Happy Father's Day

I am not very good at writing down words, but I am going to give it a shot. God has given my two boys the best Daddy ever! Ray loves them unconditionally and whole-heartedly. When he is with the boys a whole other side of him comes out. I've never seen anyone play so hard as he does when he is with them. They wrestle, play sports, crash cars, chase and a multitude of other things. He also cuddles with them, wipes tears, feeds them and holds them any time they ask. The greatest thing about their Daddy is that he loves the Lord and does his absolute best to show them this and be the best example he can be. Happy Father's Day, Ray!

I am so thankful my boys have three strong, wise, loving examples of great men in their lives....Happy Father's Day Daddy, Papa and Grandpa!

Summer Fun

On Wednesday we went to hang out with our friends, the Grahams . We met the Grahams this past January when Clayton and Carson played on the same soccer team. Carson and Clayton hit it off instantly. Carson is all boy just like Clayton.....the rougher the better and go at full speed all the time. The great thing about their family and ours is that everyone hits it off perfectly. Jodi(the mom) and I have talked comfortably from day one....I know you are thinking it is b/c I talk all the time. Jodi holds her own, too. :) Scott and Ray chat up a storm...another phenomenon. Their daughter, Grace(almost 3)loves to be a mommy to Cooper and he surprisingly lets her. It is always such a great feeling when you as a family click with another family.

We went to their house to swim, jump on the trampoline, and play on the swing set. It was a blast! Two cool things about their trampoline is that it has an attached basketball goal and then Jodi added the sprinkler underneath....a perfect time! They have great toys that are new to us and Clayton's favorite...video games. We really enjoy them and feel like we have known them longer than we really have. I didn't have my camera and I wish I had.

I am lovin' summer!

Fun in the Sun in El Paso

The little guys and I are in El Paso visiting Ray's parents. We are having a blast. We have been to the zoo, played in the sprinkler, played basketball, taken rides in the mini-Jeep, eaten lots of authentic Mexican food and seen extended family. We are looking forward to swimming, the Harley store, UTEP,a trip to the mountains and more time with family. I always enjoy coming to El Paso, it is such a great city despite the desert look. The mountains make it worth it. The dry heat (it was 103 today) is great, too. You can be in the shade and get a slight breeze and it is perfect. We all know in Dallas that it is unbearable at 103. Pictures will come when I return as I forgot my cord to upload pics. Enjoy your week!
