Dress Up


Daddy was gone and we were playing dress up. I decided to snap some shots and I'm glad I did.


Scroll down for several new posts. I've almost caught up!

Preschool

Morgan started preschool on Sept. 8th. It's just one day a week for a few hours at the rec dept. So far she loves it. She was such a big girl and had no problem letting me leave.


I think it will be good for her to have more time with other kids and without me.

I'm 29!

I'm sure in a few years, I won't be so willing to broadcast my age but everyone over 29 still claims it so I might as well enjoy it while I can.
Brent was going to be out of town for my birthday so we celebrated early. Saturday, we went to dinner then out to ice cream. We brought Jaycee with us but she slept in the car seat the whole time! We had a nice evening but I didn't take any pictures.
On Monday (labor day) we pretty much just shopped for me (yeah!) Brent made a nice dinner and great cake. Jarom an Alyssa came over to celebrate.
Look at that gooey chocolate deliciousness!

That's a lot of smoke.

Brent got me lots of painting supplies in case I decide to become a painter:) We'll see how it goes.

Jarom and Alyssa got me an Avocado Tree in case I decide to become a gardener:) I don't especially like avocados but I've been loving guacamole lately. I'm excited for the avocados to hopefully start growing next year if I can keep it alive that long.

On my actual birthday, there was a massive power outage in the whole region. We had cold cereal for dinner and since I was alone with no power, I went to bed around 9:15. Exciting, I know. I'm glad we celebrated early. Power was back on in about 12hours. No harm done.

Our Friend Jerry

Our Friend Jerry, back from Southaven, MS came out to visit for a few days. We sure fit a lot in. He brought a friend with him and we had a great time. Here are some of the highlights.

Day at the beach.

My girls in matching dresses. I know I'm obsessed.


You always have to have an eating picture. I know this isn't a great pic but Morgan took it while I was feeding Jaycee and I think it shows that she likes to eat.

Of course she always tries to grab the spoon. She is a good eater though and I'm grateful.

Hunter Family Time

For my brother's wedding, most of my family was able to come down and spend a couple days in San Diego. While they were here, besides wedding stuff, we went to the beach, went bowling, mini golfing, swam in my pool and just hung out. It's always fun to have family together.



Nice action shot of Cypress

Everyone left Sunday after the wedding and I took the girls and drove up to my parents for the week before the reception that Saturday.


The kids enjoyed sitting on, not riding, grandpa's new miniature horses.

Brent flew up the day of the reception and the girls were happy to see their daddy.

Jarom and Alyssa's Wedding

Since we lived in San Diego, my little brother Jarom has lived with us. He finally married Alyssa Danner after 6 years of dating on Aug. 12th. They got married in Balboa park and it was beautiful! The ceremony was really nice and Morgan got to be one of the darling flower girls. The reception was gorgeous in the Prado. Dinner was fabulous and all the adults had a great time dancing and chatting without the kiddos.


The wedding rehearsal followed by a great Italian dinner.


Morgan and Jaycee with their girl cousins on my side.


My favorite people!

She forgot to drop the petals but looked darn cute carrying the basket.




The head table.


The next week we went up to Gridley and had a reception up there that was also gorgeous but I don't have the pictures for those. Hopefully I'll post them later.
