4th of July Post #2

After dropping off Matt at the airport, Taylor and I went home for naps, then headed to the lake with Joni, Randy, Tyler, Alex, Nana, and Papa. Weather wasn't too bad (weather guy predicted rain, but it never rained)! Taylor let me put her life jacket on her and we swam a few times, had hotdogs, and watched the fireworks at Walden from the boat. We also had to cut the anchor loose cause it got stuck so bad we couldn't get it free...bummer! But, we had a great time and Taylor loved the water and fireworks!

We went to Lake Cherokee with Matt's family for a few days before 4th of July. The weather was sketchy but we made the most of it and had a really good time. It was great to see everyone while we were there...wish we were able to get together more often! I'll also have to take pictures of the house next time we are there...the bunk house is complete! Each of the four rooms are decorated a different theme...so neat. Matt, Taylor and I stayed in the 'Lake Room'!

On July 4th Taylor and I dropped Matt off at the airport to go to Pamplona, Spain to Run with the Bulls. His really good friend chose that location for his bachelor party! They attended Opening Ceremonies on Tuesday, Ran the Bulls and watched Bull Fighting on Wednesday, Thursday they are supposed to go out to a winery/vineyard, and Friday they all fly to Barcelona to catch flights back home on Saturday...Matt has a 12 hour layover in London...poor guy!
Here is a picture of Matt and Andy sometime before or after the run...they are close to the guy in blue...they are wearing white and red and waving..haha!

Tyler is Here (and has been for a while now, I'm just a little behind )

Tyler, my nephew, was born on Thursday, June 3rd at 1:38pm. He weighed 6lbs, 11oz and was 20 inches long. He is such a sweet baby! Big brother wasn't too thrilled at first, but loves him and watches over him now!!

Taylor meeting Tyler for the first time!

Alex warming up to the idea of a new little brother!

And Tyler is growing! This is such a cute idea...Joni and Randy did it with Alex. They take the kids picture with an oversized stuffed animal every month. It was neat to see how much Alex grew compared to the bear. Tyler has a monkey and I can't wait to watch him grow!
Sleepy baby!
