Baby Aimsley

Christopher is in Denver for the month of September and last weekend Reese and I flew out to visit him. As much as we miss him, I don't know that we would have made the trip without the extra motivation of this sweet little one.

One of my best friends, Michelle, had her first babe. Needless to say Reese was smitten by little Aimsley Mae. She is pretty darling and a very good baby! It was so great to see Michelle and Porter and watch them turn into love sick fools like we all do when a baby makes three (or four, five, six ya know whatever number you are on). 

Reese also loved their other baby, I think a little more then he loved her . . .

but seriously Indo is the best dog in the world. I don't really like dogs that much but I would take Indo home with me anyday. 

When Dad wasn't at the hospital we spent all the time we could with him.

We had a great time of course you wouln't guess we spent that much time together by my lack of picture taking but we went to the zoo, had a picnic in the park, Christopher took Reese for an afternoon while I took a much needed nap! It was nice to be with him. He loves us and we love him, its always better when we're together. 

Thanks Michelle for letting us crash your house for a few days! 

Dougherty Family Fun

 We got to see Christopher's family while we were out west too. Travis, beautiful Ade and two of their four boys Trav and Aiden made it up to Salt lake to see us! We met at Christopher's Grams house and spent the day together. I wish Gram was in this picture. She is so sweet and we loved spending time with her as well. Its always nice to see her! Reese had never met these cousins but her and Aiden hit it off pretty great. If I ever have boys I hope they turn out as great as these boys are. I wish we could have seen Michael and Tanner too. 

 Reese loved Ade, she is such a great aunt. I wish so bad we lived closer. It would be so fun to be able to go to some football games again! 

Here is a Video of Aiden making Reese laugh. He was sooo good to her. I loved watching them together.

Thanks Ade for making the extra trek up to see us. We are so grateful you did. We love you guys so much!

Mary Gets Married!

In August we got to go spend two weeks with my Family celebrating my little sister Mary and her new husband Ryan. We love these two peeps and were happy to travel the world for them!! First we had a reception in MI.

Ryan and his new Seeesters, minus Roxy.  

 This chick basically ate srawberries and tried to feed this bunny flowers all night. 

 She stole a few Specs from this guy too.

*Explanation of what I mean by specs*

See those yellow ball flowers on my dads shirt. Well Reese has a small obsession with Horton Hears a Who, and when I say small I actually mean she is crazy about that elephant and his spec on a clover. My dad gave her one of those yellow flowers and told her it was her spec. She walked around for a week straight holding onto her spec talking to the Mayor of whoville. It was pretty darling. Every once in a while she would come around the corner saying "HELLO Mayor are you there? Hello?". It was pretty funny to watch her little mind work. 

After the reception in Michigan we packed up and moved it out west to Salt Lake City.  I wish I had more pictures of Mary and Ryan because they looked great but somehow I don't. I don't even have a picture with them at all. I hate when I don't take the pictures I am actually going to want, but here are a few from her beautiful wedding day.

 Reese Loved the flowers and wanted everyone to know how good they smelled. That is her sniffing face.

 Isaac, Reese and Jackson

At the reception being silly. 

I am so mad at myself about the lack of pictures I have. But I do have one more good story I need to document. 

Reese was really cranky while we were waiting for Mary and Ryan to come out of the temple. So when picture time came around she was not having any of it (could explain the lack of pictures). Once the big group shots were over my dad came and took Reese and Isaac for a walk, all by himself i'd like to add. About a half hour later when I am done with pictures I am walking back to the hotel which is right across the street from where the wedding took place. I am crossing the street when I look to the other side and I see a naked (diaper only), barefoot Reese and Isaac who looks like he has chocolate all over his face. They are walking across the street hand in hand with my dad not with a care in the world. I meet them at the other side only to see Isaacs face is not covered in chocolate but in blood. My dad took them to get a cookie. Reese picked out a cookie that was covered in blue icing so he took her dress of b/c he did not want to get in trouble if she messed it up. Which makes sense I am just not sure why it never made it back on, I am still not sure why she was barefoot though. Isaac had tripped and busted his face on a curb. I love this story because despite how they looked they all were so happy to have escaped the wedding craziness for just a minute. It was really sweet to see my dad loving it too.

Here is a little video of Reese in the hotel room still dressless but oh so happy to not be in the sun taking pictures.

It was such a beautiful day.
