Multnomah Falls

A wedding reception in Washington gave us the perfect excuse to take a vacation.

About 2 hours into Oregon Mike was ready to move there!

We made it to Multnomah Falls just before dark...

We ran {literally} up to the bridge to catch a picture before it was too late.

Can you see us?

We are waving...

just in case you couldn't tell.

Then we ran right back down.

The American Idol finally was on...

{I♥Kris}

More on our Oregon/Washington trip - SOON!

Hitched!

My little brother married this cute girl

for time and all eternity last month.

We couldn't be happier!

Their day was perfect!
I happily dressed my kids in hot pink and orange.

The kids happily played with their uncles most of the day.

The highlight of the evening

{beside the chocolate fountain}

was this little guy...
He climbed up on Uncle Chaddy,

got all ready...
and actually caught the garter!

Wasn't too happy about all the attention it got him though!

Moments like these...

they do my heart good!

Congrats Daniel and Mallory!

Dancer Girls*

We now have 2 dancers in the family -

twice the fun,

twice the talent,

twice the flowers!

Adilynn danced to "I Wanna Be Like You" from Jungle Book for the year end recital this year.

She is getting to be quite the dancer and loves every minute of it.

Her favorite part is always getting dressed up and performing on stage but her teacher, Miss Amber, came in a close second this year - she was so fun!

Miss Paislee was the CUTEST little orphan as she performed to "Hard Knock Life" from Annie.

This girl would {honestly} go to dance class EVERY day of her life if we'd let her!

And she's pretty good, ya know, for being 2 and all.

*please ignore photo quality - I might've forgotten to change the camera setting, OOPS!

{deep breath} Here we go!

Its been over a month...

in no part due to lack of material,

more so - an OVERLOAD.

We've been busy 'round here!

So, here goes the first attempt at playing catch up...

This girl is sporting a new do...

After like 2ish years of growing it out....

her hair finally hit the 8+ inches she needed to be able to donate it!

We happily dropped this baby in the mail,

in hopes of helping a {really small} child in need of it!
