Family Pictures

The talented Jenn took family pictures for us last month. I think Dev was about 6 months the last time we did family pictures. :)

Visitors

In June we had some visitors! Brian and Heather came to visit. We were so glad that they decided to vacation in Milwaukee with us. We had a wonderful time with a good balance of activity and relaxing. We played at the park, had picnics, went to the Milwaukee Art Museum, went on the Sprecher's brewery (with the best root beer) tour, went to a Brewer's baseball game, slept in, visited with friends, celebrated Colby's birthday, even exercised, rode the subway to Chicago, went to Millineum Park and Navy Pier, ate Chicago deep dish pizza (love Lou Malnati's!), enjoyed custard, ate a lot actually, were entertained by Devri, visited the Chicago temple, and lots more. We had a blast! Thanks for coming Bri and Heather! I will let the pics tell the rest of the story.

P.S. We like visitors! (hint hint family)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9 Weeks

8 Weeks

And then she was two!

The highlight of this two-year-old's day was definitely the candles. We had a birthday preview the week before with the family in Roosevelt. Grandma Trudy made cupcakes and put two candles in for Dev to blow out. After that her birthday was all about blowing out the candles. When she woke up the morning of her birthday I told her happy birthday and she starting blowing, so I let her have candles in her muffins. We had plans to get together with some friends during the day, but Devri came down with croup the day before so we just stayed home and took it easy. Although, she was sick we had a really good day. She was so cute and spent most of the day talking about her "happy happy" and showing me how to blow out candles. Our friends Sean and Jessica came for birthday dinner and cake. Thankfully they stayed a while and Sean and Colby assembled all of her presents. It was such a fun day and we're so thankful for our "happy happy" two-year-old!

This is a short video on my camera of Dev blowing out the candles. The longer version on the video camera had us all laughing. After all of her excitement and anticipation about blowing out the candles she was a little nervous to get very close so it took us a long time to blow out candles. When she finally blew them out, Colby lit them again and we started over. I think we spend 15 minutes blowing out candles. :)
