Massive August Catch Up

  Hopefully I haven't lost any of the few followers I have.  Everything on my to do list has seemed to come before posting on my blog lately.  And this is only a small portion of what I could be posting.  But alas, here's August for you, and the last few days of July:

  Our "baby" Shelten turned 2!!  How this happened, I'm not quite sure.  He is obsessed with every kind of transportation, so we made him the train cake, a popular one for the boys in our family.  He loved it.  So much so, that a couple of months after his birthday, any time any one mentions the word "birthday," he immediately assumes that it's his birthday and asks for his birthday cake.  He is speaking in full sentences and cracks us up all the time with the funny things he comes up with.  We love this guy soooo much!!!

  Last month we went to San Diego for my brothers wedding (keep scrolling down for that).  Wes' brother, Ryan lives there also, we spent a day with him and his girls at Legoland.  We had a BLAST!!  Shelten loved it even more than we anticipated.  We had just as much fun there as Disneyland.  Shelten still talks about Legoland and how he wants to go there again.

Jazlyn and her cousin Morgan had a lot of fun together.

  Shelten also became buds with Kendall.  So did I!

This was Shelten's favorite ride.  He cried when we took him off of this airplane.

 
You can't tell these two are brother's can you? (wink, wink)

One day we went to the Midland carrier with my family and the beach and had a great time.

 And finally, the wedding!  Somehow these pictures didn't get on in order, but most of the reception photos are at the beginning with the wedding ones below.

These are not in order, but at the end of our picture taking, we realized we hadn't taken one of all the grandkids, so I tried to snag one, but they were done by this point.

Don't Jacob and Janette make a stunning couple?  I'm glad I got to finally meet her.  They are so happy together and we are so thrilled for them!

 The boy nephews all sported these cute outfits.  Can you tell these boys had fun together?

I'm loving this family picture my mom took!!

  The reception didn't get over until midnight the time zone we're used to, so to say the kids were tired by the end was putting it mildly.  All things considered though, they did really well and had a great time!

We got home after 11 pm from our trip and the kids started school the next morning.  (They actually missed the first 3 days).  It was quite a whirlwind, but so glad we could go.

And then we've had two more birthdays in our summer-of-birthdays.
We can't forget to mention this wonderful hard working and supportive husband and father we are so blessed to have.  Thanks for putting up with all of us!

And our sweet Jazlyn is now in the double digits!!  She is growing up soooo quickly!  She had a fabulous birthday.  She was elated to receive 3 cards in the mail from some special friends in Oregon.  This was especially sweet since she misses them a lot!

Thanks for catching up with us.  Hopefully more to come soon!
