Last real pool day of the summer . . . .

It is always so sad to close the pool. We all just have such a nice time hanging out together! Levi and Maddie were really the only people who could stand how cold the water was this late in the season . . .

Love his smile!

Maddie crashed out basically sitting up on her TerryNeil's lap.

He looks like he is up to something here . . . .

Maddie loves lounging on the stairs!

Madelyn's Birthday

We all got together to celebrate Maddie's second birthday on October 3rd. She was surrounded with wonderful family and great friends.

Happy Birthday Madelyn! I love you!

This is the beautiful cake that Trevor's mom made for Maddie! Too cute!

This is my absolute favorite picture from the day. Notice the look on Maddie's face exactly matches the one on her mom's face . . .

Sweet, sweet MaCallen McMillian. Loving the hat!

Beautiful Olivia! Cake smeared face and all!

Little Pumpkin is turning TWO!!

Madelyn is turning two on October 1st, so we took a few pictures for her birthday party invitations. You should have seen Erin and I running around trying to make her laugh so we could get the perfect picture!

This one is my favorite - you can see the happiness pour out of her!

This one ended up on her invitations - sooo cute!

Levi!

Levi, Mickey and Amanda are usually at Sunday Supper at my mom's every week. I am so thankful to have them in my life - they all three of them bring so much joy! Here are a few pictures of Levi being his cute self!

Happy Birthday Bear and Allen!

So, Jeremy and Allen have the same birthday (August 9th) and we decided to have a few friends over to the pool to hang out. I was trying to figure out a way to do two separate cakes for them . . . and the idea for the BOOB cake was born. It took me at least an hour to get the flesh colored frosting just right using red and yellow food coloring. I think it was a success! If nothing else, we all got a good laugh out of it! I think Erin did a great job "modeling" it.

Dashiki

Anytime I do laundry, Dash waits at the top of the steps for me to bring the basket of hot clothes up. The second I set the basket down, he is digging in the clean white towels to find the perfect spot! Sometimes he gets so hot in all of those towels that he starts to pant and we have to fish him out. That dog is crazy . . . but I love, love, love him!

Pineapple Princess Indeed

Rachel had Ava's birthday party over the weekend. The theme was Pineapple Princess Luau - so much fun! We had a limbo contest, great food, pineapple cupcakes and lots of laughs!

Here is Ava with two of her besties - Ava Marie and Schuyler - playing limo! Apparently it is next to impossible to get a good picture of all three of them together . . .

I love this picture because we all have the same expression on our faces.

The cutie-patootie Doughty family . . .

Sweet Barett - he is the perfect combination of his parents Scott and Jenelle in looks and personality! Love his adorable face and sweet smile!
