Laekin turned 3 on September 10th! It was really fun to celebrate with her since she really understood that it was her birthday! For the first time I got to reminisce with Laekin about the day she was born. We looked at pictures together from her Birth Day as she kept saying "I was a tiny baby". That evening we got Sprinkles cupcakes and she got to open her Princess bike! She was so excited and has loved riding her big girl bike.

A couple days later we had our families down for a pool party and BBQ. My mom made a great cake. Laekin loves everything princess at the moment and she got lots of princess gifts!. She also got her first "pet" from her Auntie. It is a Beta fish that Laekin named "Dora" (we will save her for another post!). It was a great day and we enjoyed celebrating the 3 amazing years that Laekin has been a part of our lives.

Sum Sum Summertime

We have had a wonderful summer and have definitely enjoyed the outdoors the last couple of months. And I (Jen), though it is September, will refuse to say goodbye to summer... until it is official (September 21st). Back in July and August we went on vacation to Lake Topaz and Lake Tahoe. We spent lots of family time together: the first week with Jen's family and the 2nd week with Jeremy's family. Jen and Micah then flew to Chicago for her good friend's wedding, and since then we have been enjoying our amazing beaches.
