blueberry picking

we went blueberry picking again this year, this time with friends, and i am consistently annoyed at how hot it is outside! why are blueberries in season in july?! it's just rough. beckett thought it was fun though and heath thought it was fun to eat a thousand blueberries. since i spent most of the time chasing heath through a blueberry orchard, beckett is the only one that actually picked blueberries and put them in the bucket, so we barely took any blueberries home. like maybe 50 cents worth! it's okay though because blueberries are kind of gross. yeah, i said it!

jordan and brandon got married!

at the end of the month zac's sister, jordan, got married (to brandon!) in olympia at her parent's home. since i am all up in everybody's business when a wedding is involved, we somehow pressured them into inviting us and i was so happy because i like them and i like weddings. i always feel a tad anxious about weddings that are held at venues that don't normally accommodate weddings because it is so much more work and there is so much to think about, but they did a really great job! you could really tell how much thought and effort went into the event and there were a thousand tiny personal details which are really the best part about weddings, am i right? here are lots of photos, but also... congrats to jordan and brandon, we wish you a lifetime of happiness and i look forward to being all up in your business again one day in the future pushing for a baby shower invite. no pressure. ha. i stole the fist picture off of their photographers website, but after that it's just my pictures!

clay's first haircut!

excuse me while i just pretend that clayton is my child for a moment and start documenting all his milestones on the blog. just kidding. only one milestone. whitney gave clay his first haircut while the bruners were up visiting and first haircuts are just a big deal. heath even hand fed him some blueberries during the process because we are nothing if not excellent hosts. the haircut went well (putting scissors right by the face of a tiny, wiggling, not understanding the situation person would stress me out, but whitney seems fine about it) and clay looked so handsome with his new cut. he l also looks three years older. haircuts! you're so sneaky. also! i just realized that i think whitney has given every boy cousin in our family their first haircut. now its a weird tradition we'll have to follow forever. 

saige is twenty four!

on saige's real birthday we went to her house and everybody brought one of her favorite foods and we had a weird mixture of disgusting things for dinner. nothing individually was disgusting (except maybe the burger king chicken fries), but it was a strange group of foods to be eating together. we were in charge of bringing taco truck tacos... if you're wondering. 

anyways, that weekend for her birthday party, we went to a beach in seattle and roasted s'mores. since yiayia was here, matt and i got to go kid free and i can't say i hated it. plus, beckett thinks the beach and s'mores are the worst. or maybe not. happy birthday to auntie saige... the time is flying by. it seems like just yesterday i was doing your hair in a million braids to look like dreadlocks for your birthday party because we are the strangest and here you are now all grown up and with zero braids in your hair. and a year away from being a quarter of a century! duh duh duh. next year we'll do a million braids again for sure.
