My birthday!

The last birthday of my twenties! Chili's for dinner and cupcakes.
It was a good day!

Yea, we brushed teeth extra long that night!

4th of July Reunion

Fri-Mon of this past weekend we spent time with Brandt's family and extended Jones family up at the cabin in Blackhawk. The kids were in heaven playing all day with cousins and eating cupcakes at every meal.....or so it seemed.
We had a great weekend and are so grateful to live in America and enjoy all of the freedoms and rights we have. America rocks.

Tanner is so in his element when he is outside. This kid loves it. He is getting so big. Just love that boy!!!!!!
Here we are all around Brandt's grandma GG Jones. The Jones' are an amazing family. This is only a portion of the people at the reunion. There were tons!!

Daddy Day

Here is Brandt with the kiddos on Father's Day morning. We had a sweet breakfast and then went to church. Later Brandt's parents came over for steak and stuff. It was a good day.

We all love you babe. You are a fantastic daddy. You are a lot of fun and and work so hard to provide for us. We luvvvvvvv ya!

Don't ask me about Ava's hairstyle, I am not proud of it.

Homemade gift wrap and cards are cool!! Right, or maybe just cheap.

Great Dads!!

I have been so blessed in my life to have my dad. He is smart, driven, fun, sporty,spiritual, supportive and many other things. Most importantly he has been there for me no matter what. He always seems to love me. I sure love him too.

Thanks for being so awesome and for loving my children now too. You are great dad. Happy Father's Day!!

I have also been blessed to have a great father in law. Brandt's dad Lee Jones. He is amazing. Happy Father's Day.

(More to come later about Tanner and Ava's Daddy on Father's Day.....................

Volleyball

I just love this picture of Ava. She is hilar in her glasses and pigtails. We had fun at Brandt's volleyball tournament but didn't stay long due to the ridiculous amount of wind and Tanner was feeling sick, but at least I got some pictures.

Brandt and C-Bass (Sebastian) took second place....................... and they looked good doing it too!!

A few more

Okay so we also got to go to the zoo while we were in Kansas...it was great.

Tanner got to see his first friend, and best friend Carter. These guys were friends before they could even talk!
Carter's little brother Jack was there too, wow has he grown. Ava tried to boss him around a lot.

I got to see Jenny, I just miss this girl. We have fun together. She is pregs again with number 3. I wish we still lived a minute away from each other.

Tanner and I got to go golfing with Grandpa Dan(okay we mostly just drove around)but it was fun. I miss being in KS( can you believe that?), it was warm there. I think the high here in Denver today is 70 degrees!!

Time with Gma and Gpa

We just got back from a long trip visiting my parents. They were so good to have us for a couple of weeks and we miss them already. Tanner is old enough now that he says that he wishes that Grandma lived closer.......me too, me too...(especially after that drive)
I love the above picture. It is me with the kids BEFORE church. You know you are in trouble when your kids wont even sit still and cooperate before church!
Somehow we survive the baby and toddler stage...

Here is Ava as a brunette!
Ava is as sassy and demanding as the day is long, but I just luv her tons!!

Tanner and Ava just adore my Mom. She just gets them, and knows how to make them smile even during a tantrum.

Ava is a bit attatched to Grandpa Dan......who wouldn't be? I think she was trying to secretly take his iphone and play with it.
He is always very patient with her and listens to her constant singing and little lady stories.
