Tea at Rachel's

Lilly and I were invited to tea at my friend Rachel Beohm's house. Here is Lilly with Rachel's daughter, Julianna (Jules).

Brandon's 30th Birthday

August 2nd was Brandon's 30th birthday. We celebrated with family and friends at Grass Valley Park on August 4th.

6th Anniversary

Brandon and I celebrated our 6th anniversary, July 27th. We were in Sunriver. My parents watched Lilly while we had a relaxing afternoon at Jinsei Spa in Bend and ate a fabulous dinner at the Lodge.

This summer, Lilly learned how to play the piano! Okay, not yet, but she definitely loves it already.

4 Generations

Here is my Grandma, Nina Pettyjohn, my mom, Joanne, me and Lilly! We went to Albertina Kerr Restaurant, our favorite place to go with Grandma!

Cannon Beach

In mid-July, we went to Cannon Beach for the day. Lilly was just starting to sit up and she cut her second tooth that day too! Now she has her two bottom teeth and is working on her top teeth.

Fun with Friends!

This summer, Carly Christ (Jason & Lindsay's daughter) and Callie came over for a swim. On Fourth of July, we went to see Jenny and Bryan along with Jenny's family and many friends in Hood River. The fireworks were spectacular and we got to view them from deck. The best part was that we didn't have to drive home that night (but Lilly did). Brandon and I spent the night and went hiking and swimming in the Gorge the next day. Lilly spent the night with her Nana and Papa - the first time she was away from us!

On one of our trips to Sunriver, we visited the Lava Cast Forest. During an eruption, lava flowed around trees, buring them up, but leaving holes, or "lava casts" of the trunks. Lilly had a great time walking the one mile trail, even though it was nap time!

Lilly in Sunriver

Lilly had lots of fun going to Sunriver this summer! By the end of the summer, we will have taken her 7 times since she was born! Here is Lilly at Fort Rock Park with her Nana and Lilly hanging out with Emma, our Springer Spaniel.
