Hiking in the Canyon

While Ryan was in town we took a little outing to Palo Duro Canyon. Drew had only been once in his life and Ryan hadn't been in many many years. We loaded up Mom, Everett and the three of us in the car and hit the canyon road.

First up was a little splashing in the creek which was full of water from all of our recent rains. Drew and I got Everett in and shortly behind us Mom came plunging in. She kept saying "I love this, I love this place" and "can we stay forever here." It was pretty precious! We then took a short little hike down a path and Everett got to ride on his Dad and Uncle Ryan's shoulders the whole way. It was a quick little outing but we all enjoyed it... especially Mom who can't wait to go back.

 

 Clearly Everett was not a big fan of the creek and yes we do look a little redneck.

 

 

 

Happy Father's Day 2015

As far as Father's go Everett has one of the best! I love to watch Everett's eyes light up when his Dada comes home and Drew's are shining just as bright!! These two are nuts over one another and I couldn't be prouder. Drew is such a loving and devoted Dad and never balks at changing diapers. He can always make Everett laugh harder than anyone else and has a special way of making playing all the more fun! They are two peas in a pod, not to mention how they look exactly like one another!
So Happy Father's Day to our favorite Dad! We wouldn't want to do life without you! We love you!!

 

Little Family Photo Session

The past few weeks have been super busy around here. Patrick got engaged to Taren Bullock and we are beginning wedding planning and celebrations there. We love Taren and are so excited she will be becoming a part of our family. I truly couldn't have asked for a better girl for Patrick!

We celebrated Sweet Kelsey's High School Graduations, pictures and post to come. And we received a surprise visit from Ryan!! It has been almost 2 years since we have seen Ryan or his family. We last got together in New Orleans just before they left for Hawaii. Ryan came in just in time for Kelsey's graduation so for several days my Mom got to have all three of her kids together in one place! Of course I had to document the occasion with a quick little photo session. It was a little difficult to work with a timer and get Mom and Everett to look at the camera but I think we got a few keepers from the mix!
