100

On June 9th , 1913 a smart, witty, humble, generous, playful, loving, hard working, dedicated man was born. That's right, my Grandpa Dave turned 100 this summer!  INCREDIBLE! You'd never know he's that old if you met him. He's held up really well :) and is as sharp as a tac! He has created a fun and beautiful family and we came together to celebrate him, and his 100 years here. I love how he is so playful with my kids and that they are getting to know him. Here are a ton of pictures from our trip to Moraga for his party. Kendall had a wonderful time and since we've been home she liked to play "going to Great Grandpa's house". She loved getting spoiled by my cousin Karrin's 11 year old daughter, Molly.
We sure love Great Grandpa Dave!
Super babysitter, Molly!

Impromptu trip

Right after school let out Keith had the opportunity to caddy for his friend Clark in the State amature golf tournament. I wanted Keith to be able to caddy, but I was also nervous about staying home alone for several days with both kids. Luckily the tournament happened to be about an hour north of Longview so we took the week to go stay with my parents. It was such a fun impromptu adventure. Kendall was in heaven getting to spend extra time with my parents. But during the days it was just us while my parents were at work and Keith was at golf and Kendall loved exploring their house. I didn't get any picture of the laundry shoot but it was for sure a highlight for Kendall. After we came home that was her imagination game using her crawl tunnel and doll clothes. On the way home we stopped to shop at the Gap outlet.

This was a dress my Grandpa bought me from Austria when I was Kendall's age.
