Evan Moyer's 3rd Birthday Party

As the party got started, Evan and his friend Trey enjoyed playing outside with Phil.

Visit With The Moyer Family

We had a great time getting together with the Moyer family. Julie and Missy have been great friends since junior high school.

We've been bad lately about taking photos, but luckily Missy takes lots of photos.

After dinner, we played with Playdoh with Evan.

Some of the finished products: Evan with his blonde hair and blueberry eyes and a sailboat on the sea

We also found out that Evan is really good at putting puzzles together!

Unfortunately, Addy napped most of the time that we were there, and we didn't take any photos while she was up. So we snagged a few photos of Addy from around this time from Missy's blog.

Addy: Just like in this photo, she was all smiles the whole time we were there

We had a great time visiting with the Moyer family. Thanks for having us over!!

Visiting the Krikory's & Moyer's

Julie's high school friends Cara and Missy both had little girls over the summer. We have gotten to see Missy and Brandon's little girl Addy a couple of times, but today was the first time we got to meet Cara and Fred's little girl Elise (Ellie) Renee Krikory.

Evan loved Ellie's quilt. He sat right down on it and asked to be snuggled in it.

We had a great time visiting with awesome friends and spending time with their little ones!

Our good friends Missy and Brandon had a baby girl, Adalyn, on August 3. Here are a few photos they took.

Today we went to visit with Missy, Brandon, and Evan and to meet little Adalyn. We also had a nice time visiting with Missy's parents, who were there to help out around the house.

We had fun playing with Evan!

While we were there, Brandon gave Adalyn her first bottle, and she slept contentedly in the swing while we ate dinner.

Missy's Baby Shower

My good friends Missy and Brandon have a little boy Evan and are expecting a little girl in August. Some of Missy's family and friends decided to shower them with a few gifts and frozen meals before the arrival of their little girl.

It looks like we successfully managed to surprise Missy

While the ladies watched Missy open the gifts, the boys went outside to play in the sprinkler and then had popsicles.
