Summer Catch-Up

   I know I've been a bad blogger this summer... bad, bad, bad. My deepest apologies. In the next week or 2, I am going to try to buckle down and bring the people what they want!
  I know you're all dying to know what we have been up to. I will eventually get to Paisley's 1 year post and her birthday party post, I promise.
  Instead of doing a few little posts about our summer, I bring you this: a super-sized, giant, humongous,  larger than life, could there BE any more pictures? summer update.

We....
 tried to stay cool in our backyard "pool"...

did a little gymnastics...

 celebrated D's 30th birthday...

took a few pictures of Miss P (photo credit to the always fabulous April Murray)...

celebrated the 4th of July at the parade in Edmond (and I got my wisdom teeth out, which explains my chipmunk cheeks)...

 

relaxed at the lake with the Boyles family... 

showed off our super gymnastics skills at Schafer's birthday party...

went to Vegas, where we.... 
had 5 fabulous baby-free days (although we did miss her like crazy!)...

hung out in a bar that was 23 degrees...

played some slots...

played some roulette...

won big on the penny slots...

watched the fountains at the bellagio...

enjoyed the pool at the flamingo...

enjoyed some of the best food we've ever had...

listened to some music from Gordy...

enjoyed some drinks...

 enjoyed "cappuccino"...

found some cute boys...

had a great time going out...

got silly...

And finally, we...

turned ONE!!!

starting walking!...

enjoyed some birthday cake...

And now we're ready for warm days and cool nights, hoodies and warm socks, boots and sweaters, hot chocolate and snuggley blankets, orange fridays and early gamedays, pumpkin spice lattes and the smell of fall...

Arts and Crafts

Paisley's birthday party is tomorrow, and my house has been turned into arts and crafts central. I thought I would give you guys a peek into what we have been up to (and be we, I mean me)...

(just trying my hand at cupcake decorating... we won't be eating these!)

I know I owe you guys a few posts. I'll be back after the party!
