Carolina Beach

This summer went by so quick...we blinked and it was over. Amongst all the craziness we were able to sneak in an overnight trip to the beach while Grandma and Grandpa were in town. We love the beach!!!

Bailee gets Baptized

On July 17, 2010 Bailee was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She had a beautiful baptism and we were blessed to have some of our family members here with us on her special day. Bailee was baptized by her dad and confirmed by her Grandpa Mike. We are proud of Bailee for choosing to be baptized and we are so grateful for the wonderful example she is to all those around her. Bailee, we are so blessed to have you in our family. Mom and Dad love you very much!

Our 4th of July

For our Independence Day celebration we did our traditional BBQ and fireworks at home. Rick, Cami and Skyler came and celebrated with us.

A little game of beanbag toss.

Uncle Rick showing us his juggling skill.

His poor little ears are sensitive to loud noises...these came in handy!

Skyler putting on the firework show.

And a good show it was!

Hooray...Daddy is home!!!

We started our summer off with the return of daddy! What a great way to start the summer. Alan got home 3 days before Father's Day. He got home during the night so when the kids woke up in the morning their dad was home! Brikelle was the first awake and the first to see him. She literally screamed (a happy scream), jumped in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck and wouldn't let go. It was priceless. Due to the stomach bug that kept finding Braden and Bailee, we had a very low key Father's Day at home. But Alan just being back home and with his kids made for a very good Father's Day for him. We did manage to get some archery in for a fun little activity.
