We had such fun with Jay and Jess at our house! Nora of course, was in heaven and I was grateful for the distraction from being pregnant and all the uncertainty of our upcoming life and happy for our family to be together!

 Cute photos like these don't hurt either! 

She loves Aunt Jess (way more than Uncle Jay-much to his dismay)

We went to Bull Creek for the morning one day with a picnic and it was lovely. Then I think everyone napped sufficiently well afterwards. Win win. 

Selfie stick skillz

I see a peek into the future here! :)

My brother still spoils me whenever we are together: opens car doors, pays for things, cleans my windows (and is constantly concerned for any and all danger in life-

I both LOVE and HATE this about him! haha)

Jess went back home and Jay stayed to see some friends for a few more days! Then we were lucky enough to get a little while longer with him so we "hiked" Mount Bonnell and it was beautiful! 

Love my brother! 

This picture is the ultimate "love me tiny human" photo.

And just two examples of Jay being an awesome uncle:

Thanks for visiting Jay and Jess! We love you! 

Fourth of July 2016

We love the Fourth of July! We started with our annual breakfast and fun at the Ashfords house! We always love that! Plus how cute are these little patriotic kiddos?

Cutest matching friends!!

Love this girl! 

 Cutest littles 

Then we headed to the pool and lunch and it was so fun! It obviously wore Nora out! So she napped and I headed to the airport to pick up Jay and Jess!! We were so excited to have them come visit! 

Nora was often skeptical of Uncle Jay but when she wasn't they were adorable together. 

He made her lots of pillow forts and played hide and seek etc. A great uncle. 

On the night of the Fourth we headed to Old Settler's park with some drinks and snacks to watch the fireworks. It was a gorgeous night!

FIREWORKS! 

Family time with the selfie stick!! I love these people. 

Nora was scared of the fireworks at first but eventually liked them- pointing at the colors and saying POP POP...POP POP POP. She sat in my lap the whole time though and I didn't mind :) 

It was a beautiful night and we didn't even get stuck in too much traffic on the way home!

God Bless America! 

Jay and Jess Rehearsal Dinner

The night before the wedding was the rehearsal dinner at the cutest restaurant on the water. We had a lovely dinner and I loved capturing some sweet moments.

Nora had fun dancing to Jay and Jess's video and it was so nice getting to know more of Jay and Jess's family and friends. I made their wedding video and Dad, Mom and Bonnie helped get me all the photos! Lots of family and friends helped pick music and they loved the surprise! Yay!

A beautiful evening! Now on to the wedding....

 She loved Mo. :)

 Dad gave a great toast! 

 Carol gave a sweet speech! 

 Cutest couple! 

 With my favorite brother!
