Happy Birthday Girlie!

Today our Laekin Joy turns 2! I can't believe that 2 years have gone by already... but then when I really think about it it seems like Laekin has been a part of our lives for a lot longer.

Happy Birthday Laekin- Thank you for being you, for keeping us running after you, for making us laugh, and for all your hugs and kisses. It is an honor to be your mommy. Love you peanut.

Too much fun with PhotoBooth

This is what we have been doing in our spare time. It makes us laugh way too hard (as you can tell from the last picture)!

Santa Barbara

I am a bit behind on posts lately. My brother got married on August 16th to his beautiful wife Jill. Jeremy, Laekin, and I were all in the wedding along with my sis, Matt and nephew Silas. As a bridesmaid I got to have my hair and makeup done! I am assuming it was pretty noticible since my almost 2 year old daughter saw me and said "Mama EYES" and then looked at my lips and said "Blood." It gave us a good laugh! They got married at the Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara and it was truly amazing. Definitely the nicest wedding we have ever been to! We ate great food, danced, and had a wonderful time celebrating the marriage of Nick and Jill.

Wheeler Family Pics

We had real family pictures taken for the first time. We had lots of fun and Laekin was an all-star! Check out our pictures!

Back from vacation.

We had a great 2 weeks together as a family. We enjoyed some down-time, boating, the sun, swimming, eating yummy food, playing games, and watching Laekin play in the dirt! Check out our albums on the right (Topaz & Tahoe). We are off to my brother's wedding in Santa Barbara... I will post more pics later.

This little one....

...IS A BOY! Can you believe it! Jeremy and I gave in this time and just found out the gender of our baby today. We thought we were going to be able to wait again... but it was harder this time. We are glad that we found out and excited to meet our little son!
