Holy cow - I'm 28!

Dyl playing in her new fountain pool for the first time - she loved it! We were in there for at least an hour today, she's our little water baby. 

"This is pretty awesome, Mommy! I love summer!"

"What?? We're going to go to the beach for a whole week and get to play in the water EVERY day?!?"

A baby pool family picture. :) Dyl loved the sprinkly fountains. She kept trying to grab the water spouting up from them, it was too cute.

Having a drink of tasty well water out of Mommy's hands.

The best birthday present in the whole entire world! This is my first birthday with a sweet baby cakes in my arms, and I hope to get to hug Dylan on my birthday every year for the rest of my life. I love you so much, Dylan.

"Hey, Mommy, what's with all these crab shirts I'm wearing these days? I'm not sure what I think about this crab cake nickname anymore - I'm a good girl!" (This awesome shirt - made by my friend Andrea Ogle. We love it, Andrea!)

Kelly & Jesse modeling their awesome shirts for the Warrior Dash they're running in the day after their wedding. (Chad's running too - along with a few of Kelly & Jesse's friends. I predict a bunch of hungover dashers!)

Happy Birthday to me! Holding the best gift of all in my arms. Dylly thought my cake & candles were awesome. 

"Whoa, Mommy, that's a lot of smoke! You're old!" 

I love our little family - here & in Heaven. <3
