we love dad!

Dad is a good example becaause he shows us that you can work hard, but take time to play and spend with family as well.

He is a very big part of our happy family! We love spending time with him and Nicole and Nathan sure miss him when he's at work (they aren't the only ones either). He is such a good guy! He just an overall nice, thoughtful, honest, thrustworthy, loyal, hardworking man. WE LOVE HIM!

summertime

We have enjoyed this summer by playing outside quite often! Nicole and Nathan love the outdoors! Whether it's going to a nearby park, swimming, going for a walk, or just jumping on the trampoline in our own backyard, the are all smiles! This is the first year that Nicole played tee ball with a team. We went boating for the first time as a family, and we hope to get some camping time in when Dad has some free time. Family reunions and visits have kept us busy! We're excited to take a trip up to Canada at the end of August to visit family there! We love summertime and are glad that this summer hasn't gotten TOO hot. It has been perfect!

sisters

We sure love having little sisters that love being aunts to our children! We surely couldn't ask for more. Our kids adore Jordyn and Fiona as much as we do! I think I get just as excited to see them as my kids do!

These are a few pictures from our Carribbean Cruise that we took back in April. Steve has amazing luck and his name was drawn at a work party for the grand prize! What a prize! 7 days and Steve's first experience in the ocean! LOVED IT!

children

Two very important things in my life!!! One is named Nicole Ann and the other is named Nathan Lyle!!! Watching them learn and grow is a very entertaining and enjoyable daily activity. Who knew such little people could cause so much fatigue yet so much love within the walls of our home? We love them SO MUCH!!!

amazing!

It's about time! That's all I have to say about me gaining more insight of all the amazing positive things that the internet has to offer! It is very ironic how just last year I considered the internet to be irrelevant in my life. I had no use or desire to have it, and now after getting it, I can't live without it. I am happy to be able to share pictures and thoughts with so many others through the computer! WOW! I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do!!!
