Well we sure have had a busy summer...Abby experienced her first fireworks, celebrated her 1st birthday, is officially crawling and trying to walk on her own and loved the beach! She is a very healthy and happy/exciting little girl. It's amazing to see how she has grown over the past year and watch her learn so many new things and see her reaction. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful little girl! Below are some pictures to recap the summer:

It was another year at the beach and everyone had a great time. This year Abby didn't sleep the whole time she was there since she was almost a year old and loved the sun and sand. She is definitely a beach baby. She enjoyed the ocean, love the pool and like most little kids ate sand. She also figured out how to crawl on the sand, so no more army crawling and boy does she move fast. She loves for Lee to chase after her and squeals every time...just so cute. While we were there we decided to celebrate her first birthday and she loved the cake, dug into it and got chocolate icing all over her face and in her hair. We then did a little celebration actually on her birthday where she got a little vanilla cupcake and wore her hat. She enjoyed herself and got tons of presents...1st year down and many more to go!

| Mmmmm...cake! |
Lee has also been busy working on the built it in the sunroom. He has made wonderful progress and is more than half way done. We are waiting on the doors for the far side and he needs to work on the bridge in between the two bookshelves. He only gets one shot at it, so he needs to make sure it is perfect. We've already added Abby's toys to cubbies and they are wonderful.
Abby officially got to see her first CSU football game and she was decked out to cheer them on. GO RAMS!
On top of the built in, Lee is prepping for the 2013 holiday lighting shows. This year he has expanded the Christmas display to include the top of the house, mini trees, and has increased the number of lights from 3,500 to 6,800 LED lights. With only 114 days left until Christmas he has a bunch of prep work left to do. In addition to the expanded Christmas display, Lee has added a Halloween lighting display to the mix! That display with include 3,100 LED lights, a custom wireframe, tombstones, and foam carvable pumpkins. Only 59 days to get that one done too. This year he is entering two neighborhood holiday display contests and is very excited to show off his new hobby to everybody. Once the displays are complete we will post pictures, videos, and hopefully a couple of House of the Season winning signs!
