"Real Housewives" Baby Shower

Nick has had the pleasure of playing in a golf league this summer - "Jackman Dew" and so the ladies decided to make Thursday nights when the guys are out playing ladies nights! The "Real Housewives of Jackman Dew" have had a wonderful summer of get togethers and last night we wrapped up a great social season with a surprise shower for our dear friend Jenny expecting a baby boy this December! Sharing these photos on my blog is the only way I can get them onto Pinterest, so enjoy! :) We can't wait to meet Baby Nolan!!! USE YOUR DAUGHTER'S CHALKBOARD FOR A CUTE WELCOME SIGN

august?!

i know, i know, it's the most cliche thing to say, but seriously how is it already august?! although i wish we could have had a bit cooler weather so we could play outside more at home, avery really has had an action packed summer! in july she took a 4 week kindermusik class (this was her 3rd session and i think we will sign up for fall too - this kid loves to sing!!) and we also got season passes at magic waters waterpark, so we have been trying to go once a week! i am SO looking forward to fall (smores, sweatshirts, bonfires, pumpkin patch & apple orchard, not to mention halloween!!) but i plan to enjoy this last month or so of summer by spending as much time in the pool and in the sun as we can!
