Family Reunion

We spent this past weekend at a family reunion. It turned out much better than I was even hoping. Jackson can have trouble sleeping away from home, so I was worried, but he did great.

Carlyn, Grandma, and Tessa

Daddy and Jack
Kim pulled Autumn's tooth with a pair of pliers! What a brave girl.Autumn is excited for the tooth fairy- I wonder what the tooth fairy is paying these days?!?

Autumn's Visit

I have loved having our neice Autumn over. She is great to help out with Jackson and little things around the house. Unfortunatley, she and Tanner are not getting along as well as I was hoping for. They spend much more time arguing then anything else. I have decided to just try and keep them apart, then to try and make them get along. I guess that is just kids.
These are just some fun pictures while we were getting ready to go to a wedding.

Happy 4th of July!

Though it isn't my favorite, the 4th of July is way up there on my list of favorite holidays!

This is my cute niece, Autumn, who is going to stay with us for a couple weeks.

We got out the kiddie pools and some slippery slides.

Kim and her amazing appetizers! :)
Trying to dry off and warm up from the cold water!

Jack was still napping, so he missed the family shot!

Sun and sidewalk chalk, sounds like fun to me!

It is hard to believe Kim could find some down time.

Go Kenny!

Go Tanner!

Go Tash!

Go Riley!

Go Jackson!

Go Hailey!

Go Autumn!

Here comes Tanner again!

Go Carley!- she wasn't a huge fan of the cold water.

Hailey and Autumn spent a long time trying to tame the Riley monster at the bottom of the hill!

Autumn and Hailey have become pretty good freinds (Autumn is only about 7 months older).

Cute Tanner, and you can see the girls fighting Riley in the background!

Covered in war paint- chalk.

Silly Girls!

Sweet little ones!

What is the 4th without a firworks show?

...and sparklers, of course!

Our show was courtesy of Kenny and Ryan (the pyros)!

We are grateful for the freedoms of our country and the blessing of family and friends!

Hope everyone else had a great time too!

Korean Cuisine

Kenny's college buddy, Adam, came over with h is family. He had made us Indian food (from India, not the Native Americans :), so Kenny wanted to treat them to Korean food. When Tanner saw his Dad using chop sticks, he wanted to try. It was so cute, I had to take some pictures.

Hailey actually did pretty well.

Don't you love the tongue out?!

Brothers

This is cute!

This is just hilarious!

A sneek peek at Autumn's dress!- for you Mom
