July 18 - Part 2 - Paige's Bridal Shower

Paige's Bridal Shower
On this day we celebrated Paige, my soon-to-be sister-in-law! Paige is sweet, funny, easy-going, pretty and super auntie material and sister-in-law material. I couldn't be happier w/the choice Steve made for his beautiful wife and addition to our family! We all just love her!

July 18 - Part 1 Swimming at the hotel pool

Daddy and Ryan were sick & we didn't want the rest of us getting sick, so they spent the night at a local hotel and that was a bonus for the girls the next day to swim in the hotel pool!

Miss Lisa, Amanda's preschool teacher, sent ice cream invitations to the kids for a mid-summer ice cream party at school and Amanda most thoroughly enjoyed herself!

Here we are trying to get a picture of Amanda and Miss Lisa, but she's too interested in her ice cream!


There we go, kinda.
