Grandpa Playing Golf with Connor & Wesley

While the girls went wedding dress shopping Glenn, Wesley & Connor headed to the golf course.

A day with Keaton and Heidi

Last weekend Heidi and Keaton were in town and we were able to go to lunch and then spend the afternoon together. After lunch we decided to head over to Bellevue Square and check out the brand new Children's play area. There was so much to climb on, Keaton had a blast. There are several large boats and a sand castle and all sorts of other things coing out of the "water." The ground is super bouncy so that even if kids fall from the top, they dont' get hurt.

After playing a around for a while, we headed over to Build a Bear. Keaton chose a puppy and named him Lukie. After she chose we took him over to begin bringing him to life.


Keaton lending a foot to help put some more stuffing into Lukie.

Time to get the heart ready to go inside. Keaton rubbed the heart on her forehead to make Lukie smart.

She gave the heart a kiss so Lukie would always know how much she loved him.

Keaton giving Lukie the squeeze test to make sure he just right.

Time for a bath. This was Keaton's favorite part.

We had a great time. I was so glad that I was able to spend some time with Keaton and Heidi. Thanks for coming to visit!

Wes Visits Seattle

To end Wesley's summer vacation, he came to visit Rob and I in Seattle. We tried to keep him busy by doing a few of the traditional Seattle tourists spots and he even got to help out with the big proposal plan that Rob had. Here are a few pics from our adventures.

Visit to the Troll under the bridge!

Before eating dinner on Alki Beach, we stopped to enjoy the view of the Seattle Skyline.

Right by Rob's house there is a luxury car store. We took Wesley to show him around.

When we were packing the car to head up to Whistler for the weekend, Wes claimed his spot in the car before anyone else did....

On one of the warmer days, we took a trip to Golden Gardens Park to enjoy the beach.

And we took a trip to Snoqualmie Falls (although I couldn't convince him to hike down with me).

Over all we had a great time. Come and visit us soon so we can show you the sights!

Wes at Whistler

We took Wesley with us to Whistler, BC, Canada to do a little Mountain Biking.

This is the Rock Statue that is the symbol for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Airman McCoy

Chaz is officially an United States Airman and I couldn't be prouder of him.

We were very lucky to be able to spend the last 3 days with him and be a part of this outstanding accomplishment. We are so glad that Kasey & her family, mom, dad, Misty & Mike were able to see him and be a part of this step in his life.

I have taken many many pictures and will post some of the events and the fun we had soon!!

We Love you Chaz!!!

Hangin with Jayden

This week, instead of going to daycare, Jayden is hanging out with me while Jackie goes to work. We've been busy. We're trying to take it all in before we head to Idaho next week. Here's a little of what we've done so far.

We went to the park close to my house to check out the toys there.

We went to Microsoft and had lunch with Rob.

We went to the Woodland Park zoo. The Hippos were our favorite part. There were three and they were chasing each other all around. We stayed and watched them for about 20 min.





Jayden loved petting the goats in the petting zoo.



We climbed trees.

We drove tractors.

We went to the aquarium.

And shook hands with an octopus!

Saw all different types of fish.

So far we've been having a great time.

The 4th of July in Texas!!!

We all love the 4th of July, but it's extra fun when we get to go to the Tomato Festival in Avery! =) Colton was not so patiently awaiting the lawn mower races...
Yep that's right - I said lawn mower races - where else can you find such an exciting event! They actually hit speeds of 45 - 50 mph! Colton was in heaven and has already made plans for papaw to fix up an old lawn mower so he can race next year (don't think his mom knows about this plan just yet) Although the temps were in the upper 90's we all had a great time!

We were lucky to share Misty's first Tomato Festival/lawn mower race experience with her!

Then it was time for some fun on the rides!

It couldn't get dark soon enough - we were all ready to set off fireworks! Yippee!!

Kylie picked out some lady bugs and was so excited to watch them go!

What is the 4th without sparklers!
We even got papaw to have some sparkler fun! (he gets so excited sometimes - hehe)In the end we had a great 4th of July - and loved speding it together!
Oh yeah - this was Misty's first official year to actually set off fireworks - she did a great job!!! Yay Misty!!
