Visiting Grandma and Grandpa Gardner

On our trip to Utah we stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Gardner's house for dinner and to celebrate J Man's birthday.  Grandma Vance made some delicious Mexican food and some tasty cupcakes for all of us to enjoy.  It was a great dinner and a great visit!

Trek

This summer, Mr. M and Lady K got to participate in our stake pioneer trek.  It was such a great experience for them.  Lady K made her outfit as part of her personal progress.  It was a wonderful opportunity that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Our Baby

This boy is so LOVED!!

Happy 10th Birthday!!

J Man finally had a great birthday party.  His birthday is in the summer and so often we are traveling on his birthday or his friend are out of town and can't make it to his parties.  He planned a lot of fun games and activities for his friends and they all had a great time!

Ice cream cake is the new favorite at our house!!

We love this kid!!  Such a kind, happy boy!!  Happy Birthday!

4th of July Party

This year for the 4th of July we went to a local parade then had a bunch of families over for a BBQ and fireworks.  It was a great day for all of us and a super fun way to celebrate Independence Day.

Everyone seemed to find a patriotic outfit!

J Man, Baby R and Big B waiting for the parade to begin.

Our corner spot on the parade route.  We went right before the parade started so it was a challenge to find a decent spot.

Some friends joined us at the parade.  There was so much candy thrown that it was like halloween (hence the big bags.)

So much candy to eat!!

Fireworks in the backyard.

JD is such a cute little baby.

Best Friends!!

End of the Year

We were so glad when school ended!  Here are some of the highlights.

Spring Sports

With a newborn and a 2 year old and all the kids in sports this spring life was VERY crazy.  We had fun watching all the kids compete! Sadly we have no picts of Little L and J Man.  Little L did Swimming and Volleyball and J Man was in Football.

Mr M is the one with the baton
