Sunflower Summer Photo Shoot

The product of our trek through tall sunflowers swarming with mosquitoes! :) 

This and That

Here are just a few enjoyable pictures of Ember of some new things she has learned to do or her just plain being cute!

Playing in her diaper box

Super Baby!!

Love these little butt and leg rolls

No Hands! Now Ryken would really call her a "puppy"

Welcome Baby Evelyn Claire Kayser!

Evelyn Claire arrived at 12:30 am on Sunday, August 18 weighing in at about 7.5 lbs. 

Dustin and I got to bring them a meal and meet the little sweetie! She is precious! Can't wait for many play dates for Ember and Evelyn!

FARGO VISIT!! :) :)

Ember and I had the absolute JOY of getting to fly to North Dakota and see Uncle Chris, Aunt Ally, and Cousin Ryken. Here is a brief overview of our splendid trip!

<MONDAY>

We arrived Monday night! Ryken gave us a very warm welcoming and then him and Ember got right to playing!

<TUESDAY>

We started the day off with a nice, rather warm, walk to the Farmer's Market along the Red River.

We went to the very crowded splash pad. Ryken LOVED it but Ember was a little scared of the splashing and the running kids.

Then, we got a Jolly Rancher Popsicle (YUM YUM) and hung out in the shade for a little while! 

And the fun did not stop during the day - BATH TIME at night!

<WEDNESDAY>

After a little morning play time...

... the babies were ready for their photo shoot! Megan did a GREAT job at capturing our adorable little children.

That night we got to go and see the Brucks NEW home being built.Then, MORE play time! And Ember got some Uncle Chris time too which she enjoyed! :)

<THURSDAY>

We had a stupendous time at the Red River Zoo looking at the animals and playing on the carousel. 

Had to end with some Dippin Dots

<FRIDAY>

Last day :( 

Cousin hugs!

And Ember being a BIG girl sitting in the airport holding our boarding pass!

SO THANKFUL THAT WE WERE ABLE TO VISIT! I FELT SO BLESSED TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME WITH MY BEST GIRL FRIEND AND SISTER ALLY AND HER PRECIOUS SON! CAN'T WAIT TO MEET THE NEW LITTLE BABY BRUCKS IN A MATTER OF MONTHS!
