Family Vaca in Bruce Beach

We had so much fun with all of our family in Canada this year!
The cousins really had a great time together!


It's so fun to be able to do everything together; eat, play, sleep... 


Shay loved the beach!


Emery has such an angelic look... sometimes... the other times... 


... she looks like this. :)


It's like Schafer is saying, "ummm you know we are both naked right???" :)


Emery looks up to her big cousin Amelia... she loves her already! :)


My sweet darling Vale just wants to play games all day! 


The TKLove Family...


The JCMahon Family


And the JMLove Family.


Rides on daddy's shoulders are always the best.


oh and throwing sand!


Can't have the cottage without Grandma... 


and Grandpa!


I love family vacations! 
(and my hubby!)

Crazy, cross country move!

Moving with three kids was CRAZY!


especially an infant who needs a lot of attention!


the boys helped... a little... :)


They also dropped one of those heavy tubes on my foot... slowing me down just a little...


So while I was down from this painful injury I hear Connor in the next room yell, "mommy, vale drank something that's burning his mouth!!!"  I run in to find that Vale has ingested nail polish remover with acetone. Fantastic.  First time I had to call poison control.  Sigh... he ended up being fine.  I think he didn't get a whole lot because it didn't taste that great.

Connor said that he was going to protect our stuff as I was packing... thanks pal. :)


I had to put my boys on a plane and send them to the East Coast ahead of us so I could get some things done without kids drinking acetone...


We had to say goodbye to family and friends :(  It was really sad knowing that with three kids we weren't gonna be flying out to California any time soon.


Papa came out to drive the truck back with Jimmy...


... and Shay and I said goodbye to California, our home, and flew east.


I was SOOO happy though to get my little guys back in my arms!!! 


Meanwhile, Jimmy and Jim had a great time bach'in it across the country!


They visited the Grand Canyon,


which they described as 'breath taking'.


they also went to a meteor crater, which was pretty cool.


The truck broke down TWICE and it took them 3 days longer than planned but hey, they had fun! :)

We were so blessed to have Jimmy's family come down and see us, help us and drive Jimmy's dad back up to Ohio.  The boys were so excited to see Emma Grace!


We had so many people from our church come help us unload our truck...


... and boy did we need it!


Yeah we had the biggest truck we could get...


We are now North Carolina residents!!!  Whewww Whooo!!! :)

Andronovich Wedding!!!

 Suzanna and Steven got MARRIED!! Wheeww WHOO!!!

Connor got to be a ring bearer with his buddy Brennan! :)
They were so cute!


MacKenzie was one of the flower girls... she is so precious!  She looks like a doll!


This is HILARIOUS!  Connor says he only wants kisses from his mommy... :) I'm ok with that right now :)


HA oh man! So classic!


Connor took his job very seriously... he needed to make sure that Emma got to the front and carry her sign for her cause it was too heavy for her.  He's such a good little protector!


Brennan and MacKenzie did a great job too! Success!!! :)


Steven looks very happy to see his bride! 


 Here she comes!!! Lovely!!


 It was quite a Christ centered wedding and a joy to watch!


And you may kiss the bride!



Mr. & Mrs. Andronovich!


Connor sat with me during the whole wedding so my photos aren't as great as they could have been... for instance this little gem... sigh... but he wanted to watch them become honeys... so... welp... :)


The reception was a blast, it was outside and hot as can be but a blast! :)


The sisters sang a sweet song to their dad which was very precious!! 


We had to leave a bit early cause Connor puked all over the table and my children were having melt downs but ya know... that's the life of a mama with boys! :) hahaha

Congrats Suzanna and Steven!!! :)
