E-4 S-2

The summer of birthdays is slowly 
coming to a close!

We begin in May with Ritchie, then
there's Ethan on the 7th of June and
sweet Sophie Belle on the 17th, 
followed by Emma Grace on the 
4th of July!
{she's definitely a firecracker!}
{We also have Fathers Day in the mix as well!}
Abby and Mommy are the odd balls,
being in September and December!

We celebrated Ritchie's bday
at Disney World,
and went home to Amarillo for
Fathers Day weekend!
We drove strait in on Friday and
headed to Wonderland
{per Ethan's birthday request!}


 Ethan in his 'cool car'

 The girls in their pink car!



We met Nana, Jill,  Josh, Molly & Ellie
and Mammy & Poppy! 



Emma, Mommy, Mammy & Abby rode the
Rainbow ride...I must say, Mammy and Mommy 
were looking at each other like....'what did we get ourselves in to?'
Ha! Just a little bit scary! 

in my opinion, THE Worlds BEST Daddy! 

Coolest birthday party ever!  

Soph and Ells! 

Sophie and Emma 

Ethan's and Molly's fav-The Bumper cars! 

We enjoyed a lazy day enjoying the lovely Amarillo 
weather! I miss the beautifully cool mornings and evenings!
{compared to the sticky oven you walk out in to
 in FW :/ even in the mornings}


working in the yard with Daddy!

 check out those amazing rainboots!


cutie pie!



3 generations of Lane men! 
Thankful for each of them :) 

Look at all of those beautiful flowers!
My Mother-in-law definitely has a green thumb :) 


the ever lovely Emma Grace



 and our beauty, Abby Beth


a little sprinkler fun! 

It's always so nice to go home and see
friends and family, especially one of the cutest
Grandmothers in the world!
 Emma and her Great Grandmother, aka
GG :)
Emma is named after GG's mother,
Emma Belle {sweet Sophie Belle is also named after her!}
 so special! 

Abigail and GG :) 

some and I mean some of all the cousins! 

Sasha & Jeff's family shower!
{cousins-Kim, Jill, me & Sassy :)} 

After a delicious breakfast celebrating GG's 96th 
birthday, we headed to Hillside & celebrated 
Father's Day with this special guy..

 We are so lucky to have him as husband 
& {Super}Dad :) there really are no words
to describe how wonderfully blessed we all are by him!
We LOVE you Ritchie :)
#worldsbestDaddy

We sadly said goodbye to Ritchie
for the week, as he headed back to FW
for work that week, as we hung out and 
relaxed at Mammy & Poppy's!

 she's completely outgrown the need for it,
yet it's cool again! 

one of the many times Mammy washed 
those sweet little hands! 

Two years earlier {on Fathers Day}we had 
joyfully welcomed this fiery red head 
{slowly turning blonde!} 
into our world, she is the missing piece
to our puzzle. She completes us in a way 
we never thought she could! She is more 
loved than any other baby sister I've met! 
Both her sisters and her brother think that she is their baby, 
they love to dress her, play with her, play trains with her, carry her,
{usually against her will} feed her, mother her,
love her!
We all jump up the minute we hear her 
sweet little voice joyfully declaring that 
she has awoken!
It's still a fight to see who gets the first 
kiss, hug, snuggle!
She is our Sophie Belle
and is loved more than words!





I mean really, isn't she The Sweetest?

The first thing I said Ritchie after she was 
born was 'Isn't she the sweetest baby?'
There's just something about her!
Ugh...sometimes I cannot stand her cuteness!
She is a doll!



We went to Campa & Lolli's to celebrate 
Ethan & Sophie's bdays, a fun evening that 
ended in a fabulous water gun fight!






Josh was so much fun to aim for! 
Then he'd chase you...such a fun Uncle! 



Campa is pretty smitten with his Sophie girl!


Baby Big girl Sophie going to bed a 1 year old, 
waking up a big 2 year old!

Sophie's birthday breakfast...an absolute must! 



Cherry is our favorite!
YUM!




Emma, Abby, and Ethan went to VBS
all week long in the mornings
at FBC and it was absolutely amazing! 



that afternoon we all went swimming
at the Town Club!



hey there adorable birthday baby!


Nana got the kids some fun floaties! 

 such a fun afternoon!

just a snapshot of the love she has for her baby sister... 


Ethan & his bff, Molly :) 


oh...he's goin' for it...

aw, almost Buddy! 

I'm outta here! 

 Emma went down the big slide! Yay EGL!

we ran in to more cousins at the pool, so fun!

A real princess always wears her crown!



After the pool E & A had a little playdough fun while 
Bubbie & Soph napped! 



All dolled up for June Jazz in the park for her birthday!
{The Martinis were playing! One of our favs!
Also the band that played at our wedding!} 

Prancing around... 

a lovely picnic dinner, fruit, 
cheese, crackers! 

my adorable almost Kindergartener! 


Poppy's chair, Poppy's sunglasses...

she always does this when she puts on sunglasses,
rolls her shoulders forward & rocks back on he heels...
funny girl-she's a character! 

One of the only times we saw Bubbie,
the rest he was running around in the grass with
a sweet little friend that he made! 



that hair... 

HOW is this sweet baby 2 already?
I blinked and she was 2...


Emma & Emmie,
sweet little lifelong friends :) 


High Noon on the square picnic fun! 


Enjoying the music with Mammy! 

the kids all found VBS friends there too! 

VBS Family Fun Night! 

My best friend, Ashley's Dad
was working the bow & arrow booth,
he let Ethan go like 10x in a row...
bc he was his little buddy!
We love Dr. Gerald :) 

blowing up balloons booth with Poppy! 









 Did I mention that they love their Poppy?


Dress up at Mam Jerry's :) 

We met Sarah, Jared, baby Sam,
Mallory, Andrew and little Staley
for snowcones one night...

Sarah and Sam...
seriously the most adorable baby boy! 

 cutest crew around!

Sophie & Staley, bff's for life! :) 


Such a wonderful week we had
in Amarillo spent celebrating Ethan & Sophie!
Learning more about Jesus at VBS and spending 
time with our amazing family! We love you guys :)
We are blessed!
