What have we been up to since the end of July?

Hello everyone! Sorry about my massive behindness on the blog, I had a sort of rough first trimester, but I turned 12 weeks today and I've been feeling awesome! So, I have a rather long list of things to do to get our lives back on track and one of the things to do is blog! So, this will be the first of many 'catch up' blogs, plus Ben just taught me a way faster way to do all the photos so I'm hoping that will make me want to blog even more since I'll be able to do it in half the time! Alright, so here we go...

We planted a flower and herb garden this spring, this picture was taken in August and it's now the end of September and I'm looking at this picture and thinking how small everything looks!

Uncles Jesse and Jacob are always trying to find new things to impress Vanessa with!

We enjoyed a hot August day at the lake with Ben's family, here is Ben with Vanessa and our two nieces Maddie and Abbey...

All three girls really got comfortable with being in the water!

Here's our cutie pie!
