 Love these two!

 Jammin out!

 My beauty

And one tired Rylin fast asleep! We are on a whirl wind of enjoying summer! Hope this find you all happy and healthy and enjoying summer yourselves!

Last day of school!

 How does time go so fast?! It is not fair that these kids are growing up so fast. Adrienne will now be in 8th grade! 8th!

 Rylin will be half day Preschool and half day Kindergarten! My baby!

 And my anti photo darling will be in first grade! Ahh!

If these are not totally Lane I don't know what is! lol Love him, love them all! Happy summer everyone, I know ours will go way too fast and I will have to send these amazing kids back to school. I wish I could have them home everyday! : (

Rowray Wedding!!!

 Amanda and Chads wedding went perfect. It was a blast and I feel honored to have gotten to share the day. The girls had so much fun getting all dolled up and they looked so great!

 Grandma Cheri made all the girls dresses and they were SO fun to dance in!

 Cousins!

 Lane is the king of getting out of the way of the camera! Photos of him are few : (

 Thank you Emily for taking these pictures! Love them! Rylin in the top photo cracked me up so I had to include it!

 How do you choose just one to frame??

 Joe looking dreamy...<3 p="">

 Precious Claire!

 And at the end of a long day and night of dancing their hearts out they crashed in minutes! Wish I could have slowed the day down. Kids are already talking about when the next person gets married and dancing at their wedding. *cough* : )

Love you Amanda and Chad and congrats on married life. It will be wonderful, hard, fun, heartbreaking, easy, a struggle. In the end it is always worth it. All you accomplish will be so fun to look back on, and even some of the struggles you face a long the way. Looking back and seeing all you have been though is pretty amazing. And as cliche as it sounds love does grow and you will love each other more as time goes on. : )

Concert

For Adrienne's last concert of the year they did a rendition of Annie and they had to dress as homeless people. It was a really fun musical based concert, best I have ever been too! The kids did great and Adrienne got a little bit of a solo so that was fun as well! We were lucky enough to have Uncle Andy home to go to it with us!

 Love Rylins face in the photo above...

 Who knew she was so cute with 'dirt' all over her face ; )

Piano Recital

 Adrienne had her piano recital on my Sunday to work so I missed it : ( But she did great and to a little trophy!

 Very proud of how quickly she catches on. She plays her guitar she got for Christmas by ear as well. Did not get that talent from me! : )

The Party!

 Adrienne had it all planned out! I didn't even get to make the cake : ( She is an amazing job if I do say so myself! It was months in the planning and many drawings later here it is!

 Complete with a bottle of nail polish and lipstick make out of fondant.

 We had a crazy good turn out and a packed house! 11 total with 10 spending the night. Half way through I wanted to run away to a quiet room and thought I must be crazy to have allowed this to be an over night party lol, but I survived......barely.  : )

 $100 worth of Caseys pizza and numerous 2 liters of soda later everyone was fed and it was onto gifts.

 She got lots of fun stuff!

 Cake time was messy fun. Like having toddlers with food. I had to clean the floor when they were done. lol Thankful for a house full of hard floors now!

Photo bombed by her friends! The next morning we woke up and had a huge breakfast of 18 eggs, a box of pancake mix, several rolls of breakfast sausage and a pack of bacon and they finished it all off minus a few pancakes. I was in aww of how much these growing kids could eat and feared running out of food. In the end it was so much fun and no one went away hungry! Most importantly Adrienne had the wonderful party she had planned for months!

My baby girl

 Finally doing the post I tried to do for Adriennes Birthday! Wanted to share some photos that I love from her first days and months. The top photo is from when we were re-admitted for her jaundice and I could only hold her when she needed to nurse. But the nurse snapped this picture for me when she started sucking her thumb while getting burped. Sad to say I still have those sweat pants! lol

 This is also from our second hospital stay. You were not really mine for a good 2 weeks, a long 2 weeks.

 The first time Ben got to hold you. I picked him up from daycare on the way home from the hospital. Note the dirt on his hands and face! But he was the proudest Uncle ever! Lucky he didn't drop you!

Look at those big blue eyes! You were always a pretty little thing! I can't believe those days passed so fast! Happy Birthday Adrienne Love you!
