Last day of Summer

Well it's official, summer is over in our area of the world. We decided to make one last trip out on the boat before the rain arrived. Enjoy the pictures!

She's ready for the beach!

Jeff and Jaden catching clams. We're not sure if they are edible.

Jaden enjoying the tube. She used it as a trampoline.

This is Jeff, our hero, for paddling out to get Jaden's inner tube. What a Dad!

Denver

This weekend Jaden and I flew to Denver, CO to see our friends the Poates. Jeff had to work so I went with Jaden by myself. It was their daughter, Madeline's, first birthday. Jaden did great on the flight. Each flight was about two hours. She, thankfully, slept the first hour and played nicely the second. It was a great weekend. The weather was perfect, about 90 degrees. We even made it to the local water park, which of course, Jaden loved. Enjoy the pics.

This is Madeline who turned one this week. Jaden got her this cozy coupe ball pit, which she showed Maddie how to use. It was a hit. Even the parents like it.

Don't you hate that one naked picture your parents took of you when you were a baby? Well, Lisa and I decided this was too cute to not take a picture of. The girls liked taking a bath together. Well... Jaden did, Maddie was a little shocked to be sharing her tub.

This was the car ride back from Maddie's first birthday party. As you can see, they were exhausted. The party included a bounce house, bubbles, bbq, present, cake and ice cream. We were all excited to get back to the house to go to bed.

Jaden at the water park. She just cant get enough water.
