Patrick just got back from a fun filled week at Scout camp.  I had NO IDEA I would miss him so much!!!  I am so glad he is back safe and sound!!  Love ya most!!!

Happy birthday Braxton!!!

We hope you have a super duper day!!!  Love ya!!!  

Baby A & Baby B have arrived!!!!!

The pictures look a little scary but they are holding their own!!!  Nate says they have minimal assistance today.  They tipped the scales at 4 lbs & 3 lbs 10 oz!!  That is Nate's wedding ring by the little guy's hand!  Hopefully - they will have real names soon - ones that rock!!  :D  Jill was amazing and Nate is bubbling over!!!  The babies are BEAUTIFUL!!!!

We love you guys!!!

Happy Fourth of July!!!!
As Gaylen can tell you - I am a total sucker for the Fourth of July. Other than the Christmas season, it is my absolute favorite holiday. I think that comes from many many things. I remember seeing my Grandpa's eyes fill with tears when the flag started the parade. I remember watching the parade from Grandma's porch and going to the cheesy carnival with my cousins, hamburgers cooked by the Lions. They are all happy memories. I still get choked up when I see the flag at the beginning of a parade or when I hear a patriotic song. I believe we live in a choice land, a land designed by our Maker. I am so proud to be an American. May God bless it and those fighting to keep it free.

Whatever it takes....

Brenna is pretty picky - she doesn't like to eat many things.  I figured a way to get her to eat pasta (Ok, so the credit actually goes to Gramma!  THANKS MOM!!!)  Two words - SLURPING CONTEST.  Funny thing is...she wins most every time.  Even Wyatt & Dad got in on the fun!!  Patrick thought he was too cool but I did catch him grinning once or twice!!  (You thought I missed that, didn't you, son?)  We had a pretty fun time and Brenna ate two serving of "clean noodles" (spaghetti with no sauce!:)  WOW!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMMA!!!!

Ok so it was actually yesterday but we didn't get our post added!!!  We were too excited to get to your party (Thanks Steph for the fun!).  Mom turned 29 again!!  We hope you had a super day!!  We love you more!!!

What a zoo!!!

We hit the zoo for the first time this summer!!  It was pretty hot but we had a great time!!  We went with Emilee and her boys and Ashlee and her boys!!  It was a fun day!!  I am so glad Emilee suggested it!!!
