Neighborhood Party and the Cabin

Well we had quite the fun weekend. To start it off Friday night we had dinner at my Cousin's house. They just moved here from Chicago and Chris had helped them find a house in which they fixed completely up. It was fun seeing them. Then Saturday night was the much anticipated neighborhood party. It had been scheduled for June and we had come home early from Lake Powell only to have it rained out, so we were pretty excited. Chris rented a huge bounce house for the kids which was a total hit. We also had the chance to meet some new people and put some names to faces now. We absolutely love our neighborhood and really feel like this is where we are meant to be. So many things just fell into place when it came to buying and selling as well as the studio and everything else and I've got to be honest we love our neighbors. We were saying that night how great it felt to feel apart of a real neighborhood. Needless to say our old neighborhood wasn't very friendly and we didn't make as big of an effort as we should've. Anyways it was a great time and hopefully we will make a bigger effort to get to know more of our neighbors before the next party.
That night we snuck away up to the cabin. We didn't get there until late and Chris parents and Justin and Linds were already there. But it was such a nice little retreat. We had some great food and slept in way later then I ever have (10:45 am) that is a miracle for me but also tells ya how tired I was. We played on the ATV's and Lydia had an absolutel blast on the trampoline. Always a blast.

P.S. These pictures are in backwards order, for some reason my comp. wouldn't let me move them.

This is our baby girl at 16 weeks. It was such an amazing thing to see her moving and count all of her fingers and toes for the first time. I know I bawled and Chris won't admitt it, but he was pretty emotional as well.

It's a girl!
