The Summer is here... and so is Elle!

My little brother and his fiance came down this weekend.  We had a great time and not only is she DARLING but super NICE too!  It was a HOT weekend and we had hoped for better weather for their stay.  It was fun anyway.  They started off the weekend with a day at Disneyland and then we went to the beach, dinner, date night and to our grandparents with them.  It was FUN!

Beach day!

Dinner at Javiers!  Haven LOVED the chips as you can see...



Later that night we met up with Andrew and Elle for some ice cream.  We ended up checking out this new candy store right by my house (I'm in trouble) called "Powell's sweet shop"!  They had sooooo much inventory!  I have never seen that much candy in one place.  I think you could find ANYTHING you were looking for!  It was great!

They also have homemade gelato!


See these candy pills?  I will be needing them in about 2 weeks when I turn 30!!!  Ahhh!

SUMMER said...

Meg and Sarah! Yes- they are getting married Nov.1 in the Newport Beach Temple down here. They will also have their main reception here in So. Cal. They are CUTE CUTE CUTE together. Katie and Tanner were in Oregon visiting Tanner's family. He had a business trip there and Katie and the kids went too.

ummm...who is the tall guy in the photos?

SUMMER said...

Meg- I am guessing the guy with us at Javiers? That is my brother's good friend. His parents live next door to my parents and he and Drew graduated from H.S. together and were rommies for awhile. He is a HOOT!

Danielle said...

Super cute. Elle totally fits in with your family! I can't wait to meet her. Glad your gig for Archuleta went well. I know you worked your butt off prepping for the big day!!

I love that you've made Elle a pretty popular gal. All your readers feel like they now know her. Well I'm in love with her bathing suit but only she can wear that cuteness!
We just got a Powell's down here on 2nd street. Total fun store.

Shell- it is an H&M dress and it was only $12.90! Do you want me to look for one in your size and send it up? It would be perfect pregnant and not pregnant. Let me know!

We loved Powell's too! A whole wall with just chocolate. Could you ask for more? Your new sister in law is beautiful. She looks so put together on the beach. I am usually sweaty and gross by the end running after kids!

Anonymous said...

Tarah said...

please don't tell my girls about the new candy hot spot! I don't know what has gotten into me but I let the girls buy some sour patch kids at henrys and I am the one eating most of them. You look adorable as always Summer. I have to say you will be the youngest looking 30 year old ever! You couldn't pass for 25

Jessica said...

how fun to have a new sista'... she seem nice and it looks like your kids like her.

Elle is beautiful. Just perfect for Andrew. What a fun sister in-law she will be. Looks like your girls loved her too.

Perley Family said...

Oh my goodness, what an adorable couple! Seriously, they look like they were made for each other. She is too cute! She will be a great addition to your family.

Tiffany said...

What a fun family addition! I wish that I had a cool sister in law!! :)

Marcy said...

How darling is she? I can't wait to have a SIL on my side of the family. I'm hoping things work with Robs current girlfriend. We'll see!

I was curious to know what that new sweet shop was like. Looks fun!

And you look adorable as ever-don't sweat the 30, though I too can't believe I'm 30. It's a weird age to turn, I think it's cause I still feel 16, but with a ton more responsibility. lol

Marcie said...

You crack me up how you change outfits throughout the day for different events! Elle and Andrew are quite the cute couple. Where are they getting married?

Abi said...

Wow! You have been busy Summer! How fun is that working with Archuleta! Nice work! Your sister in law is really cute and sounds like she is super sweet! I can't believe how hot it has been--today was nicer though!

Jenny said...

Elle is darling, and seems a great fit for Drew. And that candy store? Hello, free day!!!

D-dawg said...

Summer, she is the cutest thing! It seems you all get along so well- I'm so happy for your family!

Lesley said...

What a fun time! That candy store is amazing! It is a very good thing that I don't live by something like that or I would be in trouble! Your new soon-to-be sister-in-law is so cute! I am so excited for your family!
