Mandy, Brandon, and baby XY

My good friend Robin is going to be a 1st time grandma---in literally a few days!!! Mandy asked me.....or wait.......did I ask her..........to take some pictures of her adorable belly. We were holding our breaths as we have been trying to get together to take some pictures, hoping she didn't go into labor before we could get together. She is due Sept 3rd. Anyways, what fun we had taking some pictures---I think the lavender one is especially to die for.

Family Gathering

Blaine's mother's side of the family had a gathering at the Lakehouse this past weekend and we got to catch up and play a little bit! I am pretty sure the adults were outnumbered.... Nothing new about that I guess. Yikes! All Eden has been talking about all week is "The Lakehouse, Uncle Dave, Kolton, and the banana boat"

Little Jackson Martin

My old friend..............(emphasizing OLD)..............Laura visited with her number 2 baby. (ok, if you knew how long I've known Laura and how much she needs to be picked on from time to time-you will understand how really OLD she is-LOL) Jackson was born exactly one year after the twins-how fun is that? Anyways, he is giving Laura a run for her money-and I LOVE IT! She needs someone to keep her a little bit young. Ha! Anyways, he is such a little blond cutie and what a smile!

The girl's buddy---Owen

Owen, Olivia and their mommy came this afternoon for dinner and a play date! Yeah!
Jen brought the most delicious apples from their Orchard today and my mom made a very yummy apple topping-which was some seriously good stuff!

My Watering flower Children

There hasn't been a more fun activity for the twins this summer than watering gramma's flowers-they are lucky they didn't drown. And there were many cherry tomatoes eaten this summer-including green ones.
