Garage Sale at Grandma's House

Since the passing of my grandma, the family (mostly my parents and my Uncle Bob and Aunt Jo) have been fixing up her house and cleaning it out. We decided to have a garage sale to sell some of her things. She had a collection of everything. You name it, she collected it. That's probably why I have a tendency to be a pack rat. I save everything, too. Everyone in the family was invited to come up and help. Who ever could come, came! We had a fun time. My dad entertained us all by dressing up in various items and making up stupid skits. Love you dad!

Zermatt

Clint and I went up to Zermatt to celebrate our 10 year anniversary! WOW 10 years! Love you babe! Blakey got to tag along with us :)

It was such a fun place that we decided to take the kids up the next weekend with Cody, Wendy and Bentley!

Carter and Troy wanted to go on the Carousel. Tanner chose to watch with the Grown-ups (Way too cool for something like that)

After dinner, we went swimming:)

Every time Bentley got close to Carter he would reach for him and then when he got close enough he would kiss him. KISS KISS :) Carter loved all of your kisses Bentley!

Daddy's day!

On Father's Day, Troy wanted to help me make breakfast for Clint. He was in charge of laying the bacon on the pan.
Thanks Little Helper Dude!

Something must have spilled in the oven from a previous dinner because when I opened the oven door to check on the bacon it was smoking so Clint was woken up by the fire alarm!! Sorry Hun, we struggle sometimes:)

After breakfast, the boys were excited to give Clint the presents they picked out for him. We surprised him with three new outfits and some new kicks.

Happy Father's Day!


My grandpa came out to my parents' house for dinner that night. Chicken Kabobs and Veggies. Yum! We thought it would be fun to take the fathers pictures.

Blakey's Pictures!

Better Late then Never!

That seems to be the quote of the day everyday around here.

I got Blakley's pictures taken when she was 3 weeks old and just barely posting them now. I had my friend Tawnee at mccayphotography.com
take her pictures and I think they turned out pretty stinkin' cute! Thanks Tawnee!

Four Hours and Two Photo Shoots later
Blakley wanted nothing to do with her getting her pictures taken during the first shoot. Tawnee was so patient.

Way to go guys!!

Today, Clint and my sister-in-law Wendy ran a 10k together. Cody, Bentley and I showed up at the finish line to cheer them on. It was too early in the morning for my tired kiddos to be there.

Clint's time 51:19
This was his first 10k

Wendy's time 54:27
She shaved almost 6 mins. off of her last 10k time

They both won 2nd place in their age group!
WAY TO GO GUYS!

Second Grade Graduate

The last week of 2nd grade for Tanner was a fun one. He was the student of the week. We made a poster filled with pictures of him and I got to go into the class and tell them some things that make Tanner special to his family. It was also his turn with the Show and Tell bag. He asked if he could bring Blakley. He was so excited when I said "Sure."


On the last day of school, Tanner received his record card. He got all A's and H's in citizenship. Hooray! To celebrate, we decided to take the kiddos to the Mayan for dinner. They loved watching the cliff divers perform.

Grandma Sue, Papa Tom, Grandma Terra, and Kim and her 3 girls
all joined in on the fun! Thanks guys!

We finished off the night with Papa Tom's famous homemade Rootbeer. YUMMY!

Can I take your picture please?

Troy loves his sister so much. He is always begging me to let him hold her or lay down by her. He is always the first one to go to her if she is fussing and talk to her in his cute little voice "Hi Sweetie Hi" or "Hi Sweetheart." He is so good with her.

Today while I was trying to get ready, he was watching her for me (don't worry I never left the room). The next thing I know he had my camera out and was doing a photo shoot with her. So Cute!

Here is some of his work:

One Word: SQUEEZABLE!

I had to get one with the photographer and his masterpiece. I am glad that he is such a big helper.

Air Show

Clint, his friend Scoob and my dad decided to take to boys up to Hill Air Force Base for the air show on Saturday. Even though there were thousands of people there, they still had a great time! What a fun time for the boys!

The boys haven't stopped talking about the jets since then.
