Berry picking for Lu's birthday (in July)

Lucy's request for her birthday was so go berry picking.  We got carried away and picked over 30 lbs!

 She got a new bike!

The 4th with Lindsey's and Muddamalle's

Well hi there sweet, drooly baby!

Henry was a little, completely obsessed with this helmet and Joel was nice enough to let him live out all his wildest fantasies by wearing it all day!

Nice move Lu!

Henry actually took it off long enough to let Ada get a picture in it

weirdo

Everyone, totally awestruck.  This picture actually isn't a fair representation at all.  The Lindseys do an AWESOME firework show, but I was too busy comforting my little girls in the greenhouse to take pics.  Thanks friends for an awesome 4th!

Cali trip

We got to go down to California for Nate's vacation.  We had many days at the beach, bike rides, good food, and good times with Granny.  This was a great time for our family.

Molly was always cold at the beach- sweetie girl needs more meat on her

Here's Granny at almost 99 years old!  The kids took turn getting "rides" on her walker- thrilling stuff.  They do love their Granny though!  We got to go out to a wonderful dinner with Lucy at Bocanova.  We always love our time with this amazing great granny.

 deconstructed tamale for Lucy- fancy stuff

Catherine's wedding

 What a privilege for our girls to be in Catherine and Daniel's wedding.  She has been so dear to our family and loves are children so well. They love her too!

Her hair just kills me
