The last week or so...

OK- alot of pictures, and not alot of words... the sun is calling me, you understand.

So for the 4th of July we were invited to Laura's church party at the pastor's waterfront property! Aurora and Jade made red, white and blue strawberries (dipped in white chocolate and dipped in blue sprinkles- genius!)

The party people.

They had alot of friendly family games. A balloon toss...

Me and Julia, and I got to hold Raven the whole time- it was awesome!

LOOK AT HER CUTENESS!!!

Julia left, then we left,we headed to Mcdonalds where Julia works! Snapped a picture of her cute self!

Headed to the waterfront to support our church who were giving out free hotdogs and tracks and had a free bouncy house for the kids to play in. Kent found a spot along the water and just chilled.

Now onto to getting ready for Aurora's 13th birthday party. Isnt' she adorable???

She wanted everything yellow and orange. She also wanted her cake to be a pumpkin cake- very delicious!

Kent and Jeromy bonding... I think...

Grandma Cindy got to hold Raven...

Look at all these cute girls waiting patiently for the party... Natalie, Kelsey, Hannah and Hannah...

Aurora opening cards and presents...

Blowing out her candles on her yellow cake...

Kelsey got to hold Raven, too, not sure if Raven is down with that...

After the party we took Aurora out to dinner to Red Robin, and told them it was her birthday. Don't think she appreciated that LOL

So cute!

The next day we were headed to a wedding in Lacey. A co-worker of mine was getting married. Yay Dan! It was a beautiful wedding out side, the weather was perfect!

Dan and Jamie...

Then the dancing. Alot of people from work came to support Dan. My friend Frances came with her girls who were all excited to dance along side the big girls.

They were doing some kind of line dancing. It was so cute!

Then it was time to take Aurora home :o(

She's such a cutie pie and now 13...

One happy dad!
