Extreme Home Makeover {Backyard Edition}

Last summer when we moved into our house the backyard was nothing but solid weeds. They were almost as tall as me! When we did our remodel last summer we focused on the front yard and the inside of the house.. we saved the backyard for this Spring. It has been a lot of work, but it has finally paid off!
Logan and Verne framing up the new patio. We covered up the old cracked one with weeds growing through it. We also planted the trees along the fence (behind Logan and Verne) to block out our trashy neighbors behind us.

Logan did most of the work, but I did help stain the fence!

Making progress.....

Here's the finished product! YAY! We love spending time in our backyard and eating dinner out on our patio!

Baylor's Blessing

Baylor was blessed on Sunday. It was a perfect day! The weather was nice, and it was wonderful having our families altogether at church. Logan and I were worried that Baylor would cry during the blessing..but he was happy and quiet thank goodness!

I LOVE this picture.. the only thing missing is Casey :O(

He had to go back to his ward.

After church we had lunch at our house.
We had sandwiches, yummy salads & Cupcakes.

{Summer Fun}

Logan's parent's have a beautiful pool.. and we are lucky to enjoy it every summer. Usually Baylor is sleeping while we are swimming... but yesterday he woke up so we lathered him up with sunscreen and took him for his first "dip." Once he got used to the water he loved it! Lindsi and Callie took Evelyn and Cody in for the first time too. My good friend Emily from Texas sent this cute "Baylor" shirt from Baylor University. I LOVE IT! I'm so glad he fits in it now!

It is so fun having my very own baby to play with!

more pics..

Kyle says he looks like a rapper here.. I agree!
This was after we swam... he was a very happy boy..

he took a LONG nap shortly after.

4th of July (finally!)

My computer always has trouble uploading pictures for some reason so it takes several tries.... I have been trying to get these pictures on for weeks! Anyways, 4th of July is always sooooo much fun! We have a big BBQ with the Mays and the Dyers, along with a pool party.... followed by an AMAZING firework show. Also- the Mays make the BEST homemade ice cream.. and every year we look forward to it!

I ♥ Baylor

He is almost two months old... how did that happen?! It goes by too fast! I love these PJ's Logan bought him.. he is just so snuggly!

Sunny Weekend at the Beach!

This weekend we went to Seaside for the May Family Reunion. We stayed in a big beachhouse. We played games, ate yummy food and hungout in downtown Seaside, Cannon beach and Astoria. The best part was that it was BEAUTIFUL weather! I have a lot of memories of the Oregon Coast, but very few include sunshine! It was awesome!
