August Updates

So it has been a little while since I really have written anything of value on my blog. This past month has been beyond crazy, to say the very least! It has been cram packed full of events and stress, but it is calming down drastically!

So I get to brag for a minute, but only because I am so proud of my hubby! On the 15th Tyler officially GRADUATED from BYU's Marriott School of Business. I am so proud of him and his accomplishments! It is a top 10 business school and he worked so hard to stay on academic scholarship the entire time. He took is schooling seriously (for the most part, or rather the classes he cared about) and is finally done and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I must admit that I am excited for it too. To have a steady income and all that sounds rather appealing if you ask me! This picture is of the college grad and his best friend Eric who came to cheer Tyler on.Lots of other stuff has happened, but I don't really want to focus on it so I will just give you an update of pictures of my darling little Lulu. She has seen a lot of her extended family this month and is loving every minute of it!!!

The first three pictures below were taken at the Children's Museum in Portland. I met Amanda and Heather and their kids on Monday and we spent hours watching (chasing) all our kids. Lucy couldn't walk of course but loved to follow the 'big girls' lead and crawled quickly behind. Jessica, Heathers oldest, cracked me up the whole day. She kept dressing up in different outfits in the theatre, or going over to different things in the museum, posing, and saying 'I think we should take a picture of this.' She is adorable, can't you can tell it was her idea to take the picture below!
Unlike my little Lulu, Aimee was so good to always look at the camera. I think I have about 50 pictures of the back or side of Lucy's head from this occasion alone. She gets so caught up in what is going on that she doesn't seem to even care there is a camera around despite how hard her mother tried. Obviously she doesn't get this from her mother!
What a little goofball smile she has with a passy in her mouth!
This picture is the best! Rafe and Lucy were playing so nicely together while us girls were packing up Dane & Ashleigh's home. We asked Rafe to put his arm around Lucy and smile for the camera and this is what I got. All I can say is priceless!
