August rush....

Summer is almost over, but we're not slowing down yet! It seems like August hasn't been any less busy than July. Who thought that would be possible? We're squeezing in all of our summer activities and outside fun while it's still warm (or HOT) out. I'm honestly getting a little bit burned out the past week or so of Summer. Mostly, it's just because it's exhausting, and really hot. I have to soak it all up though, because before we know it the snow will fly again and we'll all be quarantined indoors surviving cold and flu season...bleck. On that depressing note, here's what our August has consisted of so far....how is it possible this was all in two weeks' time?


 Birthday Celebrating.....but I only took one picture: my Banana pie with Vanilla Bean custard filling
In my defense, Jed couldn't make it to the party, so I had my hands more full than usual.
I know, we all know that I would have taken that photo regardless...if you could taste the pie via the interenets you'd understand.

 Weller/Keller Wedding
It's just too fun to say Kelsey Keller Weller....that's the bride of Jed's cousin, Brian. I didn't get a good enough picture of them to post, but she looked gorgeous and it was a great day!

The Logan Temple is so pretty....

Addie loves Tristan

Jed's aunt Tami, cousin Jenny and her cute daughter Mia

They had their luncheon at Cafe Sabor, which was delicious. I'm always up for fajitas, fruity frozen drinks and decadent chocolate cake. My children even behaved rather well. Awesome

 We had a few hours to kill between the luncheon and reception, but didn't want to make the drive twice, so we went to the Willow Park Zoo and playground. It was HOT, but thankfully there was a lot of shady places to sit and for Dalton to roll around. Speaking of, look at these eyes....
No wonder I'm madly in love with this boy.

Oh, and look at those chubby legs!
I have to seriously force myself to not eat those rolls every day. He was so good that day. Gosh, what a sweetie. It was a 13-hour day and he was content and sweet and good. 

 The reception was at the American Heritage Center in Wellsville. What a fun place. Addie loved that we got to ride in a "carriage" pulled by horses back to the place it was held.....she also loved this aspect:
Super cute candy station. Lexi, Kelsey's little sister filled like 3 bags of candy for Addie before the night was  over. We also enjoyed some Coldstone ice cream. Good job guys; your reception was a kid's dream (who am I kidding, I was loving it too! Four words, Salted caramel ice cream)


Addie and Mia danced the night away

Ah, Wellsville is pretty isn't it?

The next morning, I helped my mom throw Whitney a baby shower.
Once again, I took a picture of the treat I made and then didn't pick my camera back up.
In my defense...um, I was talking a lot? 
Stay tuned though, because I have better pictures than a baby shower...the actual baby!
London arrived last night and I've got a whole bunch of cuteness waiting to be blogged.

 Lagoon!
We had a last minute Lagoon day last week when my friend scored some seriously discounted tickets. 
Addie loved it! It was HOT (have I typed that like 5 times now?) We had a blast though. Ash and Ian live like 10 minutes away and they met up with us and played and helped with the kids. Addie's favorite ride was the "roller coaster" aka puff. Brave kid. I was a whimp when I was little and wouldn't go near it. Don't worry, I overcame my fear and went with her ;)

Dalton, was once again, a trooper. He decided to take a little cat nap on the train. Jealous.

Addie and Ian on Odyssey. Cool ride. LONG line.

 Later that night (yes the same day) I hosted our annual SYTYCD Finale party.
I borrowed my mom and Danny's basement and giant TV. We kinda watched, but mostly talked, ate, talked, ate more then talked more. 
Bless Danny's heart lol....he joked that he could hear Megan from down the street.....

Some full moonlit boating


There are no words. It's perfection.

Emmett turned 1! I can't believe it's been a year since our cute nephew was born.
Isn't he adorable?!

Happy Birthday, Emmett!

That about wraps up the past two weeks! Goodness, I'm kind of tired just reliving it :) One more thing and then I'll end this post before it gets even longer. Addie steals my camera daily and takes pictures with it. Here's what she took this morning while I was upstairs....


Impressive, no? Lol, she's funny. I literally deleted 29 photos off my camera last week that she took.

So many things to say!

1. You need to start a bakery someday. Pictures of your treats make me drool.

2. I need to meet Dalton before he grows out of those amazing chub rolls.

3. Logan is my favorite and Cafe Sabor is delicious!!!

Note to self - next time sit up straight for the picture. Oy. That angle is not flattering. And I just tell myself that Danny says such things out of love :)
