Grandma's House

Tatum and her cousin Carina were instant best friends. Carina lives in Guam so, this was their first meeting. They were attached at the hip the entire trip.

Glenwood Hot Springs Pool

We had quite the adventure at the hot springs pool... it rained most of the time and even hailed on us. Davis and Tatum braved the giant waterslide with their daddy, but mostly we just stayed in the water to keep from freezing.

We got to enjoy the beauty (and the heat) of Zion National Park last week.

Kyra's B-day

To celebrate Kyra's b-day we did a mini shopping spree and dinner at Olive Garden. It was such a fun, silly night. We topped it off with antique portraits... random, but quite fitting to our silly night. Happy birthday Kyra... you are so awesome!!!

Farewell T-ball

We survived (barely) our first season of t-ball. Thanks coach Rich for your time and patience! Goofballs Tyler and Davis

Little buddies: Davis, Rees, and Nathan

La Petite Artiste de Corona

Tatum has really enjoyed painting and drawing and has recently completed her masterpiece submission to the Friend Magazine. She can't wait to start her art classes this summer!

Love this Guy...

Cheers to 9 happy years!!!

5K and Fun Run

Tired and sweaty father and daughter.

These two thought it was more fun to run away from mom...

Storm Baseball Game

Davis had so much fun with his daddy and got to march with his Little League team on the field. Now, if they would only let his daddy throw the opening pitch we would all be in heaven.
