Blakes Leaves to MTC...

July 31st Blake headed to the MTC in Mexico City then later to serve in Columbia.  We are so proud of Blake with his desire to serve and we will continue to keep him in our prayers.

 

July 26th & 27th...

Saturday, Scott and I took Brandon home, then we had an early dinner at this new Mediterranean restaurant called Zullee.  We really liked it.  Then we went to Costco and Apple Lucy's for a pie shake.  

We got lots of fun pictures of Wade with his dad.

I can't believe he likes being thrown in the air, but he sure doesn't complain.

Brady went with Grandpa and Grandma, plus Josh to Washington for Brent's 85th birthday party.  I guess it was a huge party.  They even had a mechanical bull, which Brady gave a try.

On Sunday they went to Michael and Sharon's mission homecoming.  They had lunch at Robert's house after and they also went by the cemetery to see Roma's grave.

Loved getting more adorable pictures of our precious grandson.

Josh & Dad's Birthday Party...

Scott and I went to get Brandon after work on the 24th.  He was so mellow and even smiled at us which was so nice.  He even slept from 9:00 to 7:00 which was even better.  On Friday we watched Disney movies all day while I made a Texas Sheet cake and did a few things around the house.  Later, we went over to Mom and Dad's for a party for Josh and Dad.  Brandon was starting to get worked up so I brought him back around 8:00 to give him his medicine and see if I can get him to settle back down.  Unfortunately, he never slept but he never bothered us even though Scott heard him several times during the night.

Happy birthday Dad & Josh!  We gave Josh the Ram TRX T-shirt.

 

Blake's Mission Farewell...

Grandma outdid herself again with another beautiful t-shirt quilt.  

This time for Blake.

Everyone that made it to Blake's mission farewell went on a faith walk.  

I guess it was pretty inspiring. 

We are so proud of Blake and can't wait to hear about all the wonderful things he will do in the next two years!

 

Day With Kacie and Wade...

On July 28th Cole and Kacie came to Nampa to go to a concert.  On Saturday Cole went biking with Brandon and Jordan in McCall so we went to Nampa to hang out with Kacie and Wade.  We went to Scheels and Steve met us there then he treated us to lunch at Papa Kelsey's and then we got some dessert at Arctic Circle.  Wade was a perfect angel.

Love these pictures...

Joe and Jolene were so nice to let us swim in their pool for a little while.

Kacie said on their way home Sunday, Wade had had enough of his car seat so she buckled him in.  He looks so big in this picture.  We were so happy we got to spend a little time with them even though it was  so short.

 

Wade is Seven Month's Old...

Wade turned seven months old on July 17th.  He is so handsome!!!

Kacie said he is getting a little more difficult to take pictures now.  He wants to play with the props. (:

We sure love this little guy!
