All Sappy

Ok, not really since I am never really sappy, but Thursday (28th) is mine and Trevor's 3rd wedding anniversary already! I can't believe how fast it has gone by and seriously how great it has been. I couldn't have chosen a better husband, friend, and father to our children.
On a side note, has anyone else been with their husband for a LONG time before getting married? I always hate when people ask how long we have been married and I say, "3 years.", but we were together for a long time before that - this September it will be 14 years! I always feel like I am losing those years for some reason. Stupid, I know! Anyway, here is a slideshow of some of our wedding pictures. I am not sure how to make the pictures fit correctly in this slideshow though, so sorry about some cut-off heads, etc.! We were married in Maui, Hawaii for those that don't know that already. I will have to try and put a slideshow together for our 14 year "dating" anniversary with all our old high school prom pictures and such - that could be fun! :) We'll see...

Family Pictures from Graduation

I finally was able to get through some of the family pictures I took at Jolynn's graduation. We obviously had too many cameras going because as you can see everybody is looking at different places! Oh well!

My mom, dad, and all the girls

Jolynn with all her nephews (maybe we will be able to throw a niece into the mix here soon!) :)



And the whole family - included spouses, kids, and my grandparents

Graduation

My sister, Jolynn, graduated from college (in 3 years, nonetheless - Miss. Smartypants!) last weekend. She is going to be getting her Master's over the next year in education - math and spanish. Here are some pictures of her graduation ceremony. I will be putting up some of the family pictures I took here as soon as I get to them. Congratulations, Jo!

Bowling

As I stated in the post below, we took Teagun bowling for the first time on Saturday. He wasn't too into it though. He actually only bowled a couple times. He had a lot of fun running around and playing anyway though (with the sunburn and all!). Here are a couple pictures of Teagun and my nephew Boone.

Parenting 101

REMEMBER TO PUT SUNSCREEN ON YOUR CHILDREN!!! Seriously, can I be anymore stupid? I even brought it with me and then left it in the suitcase and totally spaced it when we left to go to my sister's graduation (outside obviously). It wasn't all that warm and pretty cloudy, so I honestly didn't think much of it. Now my pale little boy looks like a little red lobster! This is about 10 hours after graduation and definitely the height of the redness. Lots of Aloe lotion over the past 24 hours and it looks MUCH better today, thankfully. I still feel so bad though. Lesson learned though and hopefully I won't be making that mistake again this summer!

So these are just snapshots - we took Teagun bowling for the first time this weekend and I wanted to post some of those pictures (coming soon), but figured I'd better explain my little lobster-boy first!

Motorcycles and Race Cars

We went to a little carnival while we were in Montana. Teagun was sooo excited to ride on the motorcycles - he was just beside himself when we put him on there. I honestly did not think he would like it once it started moving though. It was a little big for him and as it went around it went up and down like it was going over hills. He doesn't even really care for the carrousel that we have here in town when Trevor is riding with him. But he surpised me and LOVED it. He rode it several times! There were also a couple different race car rides that he enjoyed, but the motorcycles were definitely the biggest hit!

Sprinkler

We finally had a weekend of summer weather here - it was in the 90's last weekend. We were out of town most of the weekend, but when we got back home on Sunday evening I took Teagun out to run through the sprinkler for the first time. He wasn't too sure about it. I had to show him how to do it (in my capris and all!) and then he thought it was pretty fun. Next time I am at Walmart, I am going to try and find a fun kid sprinkler - I think he would really enjoy that! Now the weather has dropped back down into the 60's this week. What the heck is up with that?!?! I could probably do a whole post on weather in of itself - crazy! Anyway, here are some pictures of Teagun running through the sprinkler! Be careful not to be blinded by my super pale boy!!!

Posing

We got Teagun to pose...well, kind of anyway! :) My sister-in-law was laying in the grass next to him asking him to copy what she was doing and he was actually doing it and thought it was funny, so I was able to get some cute pictures!

On a totally different note - Teagun can say his ABC's!!! I have a sneaky suspicion he has know them for awhile, but just wouldn't do the whole thing for us because when we would sing them to him, he would randomly say a letter in it's correct place as we were going along. But now he does the whole song by himself as well as the "next time won't you sing with me!" part....so cute!!!

Quick Trip

We made a quick weekend trip to Montana this weekend to go to Trevor's cousin, Ryan's, graduation. It was a fun trip. Teagun got to visit his great-grandparents (and I just realized when going through my pictures, I was horrible and didn't even take a picture of him with them!!! Whoops!). It was HOT though! The graduation ceremony was in some horse arena-type thing and it was in the 90's outside and even hotter inside. Thankfully, Ryan's last name starts with an "L" and then we were able to sneak out. Teagun was very good, but starting to get very antsy and was bright red from being so hot. Hopefully I will be good this week and post some more pictures from the weekend - we went to a little carnival and he ran through the sprinkler for the first time when we got home today. The weather is supposed to cool down quite a bit again, so I had to break out the swim trunks for the first time this season before it did! Anyway, here is a picture of me, Trevor, Teagun, Ryan, Jennifer (Trevor's sister), and Logun (Jennifer's husband) after graduation. Congratuations, Ryan!!! (oh, and please ignore the fat pregnant belly! All you mom's out there can attest to this horrible in between stage - I hate it!!! Just look pregnant already!)



And one of our family. Look at that - Teagun is smiling!!!
