My Sweet Husband

Happy Father's Day, James! You are the best daddy Sydney, William and Matthew could have. You are always there for them and they love you so much. You are are the most unselfish, sweet, caring, forgiving, hard working, giving, God fearing man I know.  They are so blessed to have you as their daddy. We love you with all of our hearts.  

You are the BEST daddy!

Toy Story 3

James and I took the boys to see Toy Story 3.  This was their first 3D experience! Will loved it but Matt wouldn't leave his glasses on.  They both seemed to really like the movie.  James and I thought it was very good.  I just love taking our kiddos to do special things that they normally do not get to do.  It was so much fun!

Feeling Better

The boys have been under the weather for the whole week and FINALLY they are all better.  So, I thought today would be the perfect day to have lunch and a little play time with a friend.  Mary Beth and Chase came out to spend time with us today and the boys had a blast.  I had totally forgotten that we had a baby pool so I pulled that puppy out filled it with water and had a lot of fun with it.  I of course brought out ole trusty sprinkler too! Guess who decided to warm up to the sprinkler today....MATTHEW! I am so proud of him and he just ran and laughed.  I knew he would love it if he just gave it a try.  So, we were all exhausted at the days end and we can't wait for another play day!

Green Belt

Sydney is now officially a Green Belt.  She has worked so hard and we are so proud of her.  She did an outstanding job at her graduation.  If you notice the different colored stripes on her new belt, Sydney will have to perform all the kata's learned thus far in order to receive her Brown belt......It will be a tough couple of months ahead but we know she will do a great job! 

Here she is about to begin graduation ceremonies

ROCKY

Rocky is a 2 1/2 year old beautiful Chocolate Labrador Retriever.  He was born in Colorado on Halloween in 2007.  He is a gentle giant.  He behaves so well and is a delight to be around.  I can already tell he loves the kids and he will have so much fun with them throughout the years. He had a fantastic first night.  He slept very well in his crate and was so excited to see all of us this morning. I think he will adjust quite well to his new home.  We are blessed to have him here as part of our family.  We look forward to the many fun adventures with him.

The boys just adore him already
