Good Morning!

Just a fun snapshot of the kids. They're getting big so fast!

Poor Taylor is sick and has a horrible cough. Hopefully he can get over it quickly. He's sure being a good sport about being sick though!

Sweet T and the end...

Today was bittersweet for my little T man. It was the last day of camp.

I know it might seem mean to take a picture of a crying child, but I think it's sweet to capture such a tender moment.

Taylor had a great time going to Kid's Kamp this Summer. For the first time he had best friends, two of them Tyler and Antonio. The leaders were amazing with the kids. They got to have fun field trips every Thursday. His favorite was Lazer Tag at Sun Splash, until yesterday... then his favorite became monster mini golf!

They had swim days on Monday and Friday and he's finally not scared to swim without floaties! That's a huge deal for him! He even dove into the deep end of my parent's pool and swam all the way to the shallow end all by himself!

He has a whole new sense of self esteem!

It's been so fun to watch my little boy grow socially and emotionally over the Summer! It has been such a blessing for him to be able to learn and grow and make lots of new friends! He's not my shy little guy anymore. He's a joiner and loves to be included in everything.

I love him so much!

T's Mohawk

Such a funny boy, I don't know which he likes more - his mohawk or the putty that makes it stick up!

My Sweet Peas

I love that my kids love each other. Sometimes the fight like crazy, but when it comes down to it, they are definitely two peas in a pod. And nobody mess with one of them, or else you're gonna get it from the other one!

Cuddling and munching, two of Lylee's favorite things to do!

Smiley Lylee

Lylee has had a fun Summer. We finally got her to like some shoes! She got shoes that match her cousins, Emma and Sara and they even got matching Hello Kitty socks! Now the girl who has wanted to go barefoot all Summer doesn't ever want to take her shoes and socks off!

Pirate Day at Camp

Every Wednesday at Kids Kamp is the day they dress up for the theme of the week. This week was pirate week. We've also had hawaiian week, super hero week, Christmas in July week, and Halloween week. It's been fun coming up with outfits every week.

I wish I had gotten a picture of Super Hero week. Taylor made his own super hero and used a foam tube for the pool as his sword and a kick board for his shield. It was very creative.

Fourth of July... finally!

Kingergarten Song

This was Taylor's favorite song for graduation. He's been practicing it all week long!

The Little Girl Who Wasn't Tired...

I think that says it all.

Sunday Best

My little sillies

They love to play off each other!

And they also love each other.

Swim Babies

Yay!!!

It's finally warm enough to swim most days!

Summer, ready or not, HERE WE COME!!!!!

Just Playin"

Taylor and Grandpa Bob playing baseball

So thankful for the beautiful weather that we can play outside all the time.

Mama's Kids

The kids and the flowers that they each picked out for me.

I love that they each chose something fitting their personality!

Super T

Geez!

Where does this kid get all his energy?

School, play, play more, 2 swims and he's still rarin' to go!

Don't I wish???

My Loves

My silly little loves!

They're the best of buds!

Dress Up

We're having a better day at our house. Lylee came in and told me that this is what she's going to wear when she gets married in the temple. Hope her hubby has a sense of humor!

This is apparently the princess outfit.

She's also been tinkerbell and has been trying real hard to get me to put on her new monkey swimsuit!

Playing at Grandma Annie's

The boys and Lexi played full contact football.

Love the huddles. There's some serious strategizing going on here.

They played baseball too. Like the action shot?

Elise and Lylee headed out to their "sand castle" that they made out of rocks and sticks.

It's been so nice having the kids play from dusk til dawn. They pass out as soon as we put them down. We love cousins!

Grandpa Jay Graff's Funeral

Uncle Jared and Chris

(Grandpa Jay liked Christopher so much that he decided he needed one more baby, so we have Uncle Jared!)

Taylor, Grandma Annie, Chris and Lylee

Taylor looking down the whole that they put the coffin into. He's very concerned about Grandpa Jay being down there.

Apparently, Grandpa Jay was concerned too. He's in the middle of the field all by himself because he didn't want to be near any trees and those stinkin' squirrels! (Yes, this is completely true! He was a character!)

Chris and Grandma Annie

Saying Goodbye

Lylee and Aunt Ashley

Grandma Cathy wanted to play some of her dad's favorite hymns and she loved being surrounded by her grandkids.

It was a beautiful day, a beautiful service and a wonderful send off to a man that was loved and respected by so many people.
