The busiest week of the summer!

This week was the most crazy week ever! Usually, I have one or two things to do...but not this week, we had many! From going to the lake, haircuts, surgery, the temple, play group, swimming with Ava, pedicures, bbqs, wedding, a baby shower, and our ward pioneer day celebration we were non- stop. Oh yeah and I almost forgot to mention the sleep over! So here is the update for those who requested the pictures. I probably should wait to post any pics of the wedding until Amanda gets to see them, but ohwell....she'll forgive me!
Boys will be boys...and mine are super cute!
Chris went to surgery with his dad on Wednesday!  He had a great time! And I think that it was a proud moment for his dad too!
The golden hand.
Sleep over central!  We had Ally and Zack over on Wednesday night.  We ate chicken ring, got ice cream and played lots of games.
Its the crew!
Ok, so we threw my sister-in-law, Jessica, and my brother, Jason, a baby shower on Sunday!  So much fun, we made it a couples shower, but I didn't plan any games.  This was my present.  It is a diaper cake for those of you who have never seen one!  This was my first attempt and I am really proud of how it turned out!  The parents-to-be are having a boy (Miles) and they are decorating his room in Jungle theme...hence my jungle themed cake!
Three Sassy Sisters (Sara (25), Amanda (20), Stacey (31))
My cute fam...kind of hard to get the boys to cooperate!
Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Steve (or Be-pa) with their 4 grandkids
Amanda & Chad's amazing cake!  I wanted one just like this for my wedding, but I got vetoed by Chris...don't get me wrong, I loved the cake we ended up with, but isn't this amazing and unique?  Good choice sister!  The cake was beautiful and so was the wedding!
Logan finally decided that he likes his swing on Sunday morning.  Hooray!
BONKERS!  Tracen is always hitting his head on things, well today was no different, but he hit his head/ear on the edge of our computer desk and now has a growth!
Here in Reno we rarely get rain, but today we had our first thunderstorm of the summer.  I love the rain, so we set up our lawn chairs on the patio and watched the rain.  Tracen, being the full-blown boy he is, decided to go run and jump in the water!
Future ping-pong star?

I love, love, love, the black and turquoise dress, you are so dang cute! Your sister's colors are awesome. The cake is totally fabulous.
I don't want this to sound weird, but seeing Chris do his doctor thing is cute. "Cute" is not a word I would normally use to describe the job of a doctor. Very cool that he and his dad were side by side.

I wish I were busy like you!! Amanda's wedding looks beautiful. Your dresses are actually really cute! I love her colors too. Also, the family picture is adorable. I am so lazy that I would just use that as my Christmas card picture, but you're better than that! =)
