So Proud

We are all so proud of Carla and what she is doing in Afganistan. It's nice for us to see she's enjoying some of her free time. Can't wait to see you again in person. We love you!!!

Talent

My sister asked Brad to take some pictures of Brittany for her to use as a Senior portrait. This is one of them. He sure has a good eye for it.

I can't believe Brit will be graduating and heading off to Reno this year. Then again it's already 2007.

Good job Brad!!! Congrats Brit!!!

An experience

We try to make the most of Brad's days off. It seems like his work days go on forever and his days off fly by. So in an attempt to make them count we took the boys to feed the fish at the lake. The kids love it and it makes me get a little grossed out. The fish are carp and they are the ugliest things, also the sound it creates with 50 of them slurping on the surface of the water and splashing around, well, I don't know how to describe it. Then to watch the boys inch their way closer to the egde of the gang plank around the marina just makes me anxious. I guess it's one of those things you kind of have to experience to understand. I hope we can share it with everyone someday. :)

Just Like Dad

Jake is ready to go. He loves doing everything and anything with Brad. Just the other day he wouldn't let Brad shave without being included. Cute!!!

90+ Degrees

Okay it's offically HOT. the boys have spent the last 2 days in the backyard playing in the little pool we have. I don't think I'm ready yet.
