We went up to Chicago in the middle of June so get Tori and Sofia's pictures taken together to give to my mom as a birthday gift. Needless, to say my mom loved it!
Later that same week, Rachel and Sofia came down for a visit and Rachel, Chris, and Claire were visiting from Texas so we met up one evening for dinner and playtime for the kids.

This is the best picture I could get of the three girls, from L to R, Claire (8 months), Sofia (9.5 months), and Tori (11.5 months).

Tori got her first kiss ever from a boy and it was open mouthed! Haha! We have no clue what prompted Chris to do this, but I am glad we caught it on camera!
We celebrated Tori's birthday on June 26th with a party at the fellowship hall at the church with our family and friends. The colors for the party were hot pink and yellow and Tori looked adorable!

I LOVE this picture of Tori! Right after we got her all dressed in her tutu she had to check herself out in the mirror!

I was (and still am) very proud of Tori's birthday banner. I made it myself!

Singing happy birthday to Tori. She couldn't wait to get her hands on that cake!

I have to admit she wasn't into the smash cake so I hid goldfish in it so we could get some good pictures!

Bath time at the church! She loved playing with the faucet.
On Tori's actual birthday we celebrated by going to the Peoria Zoo, lunch at Steak N Shake, shopping, and had our immediate family over for pizza.

At the zoo we saw Taylor, Tori's birthday buddy. They were born within two hours of each other! Taylor's dad plays softball with Devin and I went to school with her mom.

Wish there wasn't a smudge on the lens! Tori trying to check out the giraffes but she was too short.

Looking out over the Africa exhibit with Granny!

Tori picked out a stuffed turtle....she loves to chew on it.
That's all o have for now! I hope to update later in the week about what we did in July, August, and September so check back!
Thanks for checking in!
