Cousin Love

Something I am getting used to and hope for every time I have some sort of family function is that my cousin Camie and her girls stay the night. So with the baby shower last weekend we had lots of cousin fun!

Allie's Baby Shower!

For those of you who don't know (can't believe this is even possible) I am becoming an Auntie in October and I am just a tad excited. ;) So of course I was throwing the baby shower! Here are some of the pics from the exciting day!

Play date & Photo Lesson

One of my long-time childhood friends was here for a visit, play date, and photo lesson. She also has two kiddos, Colton & Ella, who are absolutely adorable! We had lunch, jumped on the trampoline, & played in the sun. Jenn also brushed me up on using my camera manually (haven't done it since my class with Erin Cox). So I am going to now only shoot in manual mode every time I use my Nikon....or at least try. So bare with me on the photos. Only the girls were willing to have their pictures taken but that was ok. Jenn's usually the one behind the camera and I thought I got a couple of cute ones of her with Ella. Hopefully they will just get better and better. Thanks Jenn for all your help!

Clayton Beach

Andy and I decided to take the kids to Clayton Beach  for the day. It's just a little hike to get there but so worth it. Usually we have the whole beach to ourselves!

Fort Ebey

This year Andy decided to most of his vacation time at once so for this month we had Daddy home for 3 weeks! We kicked off his vacation with a 2 night Boy's Only Camping Trip to Fort Ebey. They had so much fun and great weather. Bella and I visited so we could have some campfire smores!
