BBQ

We had one last BBQ with Tara & Killian before they leave to join Clay in Great Falls this week. I didnt have a memory stick and my camera can only store 5 photos so this is all I got. Good luck to you guys in Montana we'll miss you!


He was playing with a doll for educational purposes only!


We sure are going to miss that smile!


Ethan & Chloe love playing with Killian and giving him toys, Chloe especially likes that she knows his name and calls him "K" its so cute, they are going to miss their cousin!

Tracy Aviary

Tara & Pam invited us to Tracy Aviary this past Saturday. It was such a nice day and all the birds were out. We even got to see a bird show! The kids had lots of fun and only got grouchy towards the end! Thanks for inviting us guys!

Mama & Baby giraffe

Killian, Chloë & Ethan at the giraffes... impossible to get all three looking at the camera

The tiger had 3 cubs (they're kinda hard to see)

I cannot believe that OUR little monkey is already 3! Time sure does fly when you're having fun! My mom summed it the best when she said its been....

"3 happy, fun filled, crawling, walking, running, hopping, fantastic years!! He is such a treasure!"

And he really is our little treasure I am so glad that I get the privilege of being his mom, I couldn't ask for a sweeter little boy!

Thanks Cece, Tara, & Killian for making Ethan's 3rd birthday so special and we are looking forward to some more partying this weekend!
