August/ Sept: Eli turns 4(!) at the beach, Enchanted Forest, Ben plays more soccer, playing in the leaves!

Enchanted Forest!

Eli's Birthday at the Beach - Labor Day weekend.

(the beach ice cream cake from Dairy Queen - Yum!)

Love this next one...

The boys could not get enough of the water...  It was so warm I actually would have considered jumping all of the way in.  For a moment.

We are knee deep in soccer for Ben...  He's having a blast and gaining confidence and skills every game!

 

Nice header, Ben!

The leaves just started falling...

 

Ben's soccer camp and Adam and Stephanie's Wedding!

Ben attended a week long soccer camp in July.

Adam and Stephanie's Wedding finally arrived! Andy was a groomsman and Ben and Eli were ring bearers.  After some convincing (er, bribing with the LEGO movie), they started to get pretty excited about getting all dressed up and walking down that aisle.  It was a beautiful wedding in a beautiful ballroom in downtown Portland.  We all had a very fun time but I got no pictures of the actual 'walking down the aisle', so hopefully the photographers did!  I did manage to get a few of the boys in their suits, and snapped a few shots during the evening.  We are so excited for Adam and Stephanie to be married!!!

Dressed up for rehearsal dinner...

 Getting all suited up just before the ceremony.

 Lovely photo of us...

 These next 2 were the best we got...
