Okay, so I realize that this is more of a photo gallery, than a blog...but I guess pictures say a thousand words, right?

Well, as you know Megan and Mike got married last month and I just had to share this awesome picture that the photographer captured before the ceremony.

Tate's birthday

My baby is 1! Isn't he just the most precious?

Bennett is such a great big brother. This is him stirring up the jello for Tate's party. He really wanted to help, and he did!

Grandma made Tate his very own teddy bear cake. For some reason he knew just what to do with cake! I think it's in his blood:)

oopsies, what happened?

Sticking his tongue out for the camera...

Meg's wedding (oops, a month ago!)

Megan and Mike are married!


10 adults, 6 kids, nobody crying - a true miracle!


One of the most handsome little guys in the world!


Auntie Megan and her adorable nieces and nephews (note Tate's enthusiasm on the far left:)

Aren't all my guys so handsome?

Vegas, Baby!

About a month ago, 6 of us went on a trip to Las Vegas. Megan thought she was going on a trip with Kalene and Amanda, just the 3 of them. Well, when she got to the airport, Erin was there. I think Megan even shed a tear of joy. She was so excited about the surprise. Little did she know that when she got to her hotel, Todd and I would be waiting for her there as well! It was such a fun weekend. I can't wait to go back again someday!

Camping

Mom and Dad came down for a weekend camping trip on Labour Day weekend. We had such night weather. Bike rides, fishing, walks and good food just added to the fun weekend.

Summer...ya, I know, a little late:)

The last weekend of August we made a somewhat quick trip out to Washington to visit Dale's family. We had such a good time. The weather was really nice - 4-wheeling, canoeing and visiting with Grandpa, Grandma and Auntie Denise.

PICTURES!

The cake I ended up making.



How Tate often wakes up in the morning....with Bennett hopping in the crib!

His first taste of food - rice cereal....yum!
