A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING

June 18, 2011. Megan and Nick were married at the Hope House (my parent's house) at a 5pm ceremony. Kevin conducted the ceremony and married them. It was an amazing day, the sun peaked out right as Megan and my father were getting out of the Studebaker Old-Fashioned car. The whole wedding was dreamy, her dress, the colors, the flowers, everything was great! We were welcomed with a cold ice-tea or raspberry lemonade, the chairs were set up in an arc facing the beautiful rose garden. A huge dance floor centered the tables. The cake was beautiful, the girls had a hard time not starting in on it early. The kids were super, and did their part perfect. Everyone (including the kids) danced the night away.

The Pier's are in Town

The Pier Family is in town to celebrate the upcoming wedding. We have had lots of fun. Ashlin just loves Porter and Thatcher and has done a sleep over two nights in a row (it is her first ever sleep over), she did great! Porter takes really good care of Ashlin and enjoys having her say words..."Ashlin say, DELICIOUS." "Ashlin say..." It is really cute.

More Cabo...

CABO thus far...

CABO has been wonderful so far. The weather is perfect, not too hot and warm in the evenings. We played at the beach, in the pool, on the water slide, ate great food and enjoyed spending time with the kids and family. Corey (in the cowboy hat) and Ellen were able to spend a few days with us. More to come!

Bath Time

Both kids LOVE the bath. Westin splashes around and Ashlin enjoys pouring water on his back. Then I get him out, dried off and lotion up - after that he crawls back to the bath, pulls himself up and smiles at Ashlin...so cute!

Ashlin and Westin

Ashlin loves to have fun while I am taking photos of her, then she demands to see them! Westin is so smilely! He laughs a lot.

Westin's Baptism at St. Barbara's Mission

WESTIN DEAN'S BAPTISM
GODFATHER - MARK (MARKY) GOODWIN
GODMOTHER - LORA (LO LO) GOODWIN
At exactly 9 months old Westin was baptized at The Santa Barbara Mission during the 4pm Mass. It was a beautiful ceremony, with lots of clapping and soft song. Both kids were very well behaved during the mass. We celebrated with dinner, drink and cake afterward. Thanks to everyone for attending and making it such a special day. BUT a very SPECIAL THANK YOU to Mark and Lora for stepping in and accepting the gift of being Westin's Godparents - We love you both!

Little Man's First Haircut

Westin Dean received his first haircut yesterday. He was great! He just sat there looking up, wondering what is going on. Then he saw all the toys in his lay and was keeping heavily distracted; which was perfect for the stylist to cut away. He will be 9 months in a few days, he has 4 teeth and really gets around the house with a half crawl/half army pull. He eats well and is a very happy baby!

SB Fair & Expo 2011

We spent our Saturday at the SB Fair & Expo. It was so much FUN! We went twice; in the morning then back agagin in the evening. Ashlin could not get enough of the rides. She must have gone on 25 rides or more. Both kids were so great it was hard to leave!
