meeting baby nathen

On August 5th, our sweet nephew, Nathen Edward Tatum was born!! We couldn't get to Vacaville quick enough to meet him, hold him, and give him lots of our Love!

while Madison was napping, the big kids went swimming 

On one of the mornings that we were visiting in Vacaville, we took the short drive to Vallejo to see Great Grandma and Pop.

checking out Pop's shop...so many "treasures" inside

lunch at their favorite restaurant

 We also made a stop at the Jelly Belly Factory. So fun!

merritt wedding

These two have been the best of friends since elementary school! 

Just last month, we went to Jeremy and Franchesca's wedding at the Santa Margarita Ranch, just outside of San Luis Obispo. Aaron was one of Jeremy's groomsmen. The location was absolutely beautiful. It was the funnest wedding we have been to in a very long time!

the reception was held in this barn, gorgeous!!

The girls love to help Daddy wash the cars!!

Madison was playing in the bucket most of the time

stick with the bucket, Sissy

Audrey preferred the hose

she didn't always use it to spray the car

pay back!!

the result, ha!

the gutter is always fun

summer fun

We were gone quite a bit this summer, but when we were home, we kept busy and tried our best to stay cool in the heat!!

we made weekly trips to Wild Water Adventures, using the season passes that were gifted to us from Nani and Papa

Audrey rode the four mat slides by herself, and she probably would have gone on more had she been a little taller

this ride was her favorite this summer

bike rides to Rite Aid for ice cream

popsicles with friends

play dates at the park

many rides to Todd Beamer park to cool off in the water and eat delicious snow cones

the new sea lion cove at the zoo is pretty awesome!

Labor Day weekend at Millerton Lake with the Loves
