I Love US!

For a couple years now I have been taking my families {Family Photo's} & Devry & Preston's, {but who are we kidding they are practically family to us. }But that's besides the point. I have been practicing and trying to learn more about taking photos and using photoshop for my own knowledge. I'm no {Jessica Calderwood} but I'm trying! check her blog out she's amazing...

These families mean a lot to me; And here are some of the reasons why!

walk to the mail box with us everyday
invite us over for dinner
love & play with Aniston
make us cupcakes
call and check on us almost daily
Just to name a few

But I'm so grateful to have them in my life.

So here's this years {photo shoots.}

-P.S. My sister Kellie took my family pics

{Lewis Family}

{Have I ever told you how nice it is not having to work?} And this is why! I've been able to pick up and go without having to plan a week or two in advance to get the day off. Also I haven't been outside this much since the summer I was dating Travis {which was one of my favorite summers}

Like most of you who live in Idaho we think the summer is too short, Travis & I daydream of moving to a place like California or Vegas so we can have this weather all year round.

It has been so much fun taking Aniston on all these adventures; she loves keeping busy & being outside!

Here's a few of the places we have gone

1. Rigby Lake with Trav's family
I'm obsessed with taking pictures in her swimsuits and this hat. I just Love them

{Grandma Debbie& Shelby}

2. Jensen's Grove with Camber's family
{Another swimsuit shot} This swimsuit was given to Aniston from her Aunt Whittney & Uncle Ryan who live in Texas and it is so cute{thanks again guys}... And I couldn't resist taking a picture of the fat rolls on her legs.
3.Lava Hot Springs

Here's a few random shots of what else we have been up to:

Matching T-shirts... I always love it when we randomly wear the same shirt on the same day.
Devry, Audree & I had a bachelorette finale party. {We were rooting for J.P so we wore our PJ's} and had these dessert nachos, popcorn, Chili's chips and salsa & Hot Mac!

{Happiest Place on Earth}

At the beginning of July Aniston and I went to Disneyland with my mom and Melody for FCCLA Nationals. I was so nervous to go because Aniston is not the easiest baby so I thought it might be one tough week, But I can tell you Disneyland is truly the {HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH} because she came home a changed baby!

She was at a perfect age because she was not old enough to be scared of the scenes on the rides but yet she was so intrigued.

Here's a look at our week in pics.

{Day at Huntington Beach} or "Heaven on Earth"- as our taxi driver would say



Melody left a day before we flew out and went straight to be with Bryan in Virginia so this was Aniston giving her goodbye hugs.

{Keepin up with the Jones}

Here are just a few pictures of Melody and Bryan's wedding which as you can see was pretty fabulous...

The Bride & Me {P.S. I did it I bought the sequin dress it was my party dress}
{Lynde+Me+Devry}= Pretty stinkin cute If I may say so myself!
It was so fun to see some of our roommates from the past! I love these little reunions... Maegan, Me & Kapri
One of my favorite parts of the night was lighting the floating lanterns {like from Tangled}... It was so awesome{ this picture does not do it justice}

Ok so that was like a super brief overview of the wedding maybe I'll get to posting more pics and details later but i wanted to get something up on the blog before I come back from Disneyland with tons more pics.

I {Heart} my Family

This is our first decent Family photo {I give the credit to my spray tan}... jk but really can you tell I got a spray tan?! But on the serious side I love my little family and couldn't be happier with where we are right now in our lives. Travis just finished training and is now on his own, I am loving staying at home and right now helping Melody and Bryan with wedding stuff, and Aniston is getting her first tooth. Just enjoying the journey.

{Jump the Gun}

Here in our house we like to jump the gun and celebrate holidays before they actually happen {actually when I say we I mean Travis.} But I decided to actually give in and let him since he will be working/sleeping tomorrow.

We started off by going to Rumbi grill since it just opened up and I have a feeling I will be trying to create reasons why we need to celebrate a lot in the next little bit so I can go to Rumbi grill as much as possible. {I really wanted to be one of the first 100 customers to get free Rumbi for a year but Travis thinks I'll get sick of it. I should camped over night just so I could prove him that I don't think it is possible to get tired of eating it.}
And this picture is our dinner we made with the new grill I got Travis for Father's Day. He is so excited to have a grill and plans to only cook meals that can be cooked on the grill when Aniston and I are gone to California next month.

{isn't he such a cute DAD}
