Congrats to Drew & Jessica on your nuptials!

This past weekend Ryan went to Grand Rapids, Michigan for his cousins Drew's wedding. Drew and Jessica tied the knot on July 10th. Elli and I couldn't make it but I wanted to share some great pictures (I snagged from facebook) of the special celebration.I think this is such a cute picture of Kelly (Ryan's sister) and Aunt Jackie (Ryan's Aunt). But look at Ryan to the right! He is so funny!

Here is Elli's Grandma Morris and Aunt Nicole. Nicole and Jason (Ryan's Bro) are expecting a baby girl 10-10-10. This will be Elli's first cousin. We are all so excited!
Above is Cousin Mackenzie, Uncle Blake, Aunt Kelly & Ryan!

Vegas Baby!

Birthday fun continues....

Opening her first present in the morning!
She loved her new toy phone!

Her birthday present set up. So when she came down the stairs this is what she saw. Just like a mini Christmas.
Eating soem birthday cake with her best bud Noah.
Opa & Gigi at her celebration! Glad they were here. They were so much help.
Taking her new tricycle for a spin. See the ground those are all new shoes she got too! Daddy got her a new baby (she has in her hand) that she can change the cloths to. Notice the purple crock shoes...just like Elli's favorite she always wears. Her baby can be a "mini me" of her.

Elliana turns TWO!

My lovely hand made Wonder Pet capes for the kids. They look a lot better on camera.
The center piece.
The cake table!
The CAKE!
Elli trying on her glass slippers for size!
Checking out one of her new toys.
I think this picture is funny. I got all the kids ring pops and they were a hit. Just look at Elli. Noah was a great helper. Just like Elli was for his birthday.
Her new aqua shoes. This girl loves her shoes.
My 2 yr. old cutie!
Couldn't resist another good pic.

the 4th of July

We went to Dragonridge (where Ryan works) for an evening of fun 4th of July activities! My folks are visiting for a couple weeks so they were here and then some of our close friends all enjoyed the festivities. Elli had a blast and LOVED the fireworks! Here is a pic of her corny smile showing her teeth. I truly love our country! We are all so blessed! The good ole USA!
