Pictures with my boys before heading
to church.
































We got Nathan a fireman costume for
Halloween, and he liked it so much that
he wore it all morning and would not take
it off for his nap. I finally convinced him
to let his bear right beside him wear the hat.














































Jared loves to read books these
days, espcially touch and feel ones.
































Ahhh! I love those smiles.
















The boys love to play outside together.













Nathan loves this pair of carpenter jeans because

he can put his tools in them and carry them around.

He went like this grocery shopping one time.





















































Jared loves to play on Nathan's motorcycle.

It has some fun music. He is soooo close to walking, but he has been close to walking for a couple of months now. He took two steps the other day, but I think with Nathan running around he sometimes doesn't feel safe to let go and walk. He has been standing up a lot on his own lately, and I think it is a matter of when he wants to do it.





Nathan loves to use my lip gloss. He will
even rub his lips together and smack them.

















Grandaddy and Jared



















Nathan and Daddy being silly.

















Nathan shooting some hoops.














The basketball stand that Matt built with Nathan
and that Nathan and I painted.

















Ahhh!! Jared giving Matt and kiss.
He likes to kiss our chins, but watch
out because he has 7 teeth.

I don't have time to write much with my munchkins, but this was our trip to Cedaredge and Pagosa, CO. We had a great time see family and spending time together. We played volleyball, tennis, went to a parade, watched movies, had a family reunion, played games, talked, and much more. Nathan got to sit on a digger and ride a tractor. The boys were able to see lots of animals. Nathan's favorite was the cat. Jared really liked the dogs and started crying when I took him away from some big dogs. It wasn't enough to see them through the gate; he wanted to go inside and pet them. We saw chickens, goats, bunnies, sheep, mice, cats, dogs, and more. We wanted to go to the drive-in, but they weren't showing kid-friendly movies. We enjoyed the perfect weather and getting together often with family.


The boys also had fun running through the sprinkler here in TX. Jared liked to play in it, but Nathan just wanted to hold it and spray everything and everyone. Jared likes to do whatever Nathan is doing. He loves to play with Nathan's drill on his workbench--anything where he can pull himself up.

Happy Father's Day. We made ties for Matt's dad, my dad, and Matt.
















Jared tries to eat everything that we eat. He is trying his first milkshake or should I say eating the cup.









Give me that ball!!!






















Nana brought some green bubbles to

Nathan. He likes to use it as paint. My

Jolly Green Giant.































































This is Nathan's first time running through

a sprinkler. He prefers to just run after

everyone else and try to spray them. He is

our big tease.
















































I had several videos that I wanted posted, but I cannot get them to work.
