Summer has finally come to an end.

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. Things have been super busy around here, and the site keeps kicking me off when I try to edit. So the pictures are out of order but still fun.

This past summer the Edmundson's came to visit, and we were able to hang out, celebrate the 4th of July, visit Sea World, and take in a show at the park. We had a really nice visit and look forward to the next.

Funny Lily...

Here's a quick Lily funny from dinner this evening.

"My nose is itchy cause I have a booger in my ear that I need to floss out."

We've got crabs...

Our neighbors daughter headed off to college a couple of weeks ago and we inherited her hermit crab and setup. We added a couple more for fun. So now we have Crabby Patty, who is on top of the palm tree. Gary, not pictured, and Hannah Montana-Miley Ray Cyrus-Lewis in the patriotic shell.

Gymnastics

Natalie's summer gymnastics class wrapped up this past week. She had a really good time and her flexibility and balance improved greatly as well as some tumbling.
They also worked on strength training. Although not pictured Natalie is able to climb half way up the rope. Makes my hands hurt just thinking about it.

I like this picture. The girls were definately more serious about gymnastics than their male counterpart. ( :


Beginners vault practice.

Mani - Pedi

Before Nana and Papa had to head back to Oregon we split up to have some fun. Scott, Papa, and Lily went down to Cabella's to do all things manly. While Natalie, Nana, and I went and had our nails done. It was a ton of fun and Natalie did a really good job holding still. She enjoyed it a lot. In case you can't tell she picked red for her toes and purple for her fingers. Good solid choices. ; )

Lily's 3rd Birthday part II

Okay I found the rest of the pictures....

Lily had a great party!

Lily's 3rd B-day part I

Lily decided that this year she wanted a Thomas birthday party. I found this Thomas tutorial online that showed us how to make a 3-d Thomas cake! So five people and two days later Lily had the best cake ever! (I can't seem to find the "middle" pictures at the moment so when I do I will post them.)
