Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to everyone! We celebrated by having a few friends over to join us while trick or treating. My apologies that I didn't get a photo of all of our friends.

Happy Half Birthday, Quinners!

Three and half years ago today Quinn changed our lives forever by coming into this world! We celebrated with a cookie cake and dinner at Red Robin (her choice).

Chocolate Chip Cookie!

Quinn practiced singing "Happy Half Birthday" to herself all day.

After the girls picked of a large bit of the decorations.

They were more excited about the icing than the cookie.

California Dreamin'

While discussing what to do for Labor Day Weekend we decided to take a trip to California to visit Mike's family and Mickey Mouse. We were gone just shy of a week and a had a really great time!
