Big Day!

We spent another beautiful day out on the boat today. My mom came with us and was a huge help with Ella. We found a great sandy place we could beach the boat and Ella could play in her floaty. But even more exciting after our fun day on the boat we decided it was such a nice night that we would go picnic down at the lawn at Chambers Bay where little Miss Ella decided to take her first steps...FINALLY! I know it will still be awhile before we can say that she is walking because we have learned that this girl is very cautious and takes her time with everything but this was exciting progress. Way to go Ella!

Dancing Queen

We went to my cousin Michelle's wedding this weekend and Ella was dancing the night away! She looked so cute in her fancy dress with cake all over her face :)

Baby Kellen

Our close friends Kevin and Janelle welcomed baby Kellen Joseph Lentz to the world on Saturday August 22. We were at the hospital bright and early Sunday morning to meet him and watch his big sister Miley hold him for the first time. Congrats Kevin and Janelle he is a doll!

Summer Highlights

This summer has gone so quickly I haven't posted any pictures so here are a few highlights of what we have been up to.

We had some friends come and stay with us from California so we took them on a tour of Seattle... and we rode the Duck!

We spent time with grandparents...

and Great Grammy!

We went to U.P. Festival with our friends Kevin and Janelle and Ella's BFF Miley.

Ella and Colin checked out the Jackson Spray Park and had a blast!

We went to Hood Canal... and another trip to Fox Island.

And Bernie and I have gotten to enjoy a few boat days on our own with friends. We are not ready to say goodbye to summer yet and are hoping the fun just keeps coming!
