Labor Day Weekend

We had an awesome weekend up at Burro Mt with Dave and Jess, Matt and Courtney, and Morgan and Lauren. Trev made a zipline that the kids LOVED... and had more quad rides then we could count!

Spring Break 2012

For Spring Break this year we loaded up the little trailer with a bunch of

stuff and took the boys to San Elijo State Beach in Southern California.

We went with Grandma and Grandpa, and Beau and his family.

The day we got there is was cold and about to rain. Just after we got camp set up

it started raining pretty good. We didn't care, we were at the BEACH!!!!

One day we loaded up the boys and cousin Liam and went into San Diego

to the USS Midway Museum. It is a retired aircraft carrier that has been

made into a museum. We walked around that boat in amazement.

It is awesome to me to think of all the men that had served on that ship.

This is the boys on the deck, with the "Island" in the back ground. The

Island is where the Wheel House and Aircraft Controls are located.

This picture is Porter, Tate, Liam and Brooks in the brigg.

We should have locked them up there a bit longer and enjoyed the tour.

When you enter the ship, you are given a set of headphones and a transmitter.

At each part of the ship you can listen to what went on there and

some cool stories of men that served there.

This was taken at the back end of our camp site. Just feet beyond the fence

is about a 20 foot cliff that drops right to the beach. Evenings were awesome
sitting at the fence watching the sun go down and listening to the waves
If I think for a second, I can still hear them.

This picture was taken from the fence above.

                                                   I don't think it gets much better than this!!!!!!

StoryTime... with Emery and Bridger Beau

"I wonder what story she will tell tonight"

"Oh! I like this one"

"I think this is the one with the dragon"

"I hope it's not too scary"

"It is! It's the one with the dragon!"

"and then what happened?"

"Stop! Pause for dramatic affect"

"this better have a good ending, toots!"

"What a story! I'm pooped..."

Good night kisses and off to bed!

One Year Ago Today....

Our family was blessed with this kind soul.
One year ago our family was complete with the arrival of this little boy.
Our fourth and final.
Bridger Beau is our joy baby. He is such a delight.
I must admit, I have a hard time writing about the last year. I don't want to share him.
He is special to me.
My Last.
I have felt like I need to cherish every little moment.
Treasure it.
I love being a mommy.
I love being Bridger's mommy.
Happy Birthday Bridger Beau!!!
You are so loved!
