Fun times with the grandparents!!

Labor day weekend, my parents, sister, Grandpa and Aunt Leslie came to visit. It was a FULL house but fun to have everyone together. We spent lots of time walking around with Parker, eating out, and catching up. Good 'ol fashioned family time. It was a LONG trip for everyone we know, but so worth it to have all of us together. Here are some pics of 4 generations of Lund's!

Lastly...here is an awesome video of my sister playing with Parker....this is what it's like when she's around Parker. Love ya sis...you are a wonderful Auntie.

walking:)

Anyone know how to flip these "flip" videos? I was a little disappointed in the quality of this supposed HD Flip we have. Oh well, I think you all get the point. She is walking everywhere. This is SUCH a fun stage:) Have a fun Saturday, we are off to the pumpkin patch!! As you all know...October is only 5 days away!!! My favorite month and holiday that I wait all year for:)

I had some helpers for present time. Addy and Isaac, thank you:)

This pic says it all. My little party girl had an awesome day!

Those of you that know me, know that I LOVE throwing parties. I giggle like a little girl just thinking of party themes and decoration ideas. So Parker's first birthday has been in the plan book for "awhile." I just love to see everyone enjoying themselves and as she gets older, I hope she enjoys them as much as I love throwing them.

Though Kevin was a little worried that this might be a problem in the future, as we were EXTREMELY exhausted after it was over. Him saying, "Are we really going to do this every year?" Me, "Well, yes of course!"

Thank you to Wexler and my in-laws for all their help and for everyone who made the trip to visit! We had a blast.

Here's to another wonderful year pumpkin. Love you SO much Parker.

Morning ride on the Columbia - Kev-o

I LOVE water skiing

Mike Huber, obviously WAY better than us:)

So we have now figured that for a straight two 1/2 months we have either been gone or had company. BUT, we wouldn't have it any other way:) However, my body is paying for it. Since I am home sick with strep (which is what I always got at WSU if I had too many nights of fun), I thought I should catch up on my poorly neglected blog.

First Catchup....Wenatchee. We went to visit for Kev's birthday weekend to celebrate his day, our good friends the Eastman's possible birth of their daughter (she was due that weekend), and to see all our friends! Here are some pics of our home away from home:)

Love and miss you guys and hope to see you soon, and meet Baby Ellie!! Congrats to the Eastman's and their beautiful daughter who was born the day before Parker and Kristin's (mamma) birthday!
