Cale's 3rd birthday party!!

We had Cale's 3rd birthday party on Saturday. He was so excited and loved to hear us sing happy birthday to him (repeatedly)!! He loves Cars and Lightning McQueen so we themed the party for that, he was definitely in his element! We had a wonderful time celebrating the blessing he is!

Alaska and the beach...

The first week of August, Matt went on a fishing trip to Alaska. So, my mom, the kids and I and some friends packed up for some fun-filled days at the beach!

Matt caught this 300 lb. Halibut...it was the record for the Alaskan season!

HUGE...just huge! I'm going to be googling Halibut recipes for years!

I don't know what this is, but he was just a "little guy"

He had a great time. But, he was glad to get home and we were even more glad to see him! We missed our daddy terribly! Here's what we were doing while he was setting records...

Grayson, Ella, Hayes and Matti lounging in the pool

Hottie with the body!!

The lazy river...or "riber" as Cale calls it!

Good lovin'

Cale and Honey

Three men in a tub...or a boat!

Diva-licious

Catching up...July 4th!!

Well, I successfully didn't post a blog all summer. I'm pretty sure my reading audience is slim to none, but for those of you keeping up I apologize! I guess there's no better way to snag interest than to post consecutive blogs and then disappear for months at a time! Anyway, here are some pictures from the 4th of July get-together at our house. We had over some wonderful friends and their sweet children...we basically just grilled and played, it was a great holiday!!
