…because it’s beautiful. 

That’s our summer thus far….and it IS beautiful.

Hadleigh’s ONE!

Hadleigh officially turns one year old today.  Honestly, it’s hard to believe – A LOT hard to believe…this past year with her has flown by.  The task to put to words the joy that she has brought to our family is daunting and I can’t even begin to try.  So I will share her birthday party from this past weekend in pictorial form.  It’s easier that way – sometimes pictures do tell the story; not a lot of words will be necessary.

Happy Birthday sweetest girl…
