Precious Moments

Last Friday we welcomed Braden David Raymond into our family not only legally, but eternally. We are so happy for Jared and Joy. We love Braden very much and grateful to have him in our lives.

Because of the sealing on Friday, my parents along with my brother, Ryan and is family were able to come over to Boise for the special occasion. We all had a great time together, but time always seems to go by a lot faster when company is in town. Sadly, I did not take a single picture all weekend...I was too busy having fun with the fam.

Great Times

This is me with Jenna and my good friend Tiffany and her little boy, Kacen. Tiff and her husband, Kyle, came to Boise last week. Tiffany and I were able to spend some time together while Kyle was in meetings for work. It was so much fun hanging out again. I'm so grateful for great friends, especially for ones like Tiffany who have been around since Jr. High.

Adam Turns FOUR!!!

I can't believe it has been four years since we've had Adam. He's a great kid and love being his parents.


We had a little party for Adam at the park on Saturday. It was a beautiful day and he loved having his family and friends there with him to celebrate. It was a little dramatic when his "most favorite" balloons drifted off into the trees...oops...but later we went and shot off his rocket and he really enjoyed that. (I'm not sure who liked it more, Ryan or Adam, but if I were to guess, I'd say Ryan.)


We love birthdays but we can wait until the next one...time just goes by too fast!

Tub Time

My kids LOVE the bath tub. It's not very often we are able to get them in at the same time. I guess they both like to have the tub to theirselves...do you blame them?

Funny sayings

Lately Adam has been saying some really funny phrases like:
"I don't believe my eyes"
"You've gotta be kidding me"
And the most favorite (and I wonder where he gets this from) "Listen to me. Don't talk when I'm talking to you."

I swear Jenna says "All done" when she runs out of food.

Don't you just love your kiddos? I sure do! :)
