Another New Friend for Gavin

Very early on the Fourth of July, Kelsey Ann Peterson was born to my best friend, Rebecca in Colorado. She is adorable and we can't wait to meet her. I was able to visit the day after Rebecca's third baby, Delaney was born and it was such a memorable trip. It makes my heart yearn to be there to hold that precious baby girl. Our families try to get together at least once a year, so Gavin and Kelsey are sure to be buddies from across the miles.

Gavin's 1st 4th of July

It was another big day for us. While Grandma, Grandpa, Ethan and Lauren rode in the Waldo's VW Bug through the 4th of July parade, Bethany, Mark, Daddy, and Gavin watched from the sidelines. Gavin sat and smiled with glee tensing all the muscles in his body as the floats, bands, and people strolled by. Jen and I were manning the first ever Waldo's tent in the park where we helped hundreds of people cool off with our Smoothies and Iced Lattes.

Lauren's Pajama Party

Lauren had a couple of friends over for a pajama party. The girls arrived in their jammies and we had a whole evening planned with girlie things. A movie and popcorn concluded the evening as they all snuggled in the make shift cozy bed that Lauren created before her friends arrived. It was a fun night filled with many little giggles.
