Autumn as flower girl

Chads cousin, Leslie, got married this summer in Bellingham, WA where Autumn was the flower girl. It was nice seeing the area as it was absolutely beautiful there! It was also one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever attended. Autumn and I went to Great Falls, MT before the wedding and my Aunt Heather and I made her dress. Unfortunately, the dress didn't stay in great condition after 2 wears (another flower girl wore it after Autumn), but it was perfect for when we needed it! Here are some great pictures at the wedding that Leslie shared with me. I think at least the bottom two are professional...sorry I don't know the name of the photographer to give him/her credit!

Breakfast and Cabellas

The night of Autumns birthday party she spent the night with her aunt and grandparents. In the morning we all met up for breakfast and went to Cabellas for a fun morning out.


Practicing her wink. She's getting better!

Annual Walsh BBQ cook-off

Here are some pics from the annual BBQ cook-off at the the Waslsh's (Chads Aunt and Uncle) on Labor Day. Above is their team. They roasted a whole pig! Too bad I didn't get a picture. :(

Below: The kids had fun too!


Above and below are our appetizers: Grilled baguette slices w/ olive oil, topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon, dill, and lemon.


For our main dish we had pulled pork sandwiches, but I didn't get any pics of those (we all know what they look like!). For desert (bellow) we baked brownies on the grill (yes, that's right!) and topped them with a homemade cream and sugared strawberries.
