4th

We've had a great, long weekend of celebrations. Always, 4th of July in Moreland but this time with a mini-birthday party thrown in there so Brice's GREAT-grandparents could participate too. Not many kids have great-grandparents anymore.

One more thing

Brian and I had a great trip to the Dwyer Group's Annual Reunion in Grapevine, TX. We stayed at the Gaylord Texan and loved every minute! They had indoor fireworks one night. We are so lucky that our work allows us the opportunity to take such nice trips - something we wouldn't be able to do unless it was for "work". We're looking forward to the day we can take the boys with us so they can experience these great places too. The "gold man" was one of many roaming entertainers.

After you've been one all day...

You get to play outside with your big brother and get all wet & muddy! Happy birthday my precious Brice!

When you're one year old...

You go to see Dr. Slade for your one-year check up and you WALK to the scale. Brice weighed in at 22 pounds and is 30 inches tall. He stopped to check out all the nurses as he made his way down the hall. He cried pretty good over three shots and threw his BB at the nurse that administered them!

a good man

My husband, also now my co-worker, is having a bad day.
I'm being quietly supportive.
Unless he needs to me to hike up in the back of the box truck in a dress to spray WD-40 into some big piece of equipment...which I did! I'm sure it was quite a site.
His efforts are noble, but not working.
The earliest the truck can get into the shop is Friday.
Not so good for business.
Even so...he just called to tell me he loves me.
God, thank you for this good man!

The very best daddy of all...

We've had a great Father's Day morning. Relaxing with the boys, eating breakfast & drinking coffee. Sam & Brice gave their daddy a few simple gifts so here are some pictures. And, while I'm at it, let me just say that I know there are lots of great daddies out there (mine for one!) but we are VERY lucky to have ours! Brian, you rock!

Funny Faces

Caden & Angie dropped by today to give the new swing set a spin. Turned out to be a short playdate because of the rain. Although, they still played - just in the rain! Afterwards we put them in dry clothes and I took a few pictures of the best friends. The funny faces turned out, well, pretty funny!
