Happy 9th Birthday Boys!!!

It is hard to believe that these boys are 9 already. They can be lazy like old men yet still wrestle each other and race around the yard like puppies.

We hope to have many more years with you both.

You are both truely a wonderful part of our family.

Aren't we cute?

Parker, wearing his hat like daddy!

My favorite way!

Yea, they get to take baths together. This is so much easier. I love this bath seat for Cole. It allows me to have my hands free for both. They are enjoying each others company too. Gotta love it though, we had to clear the tub 5 minutes in the first night though because Cole decided to poop in the tub. YUCK! He has only done this on one other occassion in his 8 months of baths. The next night Parker told Cole 3 times not to poop in the tub. It was quite funny and Cole listened, thank goodness.

Strawberry pickin!!

My dad (Poppy), Parker, Cole and I went strawberry picking on Friday as we do each year.

We had alot of fun filling our buckets and of course eating strawberries along the way.

Not sure this strawberry is making it to the bucket.

Nope! These strawberries were great and we ALL enjoyed some as we picked

Look at how many we have so far

The strawberry pickin crew!

Can't wait til next season!

Big project, complete!

We finally got the long awaited swing set for the backyard. But oh was it a project. Somehow it was managed to be put together in 1 1/2 days, thanks to the help of our good friend Deanna. While they were building the kids played on the waterslide and then we grilled out.

Oh yes, here is the swing set in all it's pieces. Let's just say it took awhile just to get the pieces organized. Oh and the plastic on the ground is actually multiple bags filled with screws.

Let's get wet!!!

The boy loves his boots whether it is raining or not.

Thanks for the shades too Cooper!

Parker with Aidan and Bryce taking a break from the sun. They introduced Parker to Tom and Jerry which he loved. Don't they look sweet.

Yeah!!! It's complete and man is it FUN.

Cousin Paxton

Well a few weeks ago I finally had a few free days to travel up to VA and meet my new nephew. Like always time goes by entirely too fast and before we new it, it was time to head back. The 4 days we had were great though. Paxton was aboslutely as sweet as he looks in his pictures. He is such a love bug and it was great snuggling with him esp. with my babies being back at home. I miss our little chats Paxton. I can't wait to see you again. Oh and I guess your parents too :)

Hi little boy! You are absolutely PRECIOUS!

Fun playtime!

One of my favorite times, bath time!


Oh wait, miller time is pretty good too.
P.S. Aunt Susie this is what really happens when you are at work.



Our time was great Sus. I wish I were still there and miss you guys terribly.

Hope to come visit again really soon!
