Labor Day Weekend

This Labor Day, Kelt and I went up to Pine Valley and stayed with our friends Clint and Sara at their cabin...

Today we went bowling with the kids...

I could not get enough of them in their little bowling shoes!

Natalie got two spares, and Drake got one!

I'm so proud of my little sweetheart!

Finally Finished!

A little over a year, and I've finally finished Drake's cross-stitch birth record!  All that's left is for Kelt to make a frame for it!

First Annual 31st of July Parade

Yesterday, Natalie announced she was going to throw a parade. After knocking on doors to rally her friend's, putting everyone in order, complaining to me that it wouldn't be a "real" parade without candy to throw (I managed to scrape together a small bag), and appointing me the leader of the parade with a wooden spoon for my "paton", this is what followed...

Drake's Third Birthday

This year, Drake chose a pirate theme for his "berpay" party...

hugs for the birthday boy!
