The Best of Summer

Now that it is officially Fall, I wanted to recap the Best Moments of summer 2012!

We started out with a belated 30th birthday BBQ for my hubby! We worked hard the weekends before to get our deck addition done and get our yard ready for the summer.

Ella and all her friends enjoyed playing on her new structure.

After school let out we went over to McCall, Idaho for my best friend's wedding!

,

Ever since then, Ella has been obsessed with Weddings!

At the end of the month, we went to the track and field Olympic Trails here in Eugene.

For the 4th weekend, we went camping with our friends. I wish we could of went camping more this summer! I guess we were a little preoccupied with something else:) See below!

We were a complete failure at the kid's track meet. Ella was the only kid throwing a fit in the 50m race! Oh well, we'll try again next summer!

In July, we got ready for little sister to join our family.

Ella started sleeping in her big girl bed and couldn't be happier!

In August, we enjoyed our last moments of being a family of 3!

   The next day after these pictures were taken, I went into labor.

The BEST MOMENT of the summer was when Alivia Jo joined our family on August 10th!

It's hard to remember life without our little Livvy!

We spent the rest of August getting to know the sweetest baby ever.

September started with cheering on the Ducks. I love football season!

Alivia turned one month old! Ella has been a great big sister for the most part :)

Alivia has the prettiest big blue eyes! I hope they that stay blue, but if they change to brown like big sister's, I would be happy too!

My friends threw Alivia and I a party! Ella got this cute little doll that we call her cousin. We are SO EXCITED for her real cousin to come this November!

Love my girl!

Last Friday we had a little BBQ because Sara was in town. These little best buds roasted marshmallows together!

Last night, we had a special visit from the Binky Fairy! It was long overdue!

Ella helped me dictate this letter to her, she was very excited for her visit!

This morning, we came down to this left by the Binky Fairy. I was so proud of my girl, she went to bed with only snuggles from mom. This is huge, because she LOVED her binky  was OBSESSED with her binky!

What a wonderful summer! The main reason I do this blog is to document our lives for our girls! I hope they will see how much fun we have together and how much we love them!
