Sisters

Never mind the two other chairs, we'll just sit together on the bench. :)

The new trikes are a hit!

The girls have been getting some practice on their new trikes.

Morgan likes to push hers

At home, they like to push their babies around

Nolan's 1st Birthday Party

I can't believe Nolan is already a year old! We celebrated with a party at his Grandma Sally's house. Lots of yummy food and fun things for the kiddos to do. They decorated a pumpkin, jumped in the bounce house, played outside and Avery's favorite - got a bunch of stickers!

Not so sure about the strap on the hat

Happy 1st Nolan!

He wasn't so sure about the cake

Mommy and Avery selfie (the girl loves cake)

Sammy Fund Weekend

This was the 15th and final Sammy Fund Weekend! The girls had a blast playing with their cousins Grayson and Nolan. Matt and I had fun golfing and hanging out with my family. It's sad that it's ending, because it's like a big family reunion every October.

Of course, it wouldn't be the Sammy Fund Weekend if there weren't new additions into the family... two years ago, Matt and I missed the SF because the girls were born (10/5/12). Last year, Sandi and Brett missed the fun because Nolan was born (10/13/13). And this year, Erin and Ross were at the hospital with my two newest nephews, Hunter and Beckett, who were born on 10/8/14! Grayson is the odd man out being born just after the end of October on 11/3/12. Lots of birthdays in a short period of time!

Some pictures from the weekend...

First trip to Steak-n-Shake

Avery wouldn't wear her hat, so I wore it
