Grandpa Thomas's Summer Visit

Grandpa Thomas came out here last weekend to spend time with us.  He went hiking with Jesse and Nathan -- it was such a lovely day.

In the afternoon, we took Nathan to his first ever movie in the theater -- Toy Story 4 -- on opening day!

He loved the movie, he loved the popcorn, and his new favorite Toy Story character is Forky!

Grandpa Thomas also enjoyed seeing Nathan play soccer.

We had a fun weekend together!

Ambrosia Layouts

This month I dove into some old Basic Gray again, and this time I used the Ambrosia collection.  My first layout was inspired by CSI's File No. 287.  I used an old collection with distressing and the color orange.

I created this second layout for the Scrappy Friends challenge.  I used Rochelle's sketch, and I was inspired to scrap beautiful outdoor photos from Stacy's mood board.

Fathers' Day Weekend!

We kicked off Father's Day with a donuts with dad breakfast at Nathan's school.

Nathan painted a box for Jesse and drew a picture of him (you know it is Jesse because Nathan wrote "Dad" underneath it -- zoom in to see the cuteness!)

We picked up some sports equipment to prepare for the summer soccer season, and Nathan asked for (and got) a little t-ball set, which he is loving!

Jesse is coaching Nathan's soccer team this year and we had a good first game yesterday.  Go West Ham United!

Today we spent a lot of time at Lowes -- Nathan enjoyed touching basically everything in the store (look at the memo he created on this smart refrigerator!) while Jesse found the perfect Father's Day tool storage unit.  Happy Fathers' Day everyone!

Grandpa's Last Days in Albuquerque

We continued hanging out and having fun with Grandpa Ariyavatkul in Albuquerque after we returned from the Dominican Republic.  Nathan asked him to play super heroes a bunch!

They also played a lot out in the backyard.

Look at how excited he is!

Last, but definitely not least, we went to Round 1 -- a really fun arcade.  We had a fun visit!

Rachel's Wedding!

My beloved sister Rachel got married and had the prettiest beach wedding!  It was gorgeous, she was gorgeous, and we were so fortunate to be a part of it!
