Catchin' up on our Summer

Well since I've been so bad on keeping updated here's our summer in a nutshell. (picture overload!)

Started off the summer with moving to a 3 bedroom apartment! Yay! We love having so much space and the kids having their own rooms! It was fun to actually get to decorate a room for Bryce.

We decided to bless Bryce while we were in Newport beach during a family vacation, since our family would be there, it was such a wonderful experience. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who was able to bless our son.

The man of the hour

Our little family

My Grandparents

Everyone who came to the blessing! That's a lot of people. Thank you for all the love and support we feel from you all!

My family

The Hoover family

Ava running around to get the wiggles out. Haha her dress looks so funny!

Love this little face

We were so excited that we got to spend a week at a beach house in Newport beach with my entire extended family! We had a blast, it was so sad to come home to the real world.

"Hey mom just kickin back!"

Bright and early one morning.

Catchin' sand crabs

This is how Bryce spent the majority of his days, asleep. Gotta love the lull of the ocean.

Mom and Dad, miss you guys!

Love this picture of my cute hubby!

My fearless daughter loved when daddy would pull her on the boogie board! He would get her going as fast as he could run and she would just scream in delight!

Oopps wipe out!

Playin with the cousins

Ava practicing her surfing skills! Lookin good!

My dad and Bryce all cleaned up and ready for game night

We played a bunch of "Minute to Win it" games from the TV show. It was so much fun! Here's my dad representing our family with a cotton ball stuck to his nose! Haha

Another night we had an ice cream sculpting contest. Our family did a tribute to my brother who couldn't be there. He was selling pest control in New York. So it is a pest control man as the statue of liberty.

I turned 25 this year! Wow, kinda weird. My parents were in town, my dad as become one of Austin's dental patients, so we were able to have a babysitter that night! Thanks Mom and Dad.

Yummy birthday cookie from my friend Jaime.

Date night. We love living so close to the beach!

Birthday dinner at C&O's (Our favorite Italian restaurant in LA)

Beautiful fountain right by our table.

It's always fun when Gigi and Doo-Dah come and visit! (that's what Ava calls my parents)

Playing horsey

Austin's youngest sister, Angie got married on August 21st. So we had a fun week of wedding festivities. On our 4 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Thursday August 19th she received her endowments, so we got to go to the temple on our anniversary. We had a bonfire with the grooms family afterwards, tons of fun! Friday was a dinner for both families put on by my mother in law, it was fun to get to know Jeremy's family. And then finally the wedding on Saturday. Beautiful ceremony, bride and reception! It was so much fun and we are so excited for Angie and Jeremy!

With all the wedding things followed by a week of finals, we still haven't celebrated our wedding anniversary, so that will hopefully be the next post!
