Happy Birthday, Grayson

It is hard to believe that little Grayson is 3 years old! As is becoming a typical birthday tradition in our family, Grayson celebrated for several days. His first party was at the Zoo with several of his friends and of course his brothers and Matney. Though it was a nice hot Missouri day, we still had a great time checking out all the neat animals and petting the animals. By the time we left we were all very thankful to have airconditioned cars and homes, but the day was great and it was wonderful to see how much fun Grayson had.

Grayson's second party was on his actual birthday, July 13th and we continued the celebration with an orange theme (his favorite color) and yummy food. He had a great time opening presents and got a very neat barn and a jeep and trailer to haul his animals around in.




Happy Birthday to such a cute and sweet little guy. We love you!

Happy 4th of July

It is hard to believe another 4th of July has come and gone. We celebrated the holiday at the lake this weekend and enjoyed the refreshing water due to the very high temperatures outside. The weekend was filled with good food, friends, family and the celebration of our Independence. We live in a wonderful country and thank all those who have served in one way or another to protect our freedom.

Our little firecracker, Miss M, loved putting on a show for everyone and showing off her pretty dress. She even won "cutest baby" at the Sportsman Club Annual Parade! Matney has changed so much in the last year and we can only imagine what all the future 4th of July's hold.
