The Cup.

Today I got to scrap with one of my great friends :) YEAH!!
It was soooo nice to finally scrap again and spend time with a friend!

While I was there Dave called and said they were headed to my Aunt's house. Of course he wouldn't tell me why, as he likes to torture me with surprises.

My Aunt had called Dave to tell him that something special was making a visit to her neighborhood.

When I got home Lilly kept saying "We got to see a trophy".

Here are the photos they had to share :)



For those of you who don't follow hockey... that is The Stanley Cup :)

family photo shoot

on each of our wedding anniversaries, we take a family picture. it's been fun to watch our family grow from 2, to 3, and now... to 4!

usually dave sets up the tripod and runs back just before the camera clicks. the 'timer-and- run' pictures have worked just fine so far, but this year we were very fortunate to have one of dave's co-workers take some professional family photos. i am so excited to have such wonderful pictures :)

here are just a few of my favorites...
