Happy Birthday Daddy!



This year Tyler turned 29...and instead of making a breakfast the boys and I took him out to Farmer Boys...it was delicious!


Davis was so excited to go out to the restaurant. Tyler got a new hat...and loves it!


I brought candles and a lighter and we sang Happy Birthday to daddy...


The wind kept blowing the candle out! Oh well...


I told Tyler to take a picture of me...it's about time I have a picture of myself up on this blog...haha!


Eating outside was the best. Ryan played in the pile of rocks while the rest of us ate in peace...


He kept getting up and down...eating and playing....this kid is busy!


He kept telling daddy "goodopoohwa" and "gooscabupwa"...I don't have any clue what he was saying but we were trying not to laugh...he was so serious!


Trent was excited that I brought candles to sing Happy Birthday...he was also excited to go out to eat. He is looking at Tyler...he just loves his daddy : )


We had a fabulous time! But Tyler and the boys had to get home to get ready for school. It was a fun morning and I think that we will do this for every Birthday from now on, instead of making a mess in the kitchen : )

Back to School!!!



Davis is ready for this!


They were both SO excited to start school!


They both would not smile nice...


I was finally able to talk Trent into giving me one nice smile...


My boys crack me up!


Davis did not have a back pack but was determined to show off his lunch box...hahaha!


He is such a goofy kid!


Trent was nervous about Kindergarten...but he totally loves his teacher and friends!


I love my Trent!


Davis and Trent love school! They have made new friends and enjoy it so far. Let's give it a week...and then see what they say : )

Where has the time gone???



This summer has been unusually busy! It felt like we were constantly gone...but it has been a wonderful summer...even though Ryan has other things to say about it...


We went up to Bass Lake for a few days and everyone had a good time...even Ryan, though he was a little sick, and cranky. We went to the lake and while we were down at the lake Davis wanted me to take pictures of his 'boom boom dance'...


He is such a goofy kid!


Joel now works in Bakersfield and has been gone a lot! It was fun to steal a few pictures of their family...


I just love this picture...


The kids were so glad when Poppy and Memow came the next day...


It was beautiful up there...and extremely crowded! Bass Lake is a party lake and there are a lot of boats and a lot of people...We did have a good time because we got the best spot on the beach...


Eva is such a fun and spunky little girl! I just love this picture...


Oh Davis! You always make me smile...


Tyler put his chair in the water and made himself comfortable in the lake...


Alex is in deep thought here...He is trying to construct another sand castle...


This is sand castle number 6 or 7 I think...I don't know I lost count. The kids kept destroying them...and he kept building them...


Alex is so patient with the kiddos...


Ooh.....ahhh!


Finally!!! It is complete! Many threats followed this picture...Trent and Davis wanted to smash it so bad!


Liam Squium!


He was having such a good time at the lake!


After a long day at the beach we would head up to the cabin we were staying at. Thank you Millers for letting us stay at your cabin! Dinner time was one of the best parts of the day...


The food is good....everyone is happy...


It was such a beautiful place to stay...


Another day at the lake...Tyler had fun swinging Trent around...


I love Trent's face here...


He loves his daddy...so much fun!


Look at that smile : )


It was fun having a few days to spend together before school on Monday....


It was a great day!


Davis loved spending time with us too...haha...


The kids just loved digging in the sand. It was great...


After Tyler and Sammy went on a long kayak ride...and tipping over Liam was exhausted and fell asleep...in a kayak full of water! Poor baby...


He looks so uncomfortable! It was a fun few days and we had such a good time! Hopefully we can do it again : )


This was actually a few days before the lake...but these pictures made me smile so I am sharing these as well...Ryan usually smiles...he was mad at Trent though...what's new?


These two love each other! I am sure that they will miss each other very much when Samantha and Joel move to Bakersfield : (


They liked their shakes that I made...


Poor Davis needs his glasses cleaned...


Liam you are such a cutie!


Cousins....I LOVE these kids! It has been such a fun and busy, busy summer!!!
