Welcome Baby Wyatt!!!

Our first peek at baby Wyatt...just a few hours old...

Such a perfect little guy!!

To help welcome the new family home, we added a few new decorations to their house

Both boys were so excited to see their new baby cousin. Caden would often ask, "Is baby Wyatt out yet?" like he was waiting for him to exit the bathroom :)

I see a fun filled future for these three!!

Lobster + Birthday = Happy Shawn

For Shawn's Birthday, we visited the Long Beach Lobster Festival. What are the chances that the second largest Lobster Festival would be happening on Shawn's Birthday?? We couldn't pass up the chance!! The lobster was plentiful...

and the inflatable bounce houses and slides were unlimited...everyone was happy!!

A Labor Day Shower in the Park

Harry with the Hoffy's

To help encourage the Hoffy girls to read Harry Potter, I suggested that we watch the movie when they finished the first book. I had an ulterior motive...I've unsuccessfully tried to talk Logan into having a Harry Potter birthday party for a few years so I jumped at the chance to spread a little Hogwarts magic around the house.

We set up Shawn's new outdoor screen to view Harry under the stars. The design your own chocolate covered wands was their favorite part...

although the making of shadow puppets after the movie was a big hit too!!

egg splat

Gotta love a good egg drop...

Logan's egg survived the first round

Mr. Armstrong added a little more uummmfff the next time around...

and the egg didn't do so well ...YUCK!
