My little Man!

So, I was on call for the 4th. Suprisingly enough, I didn't get called in. We had a relaxing 4th of July. We went swimming at Lindsey and Trevor's pool and had a bbq and later that night had another bbq with Bern's mom and dad and Ashley. Then we went to see fireworks in Riverton, which, by the way are always the best. It's one of the few parks that still let you sit fairly close to where they set them off and I'm always suprised how long it is and this year was by far the best. Oh, and on the 3rd we went to Riverton's parade with the Wardle fam. That's what these pics are from.

Hope's Recital

This is Hope with her teacher Amber and another little girl from her class.

This is Hope's Dance Class.

Having fun with her dad after the recital.


She's our little star!

Hi everyone! So, Hope took her first dance class this Spring and her recital was June 7th a week before Luke's birthday. She was so cute at her recital. This was the first time she got to wear makeup(for dance only). She loved it. I have to say that they did a pretty good job, although, at one point Hope forgot part of the dance and just started twirling around. It was really cute. We love our little princess!

Luke's 1st birthday

We put a pool out for the kids to play in. Hope, Luke and Jax.

Luke Loves the Water!

Blowing out the birthday candles. He got frosting on his hands and wasn't very happy about it.


So, our cute little Luke turned 1 Sat. June 14th. It's so crazy to think he's getting so big. He now will tentatively stand up and let go for a few seconds and walks behind his push toy. It's so cute to see all his new achievements. He also says hi and waves now and says a few words like mama, dada or daddy, uh=oh, tickle tickle, ba ba, no no, and don't. He's such a good baby we are so blessed to have both of our wonderful kids.

Stingray Hickey

So, I wanted to post a few of our pictures with the stingrays so you could see how big they were. It was probably the funnest thing we did while we were in Cayman. They're really soft. I even ended up with a hickey on my hand. Their mouths are on the bottom and apparently one of them thought I had food.

So, I cannot even tell you how much I loved Grand Cayman. It was the best! This is a picture of me in the crystal clear water right outside our hotel. Bern and I went to Cayman as the locals call it for our ten year anniversary. We stayed at the Westin on Seven Mile Beach. We went cheap on the airfare so that we could splurge on the hotel. We flew red eye and had to make all sorts of crazy connections but it was well worth it. I missed the water the second we left. During our trip we went to the Queen Elizabeth II botanical gardens, Georgetown, and the Turtle Farm ( I love sea turtles) Boatswains beach. We also went with redsail sports to Stingray City ( swam with the sting rays ) and another spot out by one of the reefs to snorkel.The hotel was beautiful, the beaches were immaculate, and the people were friendly. It was heaven!

We were able to see a lot while we were there. This little friend we met when we went to the Queen Elizabeth II botanical gardens. There aren't very many of these blue iguanas left so they breed them there and release them. They are all over the place at the gardens. We also saw crabs, parrots, lizards, birds, and frogs.
