Banks Turns 3

Hard for me to believe but our baby has turned 3 today. He had birthday pancakes this morning, he loved all the attention his siblings were giving him. All the kids were really sweet with him this morning and excited that today was his special day. The only request he had ws he wanted to go to Puerta Vallarta for dinner tonight and get a balloon. So we thought we could handle that request. He has been a terrible 2 year old and we are hoping that the 3 year old year will be better. He growls a lot and we really don't understand what the growling is for. We love this little guy but he challenges us all. Happy Birthday to you Banki Doodle we love you!!!

A Fun day at the lake

Ryan's Birthday Morning

I cannot believe my baby girl is 8 today. Hard to believe how fast time flies. She is our little golden child. She is such a wonderful girl. SHe is always by my side asking what is she can help with. Ryan is caring, loving, kind, generous, and loves her family. She helps allthe time with Banks. Sometimes i think Banks forgets who his mom is. Me or Ryan. She just is a little mother. We are so blessed to have her in our family and are excited that she will be baptized at the end of the monthe we could not be happier to have her in our family. We love her so much.

Mason Lake

We have been playing at the lake a lot lately because of our beautiful weather. We love 100 degrees aroung here. We were loving the 108 the other day. My kids were so excited that it got so hot in Washington. This is our life right now. We love the lake and could seriously move there. Thinking about summer ending makes me sad because we have had so much fun together making memories.
