Hannibal the Cannibal

Welcome Home, Soldier! Andy was able to come home from Iraq for 2 weeks. He was really glad to see his family, especially his wife, Francy and his 9 month old daughter, Allyssa. He returned to Iraq today and will be there until Christmas. We love you, Andy! Stay safe!



Ty loves his cousin, Livie. He says, "Hers my best!"



The boys love to play dress up and ride their wiggle cars!



Meet Hannibal the Cannibal! Trevor has a new pet. He would have had two new pets, a toad AND a frog, except, Hannibal ATE his roomate! Yes, toads eat small amphibians, like frogs that are the exact same size as they are. GAG!

Livin' the High Life

Trevor lives the "high life" these days! He loves to jump off the high diving board now at the pool! He calls this a pencil dive!



It's a bird, it's a plane, no...it's just Trev!



Tyson stays in the water up to his shoulders! It won't be long before he's swimming like a fish!



Brotherly Love!!! After a long, fun day at the pool we chill out on the couch and watch a movie. (Ty can't stand to be a foot away
from Trevor. Luckily, Trevor doesn't seem to mind!)

The Tooth Fairy Cometh

The Tooth Fairy had to come to our house again this week! Trevor lost his 8th tooth!



Ty can't wait until he is old enough to loose teeth! He was so excited for Trev!



Thanks, Mamie, for our package of goodies! We LOVED them!



Flush away, friends and family, flush away! FINALLY, the bathroom nears completion!

Black Sugar

We love to go to the pool!



This documents Trevor's first diving board experience. (AKA: Black Sugar)
Trevor described this experience as "black sugar". "Black", because he felt so scared on the board and "sugar" because it was like an amazing blast of sweet joy as he landed in the water! Go Trev!



Tyson has overcome his fear of "water in his ears". He calls this trick, "Look, Ma, no hands!"



Goof balls at the pool!

What Chu Talkin' Bout, Willis?

Both boys are taking a "dino class" where they make a dinosaur craft each week. Yesterday they made dinosaurs out of clay! Trevor informed me that the dinos needed to have 4 legs so it could stand better. Unfortunately, this ruled out making their favorite, the T-Rex! They had to settle for the good ol' Diplodocus!



"What chu talkin' bout, Willis?"



Trevor also had soccer camp yesterday!



And we ended the day with a tea party! Tyson loves to play with his friend, Ella! I think he enjoys being the "big guy" for a change.

Bath and Blooms

On Amy's request, here is a picture of our work in progress...anyone available to babysit so we can have time to finish it?



Here is some of the blooming action in our yard.




See ya later, Gator!

Happy 4th of July!

We solute you, Uncle Andy! We pray that God will protect you and watch over you while you are in Iraq! Hurry home! We miss you and love you so much!



We spent the weekend in Indiana and enjoyed watching the fireworks over Chapman Lake!



The boys loved being with their cousins, Griffin and Brenden!
Hanging out with Grandma was a lot of fun, too!



This was the first time that Tyson had seen fireworks! Grandma, popcorn, boat ride, and fireworks...what could be better?!
