Gummy Lizards

Auntie Berta took the boys to Goodies while we visited in Sunriver. One of the prizes they got was gummy lizards...which they loved!





Child Labor or Learning New Skills...You Decide!

Jackson has always been fascinated by lawnmowers.This summer he was particularly interested. Daddy decided to show him how the whole thing works...perhaps this will be his job sooner than we think?!

Here is how to start...



A professional in the making!

Foot Traffic Track Meet

This summer Grammy Claudia discovered a series of open track meets. We decided to try them out and the boys loved it. Braden is still a bit young, but he ran one race each meet. Jackson was quite the little track star. Here he is running his race, shot putting, throwing javelin, and long jumping.

Happy Birthday Mommy

I got to spend my birthday at Bonneville Hot Springs with my mom this year. It was heavenly. Then we came home and my sweet boys spoiled me! It was a perfect birthday!




Happy Father's Day Daddy!



Turning Two at the Zoo!

On June 26th Braden turned two. I cannot believe how fast our sweet little baby has grown into a big boy! We spent the day at the zoo and then had presents and cupcakes at home. It was a wonderful day!

The cheetahs were very friendly.


Great Grammy Dot pushed Braden as much as she rode in her wheelchair, he loves it!
