More August fun continued....

Here's another picture of the girls on a hayride at Eric's work party in Cottonwood Canyon.  Don't they look cute?!

They had piñatas for the kids at Eric's work party. Look at all our girls go...

Finding shelter out of the rain

Clam chowder for Andi's favorite birthday dinner.

Here's the Egyptian birthday girl opening her birthday presents.

Our beloved Chloe was there that night while we celebrated Andi's birthday

Andi was so excited to get this doll closet...A much anticipated toy

...Complete with a new doll...

...doll shoes...

....and her favorite drink!  Orange soda!

Thanks for the fun gift, Grandma Zimmerman.  Our girls are so lucky to have you.

We got to have Chloe at our house late one night and here's Eric giving her a piggy back ride to bed.  I was proud to see it...:)

The girls enjoying doll time.

Birthday fun

Abbey is a baby magnet these days.  Love it!

Cousin Carter doin' his thing

Aunt Beth and baby Lizzie came to celebrate Andi's day

Grandma Cathi and the Francis boys

Enjoying silly girl time in the toy room

Abbey and Bo....Love these kids!

Love the look on Grandma's face as she tries to hold Luke down.  :)

My girl enjoying the spotlight on Grandpa's lap.  She was so cute and funny that night.  Usually she saves that silliness for a select few....So fun to see her shine.

Aunt Bethie...How we love her.

The famous purple jacket Andi knew was "hers" the minute she saw it.

Grandma Cathi enjoying her new granddaughter.

My sister Leslie being the awesome sister she is, enjoying a little visiting time with the fam.

So glad they all came to help celebrate Andi's day.  Means the world

A little August sunset off our deck.

Enjoying one of our last summer outings at the Hogle Zoo with my friend Natalie and her girls.

On the carousel at the zoo.

Natalie's youngest, Kate.  She's so petite and darling.

Natalie's oldest, Addy.  She's Ava's age and is totally her mama's girl, if you ask me.  So cute, social, and fun.

Andi's 6th birthday picture.  I like her.

Precious picture of two people that mean so much to me.

These two have been through a lot together. 

So glad to have had Grandma Luke around the past few years of my life.  She's had my back....A priceless gift to me that isn't easily found.

One of my favorite traditions is when Andi calls my mom before bed at night.  They've had that tradition since we moved into our first house since Michael died. 

Thank goodness for moms.
