More Videos!

Here are some funny videos of our sweet, not-so-baby, almost 16 month old!

Almost Walking!

Our not-so-baby boy is ALMOST walking!

He will be 16 months on the 9th of July, so I'm thinking it's about time!
{Although I am sure I will want to take that back when he actually his!!}

He usually only walks when being bribed {food or toy} OR when he thinks no one is looking. Stinker!

My Birthday Present!

For my birthday this year my parents gave me Photoshop Elements 9. I am just now getting around to using/learning the software...and I think I've found a new love! I've been playing around a little tonight and here are a few of the changes I've made!

Thanks mom and dad for a fabulous present!

We are going to Disneyland soon and I'm thinking this is going to be great to have for the few {Who am I kidding? Thousands!!} pictures I am sure to take!

A Busy Day!

Our last day at my parent's house we jammed pack the day with fun!

We started off at the museum and did a little art...

3D movie watching,

and water play!

Then we went to lunch and back to my parent's house.

Grayson stayed with my mom and I took the big kids to the zoo. We absolutely love this zoo and couldn't be in town and NOT go. So we braved the heat and sweated our way through all of the exhibits. I had a great time with Kennan and Brayden and they had fun too!

Father's Day!

I am thankful for my daddy, the man who raised me to be the person I am today.

I am also thankful for my husband, my baby daddy, the man I am raising our children with.

This year we spent father's day away from him. I was super sad about it, but thankful that he let me and the kids go spend sometime with our parents. The kids Skyped with Kenny after church and even did a little dance for him {thanks to Mr. Popper's Penguins}.

I hated to be away from Kenny on Father's Day but I was thankful to spend it with my daddy!

{This might be my new fave pic}

The kids with their Pops!

Pool Party!

My parents have an above ground pool and the kids loved every single swim they had in it!

They had daily pool parties and if a day was missed, it meant two parties the next day!!

Cousin Carrie even came over for a few pool parties!

Legoland!

The kids and I spent this last week visiting friends and family back home. Kenny had to stay and work {someone's gotta do it!}. We had a blast and spent our first day there at Legoland. Kenny's parents met us there and we had a great time!

Last T-Ball Game!

Kennan had his last t-ball game a few weeks ago. It was a warm night and Grammy was there to enjoy it with us. Next year he moves up to coach pitch baseball! Can't wait!!

New Video Camera!

We took the plunge the other day and bought a new video camera. Our old one recorded onto tapes which means you have to own a VHS player to watch them. I'm pretty sure we haven't owned one of those in years!! We got a Kodak Play-Touch and so far we love it! {It did take a little while to get the software figured out, but once we did it's been smooth sailing!}

Grayson splashing!

Brayden sliding!

Kennan's last t-ball game!
