Kimber's Bridal Shower

 The bridesmaids helped plan and amazing shower and were amazing helpers at executing it!  I would love to have them around for every event I host b/c they worked hard, were considerate, could look around and see what needed to be done, and didn't walk away until the job was finished!

We were On Cloud 9 celebrating Kimber with family and friends!

The ladies, and Blake and JJ, have arrived!

Party prep:

JJ washed so many glasses and vases!

Hang out time in the evening:

Let the shower begin!

Rylee, Lex, Big Cam, Katy, Kimber, Al, Sam

JJ got home from figuring out the marriage license situation and brought her flowers from Pikes Place :)

Katie's flight was delayed but she still came by and we got to hang out for a bit.

We had a crepe bar:

Dahlia's became my favorite flower this summer!  Michelle Cheney brought these ones for the shower:

Aunt Britt sent cookies from California:

The girls planned a mimosa bar that included cotton candy as a topper (My friend Stefanie made us the cotton candy!)

Big Cam wrote all the labels for the food...so pretty!

August Fun!

Alli went to the driving range with Landon. She was very excited that she got a hole-in-one, especially b/c it was the hole that had the pink flag :)

Cam and I enjoyed a fun Friday night:  We played Labyrinth with Al,

painted rocks (the one that says clean is for the dishwasher..the other side says dirty :)), 

watched home make-over shows, 

and made cookies :)

I put on a Progressive Dinner Relief Society Activity for the sister in our ward.  We started with dinner (salad bar...with green salads, pasta salads, and fruit salad, plus breadsticks and a lemonade bar) at our house and then 4 boats came and picked us up and we took a ride around the lake and then went to Dyan's house for a spiritual thought (I shared my favorite song of the summer..Belovedness by Sarah Kroger) and dessert.  The boats then returned us to our house.  It was a perfectly warm, beautiful sunset, summer night and everyone had a great time!

Winston and his stick:

Ollie's stick.  Haha!

Why not make a fleece blanket, a super expensive one at that ($70 each) on a 97 degree day???

Al's last day at Ascend until after volleyball and her last day working with Alice before Alice moves away for college.  

Night swim with Zayah who came by boat and left by jetski :)

Our house is getting painted!

bendy kids!

We were closed in for 18 hours and it drove me bonkers!

Ollie searching for some shade!

I sent this picture to Melody asking her if it was too much for camp :)

Camp prep with Camryn.  So glad she was willing to help me create pins for all of camp.

Wild waves with cousins!

Tennis camp for Camryn at SHS

I told Alli, who was at Landon's, that I missed her face so she sent me this :)

This morning (Tuesday) Konrad mentioned the boat was gone. I told him it was gone Monday morning when I got up, and I had meant to ask him about it bc I hadn’t realized the owner was pulling it out of the water on Sunday night. Konrad said he saw them bring it back on Sunday and hadn’t been told they were pulling it out. So now we are a little worried. Konrad grabs his phone and texts the owner and I head out on my walk. As I get back from my walk I see konrad pulling up to the dock in the boat, with a paddle board on board, which tells me he had to paddle out to the boat to get it. I run out to see what had happened and sure enough the boat had been left on the lift Sunday night, but the lift failed and the boat floated away. It was tied up to a neighbors dock, the one with a flag near it, but we haven’t had a chance to talk to those neighbors yet to see where the boat was when they found it. We can’t see any damage so we are hoping the neighbor, who is an early morning water skier, found it floating in the middle of the cove rather than bumped up against a dock or someone else’s boat. Such a crazy morning! #caseofthemissingboat #sogladitwasntstolen

Kids bowl free...nothing like squeezing it in at the last moments of summer :)

We are getting new carpet so everything had to come out...of course I immediately regretted being lazy when I painted Cam's room gray and didn't move the bookcases.  I ended up painting her room and our closet b/c everything was pulled out.  I almost left didn't do all of the closet but then I remembered this picture and decided I'd thank myself later :)

Great nap spot Ollie:

Found my shoes for the wedding!
