Morgan's Wedding

My cousin Morgan had a beautiful outdoor wedding while we were in Idaho. Here are some snapshots of after the wedding.

I took Aubrey to Dad's pickup because she was getting fussy and had to pull out the camera for this sweet smile.

Uh oh, looks like trouble brewing with Bryce and Woodson near the tree...

Louis is going to have to go through all the apple trees to remove these pebbles!

Activities in Idaho

 Four-wheeling at Mesa Falls. Aubrey and I stayed at the car and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the trees.

 The kids and I went with my family to Jenny Lake, on the other side of Jackson, WY. It was so beautiful and we had fun on a little hike and watching Bryce and Woodson play in the water in their underwear (sorry, no pictures).

Bryce fell asleep watching TV with Aunt Claire

And Aubrey fell asleep on Grandma Donnetta's shoulder. Ah... peace and quiet for me for a bit.
It was wonderful to be at home for a while. We really had a great time.



Aubrey's Blessing in Idaho

 I love the smile on Aubrey's face in this picture. The dress is the blessing dress all of my sisters and I were blessed in and my sister Elyse made the headband and found the shoes. My family members were lifesavers getting everything ready for the blessing since we arrived in Idaho the night before! THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

More Aubrey and Bryce

 2 weeks

 Bryce picked out this cute outfit for Aubrey when I asked him to get some clothes for her. What a good helper he is! (most of the time)

He took this pictures of himself! Pretty good if you ask me!

Zoo

Some friend of ours invited us to the zoo with them last Saturday. It was a perfect day--not too hot, and we had a great time!

Aunt Claire is Here!

 My sister Claire was able to come out for a visit and to help me out while Jess was out of town for a conference. It was sooo good to have her visit and I wish she could have stayed longer!

At the neighborhood pool

We took Jess to the Louisville airport and then spent some time seeing Louisville--Claire's pick was to go to Churchill Downs. The kids did great, thank goodness!

Bryce loved having Aunt Claire here and so did I! He had someone else to jump on!

Baby Shower

 Wonderful friends of mine here in Cincinnati put together a lovely baby shower for little Aubrey. It was a lot of fun!

I am so impressed--Rebecca painted these rooms in her house during the day and hosted the shower that evening!

Jen, a fellow nurse, guessed closest in my favorite game of cutting a piece of yarn as large around as you guess the pregnant belly is.

Thank you so much ladies and kiddos!!!
