Memorial Day

For this day we were able to spend time with our son Carter and decorate his headstone. We were also able to visit Brandon's and Grandpa's place of rest and were able to put beautiful flowers on there site. It was a really nice day the day before and it rained all day Monday so we took I am glad we took these pictures on Sunday. All in all it was a nice day.


NBA Parties

We would all gather to watch the jazz play and were sad when they lost but we had a great time watching them play. Tavis loved it because it was just more time he could spend with McKenna whom each just loves. . .it's so cute! and we got to spend time with friends and just hang out. I am so glad we all were able to play.


Grandma and the Boys

One afternoon we stopped by to see grandma and show her Tavis' new hair cut. He knows i am taking a picture so he does his cheesey smile. . .it's so funny!


Zip Line! Wahooo Whooo

So here they finally are! Going back through the pictures was interesting and I will have you know that the little harness you have to wear is extremely uncomfortable. We had a great time and loved every minute of it! The longest line was 666 feet and it was soo cool! Well that's all
late.

My First Hair Cut

He is so funny with the faces these days! I actually cut his hair or just the front of it anyways because it was in his eyes so much but then he looked like he had a mullet so I shaved it all but because he has such fine hair the shaver could only do so much so don't look closely because it's all sorts of lengths, but we like it.

A Day at the Park

He Loves Girls!! Carrie and I and Jackie took an afternoon to play at the park and we had a blast. It was Tavis' first time in a swing or on a slide so he didn't really connect the dots but I had a great time. He's really into clapping these days and so when he gets excited he claps as you will see in the swing picture. Mckenna just loves Tavis so they played and she loves to give him hugs it's so cute and Tessa just likes to be his care taker I love it!! He tried to eat chalk but I stopped him before he got his overdose of calcium and other than that is was a nice afternoon.





Bowling with the Sealy's

A couple of weeks ago we went on a double date with Shea and Jackie Sealy. We went to Chili's or dinner and then went Cosmic bowling. I am a horrible bowler mainly because I have no muscles and everyone else were great bowlers and Jackie was the hit of the night!! Well, until the very end when they all had one bad bowl and I had one great one and it turns out I won by 1 point!! Wahoo! Well the second game we bowled for Ice Cream. The couple that looses has to take the other couple out for Ice Cream and I had an okay game and everyone else had a horrible game and I won again! Really thanks to me Nathan and I won! It was so fun. We were glowing and Tavis and McKenna were just great and it was way past their bed time so we really did have a great night! Tavis did get cranky toward the end so we needed to head for home and skipped out on the Ice Cream . . .but don't worry we haven't forgot. . . oh wait we still have thier ice cream in our freezer so it all evens out.
