Stella's Birthday
A few weeks ago the kids attended there good friend Stella's 5th birthday party. Jennifer (Stella's Mom) did a great job with the party. There was a balloon lady, a bounce house, face painting, etc. It was a lot of fun. Below are some pictures from the party.
Pee Wee Soccer
For the month of June and July Pennington was in Pee Wee soccer with his besties Rowan and Henry. A few nights after soccer we would stay after to have a BBQ with some of the other families. It was a lot of fun for both the kids and the parents. Below are a few pictures from Pee Wee Soccer.
Family Photos - 2013
A few months ago we got family photos taken by one of my mom's co-workers. She did a fabulous job. Here they are.
Piper Rides a Two Wheel Bike (No Training Wheels)
She did it!!!! A few weeks ago before she turned 3 Piper figured out how to ride a two wheel bike with no training wheels. Nonni says she is pretty sure she is the youngest person she has ever known to ride a 2 wheel bike with no trainning wheels. Piper you ROCK!!!
Kaitlyn Haller's Wedding
Last night the kids were able to attend there very first wedding. Kaitlyn Haller is the youngest of the three Haller children. The Haller's were very good family friends of the Groves' family growing up. We lived next door to them for more than 10 of our childhood years.
Below are some photos of the family at the wedding. There was a photo booth at the wedding. The kids took several (okay probably more than 20) photos in the photo booth. Enjoy!

Piper/Pennington Birthday Party
Similar to last year we had a joint birthday party for the kids. Below is the invitation.
The party was pretty low key. We invited friends from school, Jewish friends, and a few other friends. We had dinner, played a game, ate cake and exchanged books. Below are some photos from the party.
Side note: I was all nervous about the smoke in the air from the fires. Little did I know that we would have hundreds of bees at the party. It was a mess but the kids still had a great time. We are looking forward to taking the books to St. Lukes in the coming weeks.
