So much has happened this summer that we haven't captured on our blog yet. To make it quicker, here are pictures from events that happened, and captions to go along. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words! Enjoy!

precious laugh

The other night Andrew was acting super giddy and Mike was able to get him to laugh and laugh. This is the first time he has laughed from something other than being tickled. It sure warms my heart! .

friends again!

My goodness! I uploaded these pictures and video forever ago, but never got around to writing the post! So here is an update on pictures that aren't quite so updated anymore. We have some good friends from the good ole Y that have moved out to a nearby city! Yeah! We are so excited to have them close by now! Below are some pictures of Joseph and their daughter Millie back when Joseph was almost one.

And now here are the two little munchkins almost exactly one year later! What a fun reunion! I thought they were both cute then, but I gotta say I think they even cuter and more fun now!

And here is our little baby who is starting to look more like a toddler! I think he was four months here, and at his four month appointment he was 18 pounds 6 ounces, and was 28.5 inches long! The other day I weighed him on our scale, and he was 19 pounds! He just keeps growing! It's fantastic!

Mike loves playing "soccer" with Joseph, and Joseph loves playing it as well. At times he just runs around and kicks the ball! So excited that I just found out from a friend about Lil' Kickers! We signed Joseph up and he will start the end of August. Mike took Joseph to go check it out, and Joseph cried as they left because he wanted "soccer." Little Michael Jr. in the making? Guess we'll see!

 

And here is another cute brother picture. It is fun how often Joseph will lay down next to Andrew, and Andrew always gives him a big smile. There is definitely much love between these two boys!

happy day!

Three years ago today a very special event took place. I got married to my best friend and handsome hubby! And to that I have to say:

It has been three amazing years! We have lived in three different apartments, moved 1400 miles, gone from living in 600 sq ft to 1600 sq ft (thank goodness for that increase!), been blessed with two beautiful and sweet little boys, and have cherished so many memories along the way. Thank you for being such a wonderful husband, friend and father. I cannot imagine life without you. These three years have flown by, and I feel like I have known you my whole life. I am so excited to have someone so amazing to be with forever. I love you hunnie!

I have to reminisce with pictures from that amazingly wonderful day. Everything was just perfect, but mainly because I was getting married to a practically perfect person.

And of course I have to include a kissing picture, just to make him blush!

Look at what cute little boys we have! They sure love their daddy!
