Happy Birthday Dad!!

With Ellie in Tulum, Mexico over Christmas... An awesome trip and Christmas present. With kids, the all inclusive resorts are a must! We had so much fun.. Thanks Dad.


With Noah in his kitchen.. This was the start of the little friendship they have. Noah has loved him and followed him around ever since...

With Ellie, Noah, and "Big" Maddy as my kids call her- which is ironic since she is actually tiny for her age, whereas "little" Maddy- our cousin on the Bringhurst side is off the charts for her age.. The kids love grandpa! And we appreciate all the time he spends with them when we go to his house.. He tends to hang around the house to make sure that he doesn't miss any events or time with us while we are there. It is nice to be appreciated. .. and also
Happy Anniversary to my Parents!! My mom was smart and got married on his birthday so that he would never forget their anniversary.. I wish I had pictures of the two of you to post but I don't think that I do.. Anyway, love you guys!!

HILARIOUS!!! mike just said, "mommy go down." (i scrolled up and he got upset) and then when he saw elliot's picture he said, "that girl took the baby up the stairs and bumped his head on the toy." the things they remember...mike is excited to see noah tomorrow. :)
p.s. your mom is genius for marrying your dad on his birthday!

Great Tribute!! I kinda laughed to myself cause the only time I met your dad was at your shower. It was chaotic with kids and I think he got kind of mad at kennedy and one of your nieces for messing something up. I remember thinking, "we should go!" HA! Kennedy was difficult.
That was really smart of your mom. I think it's great that your kids have a sweet relationship with him. My dad can be soooo sweet to mine one minute and irritated the next. So you never know what your getting.
I know you are busy but I wanted to follow up and see if you are able to check out that lead in oregon for a job?? Just wondering!
Got your baby announcement, sooooo cute as always.
