Camping with Grandpa and Grandma Loveless

When we were in Utah the kids and Ty went out camping with Grandpa and Grandma Loveless. Bryson also went along. The kids had so much fun!

Hattie's First Haircut

While we were in Utah Grandma Barker gave Hattie her first haircut. She really needed it! She sat pretty still and loved her puppy cape! Thanks Grandma. P.S. we are really excited for you to come to Nebraska because Hattie is in need of another haircut, so bring your scissors:)

Pineview Dam

While we were in Utah we went out to Pineview Dam for a picnic and to play in the water. The kids had so much fun throwing rocks into the water.

Look who lost a tooth

Thats right!! Lando lost his first tooth. He was so excited to be able to put it under his pillow and have the tooth fairy come. In the morning he ran into our room with his dollar and was so excited! We can't believe how fast he is growing up.

Happy 3rd Birthday Port!

FYI this post is over 2 months overdue, but here we go anyways. Towards the end of May we decided to take a trip back to Utah.
Funny side note...we were going to come to Utah in July, but when Ty went into work to get time off they told him he had to take it now because he'd have other obligations in July that wouldn't allow him to go than. So with a few hours notice we called our families and were on our way the next day to have our vacation. So sorry we didn't get to see everyone while we were there.
While we were in Utah we got ot celebrate Porter's 3rd Birthday. A few days before his Birthday we celebrated with Ty's family.

Grandpa Loveless found this perfect tractor cake for Porter.

Porter checking out all his fun gifts.

On Porter's actual Birthday we were at my parents house. We started the day out with our traditional breakfast in bed, which was french toast. After Port finished eating he got to open his presents from us. Later that afternoon we went and had lunch at Chick-fil-a (we don't have Chick-fil-a in Nebraska, so we were really excited to go have lunch there.) Bronson, Megan, Brooke, and her girls, my parents and our family all had lunch and then headed to Dinosaur Park.

That night we had the family over for some Superman Birthday cake. We had such a fun time and it was great to get to celebrate with family!

Look who turned 29!

Yep that's right Ty is 29 (as of June 17th...I know I am really behind!) The morning started off with breakfast in bed and presents. I took the kids to the store and let them help pick presents. We decided it was time for dad to have a WII. All the kids did so good keeping the big secret from him. After breakfast and presents Ty had to work so we spent the afternoon cooking dinner and making Ty's favorite cake, which is Banana cake with cream cheese frosting. YUMMY! After dinner we set up the WII and had a night of fun!

We Don't Need Pets!

Every time we go to the pet store my kids try and talk me (Ty would buy them what ever pet they wanted!) into buy a pet, but lucky for me, we live in a neighborhood full of wild pets! So I just tell them the wild animals are our pets!

Meet our pet possum. He may look cute, but we don't go outside when we see him, because he is a little moody!

Meet our "mommy" and "baby" as Hattie has named them. While we were on vacation in May, "mommy" decided to have "baby" next to our deck and they have stuck around ever since.

And of course our pet ducks. They didn't stay around for very long, but it was sure fun to watch Mother Duck and all her babies follow her around.

I know we shouldn't have a favorite, but "baby" is our favorite pet.
