Picture of the Day

Alexa's new favorite thing!

I have to say, I quite enjoy these adorable boots myself!!

She just looks so darn cute in them!

Summertime Fun!

Another couple firsts this summer - the downtown splash park...

and the JCC pool!!

I know, I know...this is it, I promise! I REALLY won't post about each and every time we head to the pool, the zoo or the various splash parks around the city. However, I said I wouldn't do it EVERY time...but I can't promise about once in awhile...just so you're prepared to see at least a few more pics from our adventures this summer!! :-)

Payton's Blessing Day

Today was Payton's Blessing Day. Her daddy gave her a beautiful blessing and she didn't make a peep the entire time...Phew! It was a great day and we had some wonderful friends come to support us. To the Graves, the Wikles and the Carters...thanks you guys, we love and appreciate your friendship!! Kevin's Uncle Paul and Uncle Wayne also came and participated in the circle for the blessing. We really appreciate their love and support as well, especially with Kevin's parents being out of the country while serving a mission for our Church.

This is us with Taffney, "the guys" and "baby Cali". Alexa absolutely adores "the guys" and was so excited to have them come to church!

Here's the star of the day...our sweet Payton Jae!

This afternoon, we headed to Kevin's cousin Matt's house for a family dinner as Matt and his wife, Jen, also blessed their new baby, Jake, today. He was born two weeks before Payton.

Just a couple more shots of our sweet baby girl!

I also have to send a very big shout out to my Aunt Marina. She made Payton's blessing dress and it is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so sooooo much! She has made both Alexa and Payton's dresses now and I hope they'll treasure them as I do and pass them on to their own kids!
