Mom and I by the cake table.

I am pretty sure EVERYONE went back for a second piece it was SO GOOD!

This was the centerpiece at my table, that cake was made out of receiving blankets, and burp rags! SO cute!!

Here is a shot of the Cookie bouquets and place settings at each table. People were stuffing their pockets with cookies on their way out the door! You have not had a GOOD sugar cookie until you have had one of Ang's!!! Great idea mom they were adorable!

ULTRASOUND!!

Yesterday, was a very exciting day for us! We went and had a 3D ultrasound done! It was so cool, Cale moved the entire time!! Carson got to talk to my belly and Cale respond with a bunch of movement! We got to take home a Dvd, and a cd with about 30 pictures on it. Some shots better than others, these are 2 of our favorites! :)

Lake Chelan

This summer we spent a week over at Lake Chelan! We had a wonderful time!! The weather was hot, the resort was wonderful, and got to spend a great week with mom and dad! We went to the water slide park, go karts, ice cream every night (GRANDPA), rented a Ski doo, layed in the sun, went to a few shops, and even got to hit WALMART :-) We can't wait to go back next summer!!! On our way home we stopped at Deception Falls, they were amazing!

DJ had a blast out there on the Lake!

The Sunset's were so pretty!
