Let the adventure begin...

This will probably be my last post for a while. We are starting a road trip this afternoon and won't be back until August 28! Today we are going to Tennessee to spend a week with friends, then we will be in West Virginia, Nauvoo, IL, Omaha, NE, Grand Junction, CO and Utah before heading back home. I'll try to post while we are gone, but in case I can't here are some random pictures to tide you over till we get back!

This is what happens when you spend the day at the beach and skip nap-time! I know it looks like breakfast, but this was actually his dinner!

My sweet girl!

He is so in love with his baby sister!

Another cute dress from her aunties!

A baby blessing and an impromptu photo shoot.

Our best friends blessed their newest addition a couple of Sundays ago, and while they were taking pictures afterwards I decided it was the perfect time for a new family photo. Luckily the kids were pretty cooperative!

This is the smile you get from Riley when he is being mischievous!

Five years ago, when we first started hanging out, there was only 8 of us!

This is the look I get when I tell Matt I want to take family pictures.

We've been working on our tans.

Now that school is out and the heat is rapidly rising we spend most of our time in the water! We are getting in as much beach and pool time as we can before our massive road trip that will take up the rest of the summer!

I'm pretty sure these two will be friends for life!

Madison and Annabelle hanging out at the beach.

Riley LOVED burying Tyler!

They tried surfing for the first time and they both did great!

Stephanie surrounded by boys. Could this be a glimpse into the future?

Pool side snack.

Doesn't Tyler have the cutest friends? We are in trouble when they become teenagers!
