Month: August 2008

As many of you know, Dayla has the privilege of having 4 baby friends that were all born within a couple weeks of her. This is a blast for us…but in August it equaled “1st Birthday Party Madness.” In fact 3 of the parties were all on the same Saturday at different times! I am proud to say that we made it to all 3 parties. The weekend after was Dayla’s 1st birthday party. Here is a record of the events. It was a blast and we are so blessed. (If you are good at math you are wondering why we only attended 3 parties. This is because Dayla’s friend Haley lives in Austria. Although we were invited to her party too, we decided to pass due to the long flight and all.)

Dayla found a lawnmower to play with at Ethan’s. Doesn’t she look like she needs a beer in her hand too?

Yzzy as birthday girl.

The activity at Yzzy’s party was finger painting. It was wicked awesome! (Kaitlyn pictured)

Ellie as birthday girl.

At Ellie’s party Dayla found some shades. Looking cool, looking cool.

Last Saturday we celebrated our 5 year anniversary. To celebrate, we piggybacked a vacation on to a destination wedding outside of Vancouver, Canada for our friends Dave and Jody. It was a great second honeymoon trip since Grandma Sundin watched Dayla in LA for us. A few pictures of the trip are posted below. If you would like to see them all click on the link at the bottom of the post.

The below pictures are courtesy of Grandma Sundin. She sent these to us while we were on our trip to reassure us that Dayla was being well cared for.

I get all this!?!?

What is this thing? Mom never gave me one of these.
