A Reason to Celebrate

An extremely belated congrats to Erin and Jay (and Bella, too) on their recent engagement.

A sorta belated congrats to Mindy and Matthew on the birth of their son, Charlie.

We love you all very much.

Wow! What a Month!

Okay, I seriously suck at keeping up with my blog. Total sucksville. As a result, I am going to summarize our fantastic month of May in as few words as possible and let the pics do the talking. So, here it goes:

Papa and Coco came for a visit at the beginning of the month. We had a wonderful visit with them and I've already blogged a little bit about this visit in previous blogs.

Then, Papa, Coco, and my cousin Amy came back for the Cherry Point Air Show. Patrick, Papa, Amy, McKenna, and Brady went to the air show. Coco watched Kaney. I got a pedicure. (This was the best air show ever in my opinion.) We had a another great visit, but it was too short.

Next, Papa Jerry, Namma Sharlene, and Aunt Amy came down over Memorial Day weekend. We had an amazing visit and packed a lot of stuff into five days. We went to McKenna's dance recital (ADORABLE!!!!!!!) We watched Kaney get baptized (ADORABLE!!!!)Namma and McKenna planted corn, tomatoes, and flowers in out front flower bed. We can't get grass, flowers, or bushes to grow; but the corn is growing like wildfire. Go figure. Brady and McKenna chased Namma Sharlene down the street with the hose. (Yep, they got her.) Aunt Amy had the pleasure of staying up until Miss M was tired enough to go to sleep. And last but not least, Kane took his first steps and had his first taste of ice cream cake.

WHEW! What a great month!

Just Cuz

Where Did My Baby Go?

Our neighbor was throwing out his son's old Razor (scooter) and asked if our kids wanted it instead. It took Mckenna approximately 5 minutes to figure it out.

Bubby's Idea of Heaven

Here are some truths about Brady:

Truth#1 Brady loves John Deere
Truth#2 Brady's favorite color is John Deere green, not green. If you ask him he says, "John Deere Green."
Truth#3 Brady's favorite song is "John Deere Green" by Joe Diffe.
Truth#4 Brady can tell you the difference between a front loader, combine, backhoe, and tractor. Yes, he is only two.
Truth#5 Brady will watch John Deere footage on the internet for as long as you will let him.

As a result, Papa John took him to a local John Deere dealer.

While I was blogging this, it reminded me of a conversation I had with the kids a few weeks ago.

When I drive McKenna to school, we always pass a cemetary. A few weeks ago, McKenna asked me what it was,so I told her.

I said, "A cemetary is where your old body goes when you grow a new one to go to Heaven." This led to a discussion about what heaven is like. I told her that heaven is all of your favorite things all rolled up into one place.

McKenna decided that heaven was the pirate ride at Myrtle Beach. I asked Brady what he thought heaven was and he said, "Combines."
