Summer Adventures Part 3: Star Valley, Wyo.

The fam at ____ Lake. (I forgot the name, which
is really pathetic since I've been going there since I was born)
It's in Afton though, so I got that much. Nice to know
I haven't completely lost it.

Awww! You know how much I'm fond
of the "engagement shot".

I've got a little poser on my hands.

Well, two really.

All right, make that four.

Intermittent Springs- a yearly ritual.

I wonder where they get all their posing from?

I'm pretty sure it's from their Dad. Not his
most extravagant pose, but there it is.

This is my artistic "lovely butterfly in nature" picture. I
call it, "Lovely Butterfly on a Splat of Horse Poo...In Nature".

Summer Adventures Part 2: Two birthdays

Skye's birthday at Grandma & Grandpa Holliday's house.

Ethan's actual birthday at home. We usually do the "official"
cake at the Holliday house on Sunday, but we weren't able to do that
one until two weeks after the fact. So we opted for the cupcake
route on the actual day. I tried to make it up to him with
a MEGA cupcake.

For his birthday cake this year, Ethan wanted my grandma's
chocolate marshmellow brownies. I now have an official
teenager now. Oi vey!

Summer Adventures Part 1: Skye's Birthday Party

Skye got her first official birthday party this year. I tried
to "do it up guud". As a result, I put on quite a buffet
spread, which in hindsight wasn't necessary for a bunch of
6-7 year olds. They would've been happy with just cupcakes.
Oh well, c'est la vie.

Cupcakes: color coordinated to party decorations- Check.

It was a "splash party" theme, but we had to get them as
messy as possible first. This was the "summer snowman" game.
Sean, Ethan, and I decorated them with several cans of shaving cream.

Extra slippery slip 'n slide.

Singing Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Skye!
