We had a fun 4Th of July weekend.

What could be better then swimming in the pond and having cookouts.

Lots of good memories were made that's for sure.

I just thought this quote was cute....

The boys with their Great Grandpa Despain. They love him so much. Grandpa has a kind heart and will do anything for anyone.

Josh took me on our second date to have pizza with his grandparents. At first I was scared to death, who takes a girl on their 2nd date to see the grandparents. Josh has always gone to his grandpa for answers and I guess he wanted to know what he thought of me and I guessed i passed. haha!

I love talking to Grandpa Despain, he worked with my Grandpa Porter logging and my uncle Farrel, uncle Jamie and uncle Gary. I love hearing the stories that he has with my family, it makes me feel closer like a I have a special bond with him because he knows my family. He makes me miss my grandpa but i know my grandpa porter was smiling pretty big when i married Lynn Despains grandson. Thats what my grandma told me.

Lately I've been going over and Cooking with Grandpa. I'm trying to steal all his recipes because he's one great cook. Really he is and when i try to cook his recipes on my own it never turns out like his.

We love Grandpa Despain!

He's so much fun.

I just love this stage. He's all over the place. He's trying to copy words that i say. He plays and teases with you. He still loves to cuddle. He really is the cutest 21 month old I ever been around. I love being his Mommy. How could I not, just look at that smile.

i love my Dad!

Summer Fun

Wiffle ball!

We had a blast playing ball this week.
Even with this nasty wind and smokey air we had to get out and try to enjoy the summer.

Cooper didn't even know i could run, thats what he told me. It really isn't a run but more of jog but it made my 6 year old proud to see his mom running around with him.

I remember playing ball with my mom and dad. My mom was always so good and my dad always made us laugh at how awkward he was at playing.

Wiffel ball, is always good times.

This is so sad.

My heart goes out to everyone who is involved in this fire.
