America, America...

A quick look at Memorial Day...

Baseball, BBQ, and Family...sounds like a good day to me!

Pool Time

Jack is my "go-get-em" kids and Tanner is usually more reserved, but we had a reversal of role at the pool last week...
Jack just stood back, wouldn't go near the water, and wouldn't let go of the float!

Tanner jumped right in.
Tanner's friend Rustin
Jack did eventually warm-up to swimming.

Ryler, Jackson, Rustin, Tanner

Jack

Tanner

Why do I make bread?

It has nothing to do with...

The smell that engulfs out home

That fresh from the oven taste

The love that is baked into every morsel

It is all about the dough for these boys...they would rather eat the dough than my bread?!

CRAZY

Boys wil be...girls?!

Tanner definitely needs some boy cousins to play with!

Uncle James

My brother James was here for a visit, and we were way excited!

I unfortunately forgot to take many pictures, but here are a couple...

This is to remind of the lovely text alert sound that played every 5 minutes, or less, all day long!

Sure do love those boys!
Highlights we don't want to forget...

• O'Charlies Caramel Pie
• Mom looking at James and walking right past when he first surprised her
• Kenny and James almost drowned Tanner at the Father and Son's Outing
• Jackson's "head-trama" at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (he was stuck upside-down in those folding theater chairs, and it took Kenny many minutes to get him out!)
• James changing wheel-lines (how many people can tell me what those are?)
• Eating Lunch with Mom at Stockman's, Jackson's big mess
• The Stansfields are the Sorry Kings (pun intended..ha)
• Tanner asking me every morning where James is since he left

We love you James. come back soon!

Remember When...

My niece, Autumn, has been staying with us.

She got off the school bus today and said,

"I have a new game and I love it. Let me teach you how to do it."

Of Course, I pretended as though I had never seen it before and let her teach me a great new game. After three games I have learned that I will fall into a mud puddle, I will be bitten by my dog, and I will be rich when I grow-up!

(Tanner was extremely distraught and almost in tears when he heard that he would be bitten by his dog.)

The boy we affectionately refer to as JACK-JACK!

All Daddy's boy, always looking for some new touble, and always loving a mess!
