More Fun Pics From Oklahoma

Then Travis wanted to go on a canoe ride so they all went again!! The boys loved it. Okay, this was really funny. The paddle boat didn't go very far. You had to be there to know what I mean. You can't see Carter because he is behind Nicholas. Corgan was being such a good boy. Cute little guy.
Eric kept putting sand/rocks in his mouth. He didn't like it when I took them out of his mouth. Thanks to Gramma Hayes for bring the buckets and shovels for the grandkids to play with.
Cute! I bet these boys would enjoy going to the beach.
Nick couldn't wait to get wet in the water. He wanted to test out his life jacket.
The kid next door came over to show us his pet snake. Kelly was brave enough to wrap that snake around her neck. You go girl!! I'll just stay far, far away from you. My boys were also brave to pet the snake. Why not, Gramma did.
On our last night Aaron and the boys made some smores for the family. Aaron is such a good Dad. He loves spending time with the boys. And I love watching it.

Turner Falls

Is a fun place to go. The view is pretty. The weather was beautiful. We had a fun time as a family. Aaron and I want to take the boys to the Grand Canyon someday.
Nick and Carter trying to figure out how to use the telescope.
The water was nice and cold.
Exploring was exciting.

Turner Falls Is A Fun Place To Go

We had so much fun at Turner Falls. We like to go back and camp there for a night. Sweet little Eric sitting in the water.
Nicholas had fun swimming in the COLD water.
Family picture. We had a great time at the lodge and especially hanging out with the family. We did miss Jason and Gaylen.

Father & Son Campout

Was on May the 11th. Our church does this every year and this was the first time that Aaron took the boys. They had a blast!!! The campsite had electricity, bathrooms and showers. Now that sounds like a place where I would go camping. The boys enjoyed playing with their friends. Here is one of the guys cooking breakfast.
This is the first time for the boys to go camping and they loved sleeping in the tent. Sweet dreams little boys!
Here's their tent. Isn't this place nice?
Eric likes to chew and put things in his mouth. He has two teeth and is working on a third.
He loves to play with his ABC's magnets and farm animals on the fridge.
Hey Carter are you hungry? I'm hungry. What sounds good to eat? Hmmmm.....
Oh, I think I found something yummy!!

Mother's Day Luncheon

Today Carter's preschool class prepared a program, served lunch and made cute crafts for their Mom's. They sang a couple of songs.All the Mother's enjoyed being pampered. We had mini pizza's and fruit kabob for lunch.
Carter was so sweet to serve me a yummy dessert.
The class told a story about Mother's.
This is my gift from Carter. Isn't it cute? They also made a frame picture with their footprints on it along with a cute poem. Carter kept giving me lots of hugs during the luncheon. He did a great job! I love him so much.

Nerf Tag

Aaron and I had fun playing Nerf Tag with the boys. They're getting ready to attack. Yikes!! The boys ran for cover when they saw their father coming after them.
Mommie are you hiding from my big brothers? Can I play too?
I found it. Now what do I do with it?

Pictures from Chili's

After the baptism we all went to Chili's for lunch. Here are some pictures that my Dad took with his camera. Family
Cute picture. It's usually my Mom who has her eyes close when we take a picture of her.
Nicholas was glad that his cousins were able to come celebrate his special day.

Aaron you did a great job baptizing our son. I love your smile.

more pictures from Chili's

My Dad sure did take a lot of pictures. I'm glad he did because I didn't take much.

My Handsome Boys!

Last Friday we had the boys pictures taken and we were very pleased with the results. They took about 101 photos. Here are some pictures that we did not purchase. They were all so good. We plan on sending out some pics of the boys to our families soon. Hope you enjoy these.





Nicholas' Baptism

Okay, it has been a couple of weeks since the last post. Time certainly flies! Saturday was a special occasion for us as Nicholas was baptized. It was really neat seeing Nicholas and Aaron in their white clothes preparing for the ceremony. I think Aaron was more nervous than Nicholas.
Here is a picture of my boys after the baptism. Aaron's smile has changed from the tight lipped grin to more of a smirk. Nicholas is hoping that he will be as tall as his Daddy.
Here is a picture of almost the entire gang. Missing are Rob (Chrissy's husband) and PJ (my sister) and her daughter Alex. She had left to pick up her two boys, Thomas and Phillip so they could join us at the restaurant.
After the ceremony we all went to Chili's for lunch. It was very nice to have both families come together to celebrate Nicholas' Special Day. Aaron and I are very lucky to have family that live close and love and support us.
