July Celebrations

We love spending the holidays together as a family and with such great friends. We had a really good BBQ and then sat by the fire watching the fireworks as the kids ran around and played.

Jay's 4th Birthday (another year older)

It's so amazing how time flies by so fast...Jay is 4 and it just seems as if it was only a couple of months ago that he was born. We of course did our usual birthday party for him at the house with a waterslide with friends and family. Thank you everyone for coming and all the gifts.

Justin came to visit

It is always nice when Justin comes into town to visit. I always look forward to spending time with my brother. Justin is currently in the navy and comes to visit any chance he can get. This last visit was to surprise our sister Mandy at her wedding. We all got together at my house for dinner and to visit while he was in town. We miss you and love you very much Justin. We can't wait to see you again.

A day at the Zoo

We have been very lucky to have the twins Shaunee and Shaylee in our lives. We spent one of our first times hanging out with them at the zoo. Jay was so excited to finally meet his sisters. Jay loves hanging out with them both... Shaylee, Jay, Shaunee

Jay's 2010 Preschool Graduation

Jay graduated from his first year in preschool. He was so excited for his graduation program. It was also really exciting for us to see all that he has learned at preschool with Miss Margenes. Jay has learned so many new different exciting things going to preschool. He really loves all of his teachers. Jay loves going to school with his best friend Payton too. We can't wait for another fun exciting year of preschool.

Working on the jeep

Jay loves watching Jason work on our jeep... So one day when we were hanging outside Jay was driving his jeep around the front yard and then he stops. He says "mom... do you hear that sound?" I ask " what sound?" "It's making a funny noise mom... do you hear it?" Jay says. So he pulls it into the garage gets some a Jason's tools, slides under his jeep and start to work on it. Jay was really getting into fixing his jeep just like dad. When he was all done he took it back out for a test drive just to make sure it was fixed.

Nice spring day at the park

Anytime the weather is nice out we try to go outside and do something... Jay really loves going to the park. We try to take him any chance we get when the weather is nice. Jay loves to climb up the slides and swing on the swings. Jay would love to go to the park everyday if he could.

Easter 2010

The friday night before Easter Jay, Kassidee, Maddi, and I colored eggs. Jay and the girls had a really good time dying all the eggs mixed colors and drawing on them. Easter morning we woke up to find that the Easter bunny had left a couple of baskets and hid eggs all over the house. Jay had a blast running all over finding the eggs in many different spots of the house. Later that day we all went over to Grandpa Mel's and Grandma Jean's house for dinner and Easter egg hunt. I think that there was over 300 eggs that we had in the yard that the kids had to find. All the kids baskets were full so hopefully they found them all.
