Catch Up #2

On July 4th we took the kids to the zoo for the first time. Brady slept the whole time but Lily loved seeing the animals.

In the middle of July we received bad news. My grandpa on my mom's side had lung cancer that had spread to his brain. He went to the hospital on a Saturday evening and within a couple days was already not remembering people. I took the kids to see him on Tuesday and thankfully he did remember me. 

Heres the only picture I have of him with Brady. 

He was able to go home after a week in the hospital. On July 23rd, he passed away with my grandma and his children by his side. 

August came and we celebrated our 4 year anniversary as well as my 28th birthday. 

Hubs got me my first pair of boots as my anniversary/bday gift!

Love them!

We also attended a Chris Cagle concert this month. Thanks to my sister in law for the tickets! It was first concert we've ever been to together.

September 1st we celebrated Brandon's birthday. 

A few days later we found out my brother & sister in law are expecting their second child. I can't wait to see if I'll be getting another niece or nephew in May!

Fast forward to September 21st. Lily's 3rd birthday!! I took her to get her very 1st manicure...or basically just nails painted. She got to pick out the polish which was of course glitter. She was very shy the whole time until we left. ;) I think she enjoyed it anyway. 

Later that evening we had a small party at our house with family. She had a blast! 

September 28th, we went to the local pumpkin patch with my brother, sister in law, & my nephew. All of the kids had a great time! 

A few days later it was October. Here's a few pictures to show you what we did this month. 

Lily decorated her pumpkin in Hello Kitty duct tape.

We visited my grandma in the nursing home.

We played at the park.

Had to get a new mailbox. :(

Got our family pictures taken!

Got treats at the Zoo, saw the penguins, & went trick or treating!

Happy Halloween!!
