Happy Father's Day

We spent Father's Day up in Payson at my parents cabin. Both of my brothers came up with their kids, plus my parents, my grandma and us, so it was a full house. Never s quiet moment!

Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek at some new family photos. Brianne (Kathy's sister) came in town and took some pictures for us. We are so excited to see them, but here is what we have seen so far.... You can check out Brianne's blog. Her website is under construction right now.

Camping at the Lake

Over Mother's Day weekend we took a trip to Bartlett Lake with a group of friends. There were five couples that went along, plus Colton and Migo (Julie's dog). We camped out for two nights and had a great time out on the water. Colton wasn't sure what to think of the boat at first, he was so calm and quiet. (In case you didn't know this.....that is very abnormal for him!) He got more comfortable as the weekend went on and enjoyed hanging out with mommy and daddy's friends. For Mother's Day, the girls made breakfast for me (and everyone else too) and Kathy decided to through some Reese's Peices in the pancakes. I was a little nervous of them at first, but they were sooooo delicious. The peanut butter melts inside and makes the pancakes so yummy! You should try it some time!

Colton and Daddy were checking out all of the fish at the marina.

Having a great time!

Reading with his favorite buddy, Matt!!

I love the lake!

Girl's Trip

In May I had the wonderful opportunity to go with 6 of my girlfriends to San Diego. It was such a fun weekend! It was overcast and a little cool, so we didn't spend time at the beach. Instead we ate, shopped, relaxed and ate some more! I also got to see my friend Lacy while we were in town, so that was an extra treat.

Update.....Finally!

Baby Alexander arrived on April 30! Chad and Julie are proud parents of their healthy baby boy. Thankfully for Julie, the delivery was very quick. Chad said it was 1 and a half pushes! Zachary is a very proud big brother!! Congratulations! All of the cousins love "Baby Alexander"!

Old Neighbors....Great Friends!

Our neighbor's, Robbie and Susaan, moved to Louisiana back in July, but they finally came back to visit us over Easter weekend. It was so much fun having their whole family in town. We love them so much and miss them everyday! Colton loved having a full house and especially enjoyed having Trevor here. It was like having a fun, big brother! The VanEaton's. I can't believe how much the kids have grown in 9 months! Crazy girls!

Great Friends! (Mary, Susaan & Me)

Easter Eggs!

Colton had his first real Easter egg hunt in March with my Mom's group at church. Once he realized that there is something inside each egg, he was very excited. On Good Friday we had a neighborhood Easter egg hunt and Colton had to open each egg to see what was inside before moving on to the next one. By Easter Sunday, Colton was a pro and was ready for the Easter eggs at Grandma's house. A lot of jelly beans ended up on the ground because he insisted on opening every egg. Colton had a huge sugar high that day from so many sweet treats.....he thinks we should have jelly beans for breakfast everyday! Excited to see what is inside!
