The Boys

There is nothing really going on this week but I thought I would post a few more picture of the boys. Griffen turned three months old this week and he is starting to do a few things like grabbing at his toys and rolling from his stomach to back on some occasions. We tried potty training Barrett this weekend and the first day went very well we made good progress and then after that we somehow went downhill. So for now we are taking a break and are going to revisit the issue in a couple of weeks, wish us luck.

Six Flags, Dora, Water Ballons Oh My

This weekend we were once again back in Kentucky for our niece Anna's Birthday party. Along with the Dora themed party Tom and Jackie supplied us with Six Flag tickets to start the party off right. Saturday morning we loaded the caravan up and headed to Six Flags. Since it was over 90 degrees the adults only lasted about three hours but the kids had a good time riding the rides.

After Six Flags and of course after the naps it was time to kick off the Dora party. Anna loved her cake and her gifts and for the rest of the night we heard "Back Pack, Back Pack" Then the party kicked off outside with the water ballons even the adults got in on all the action. We had a fun packed weekend. This weekend some of my family might come up and are thinking of taking the kids to the zoo but other then that we are staying home!!

Fourth of July and More

Wow what a busy weekend. There was so much going on that I will not be able to go into details but I will do so some highlights.



Barrett went to the doctor in Louisville on Wednesday and they referred us to a pediatric hand surgeon the next day. Nick and I are still in awe of Dr.Gupta because he got Barrett to show him his hand and Barrett even let him touch and move his fingers without a problem. Barrett will have to have another surgery but not as intense or painful at the last six. We go back in October to schedule the surgery for January.

We started out the holiday weekend with my family. This year Roddy and Lynn hosted the fourth of July with a cookout at their beautiful new home. They rented a bouncer and bought a small pool for the kids. Let's just say they had a good time. We have a wonderful spread of food and it was great seeing everyone and spending time and catching up with all the family.

The next day was spent with Nick's family. This has become an annual family gathering and it was our first time making the trip. We would hear all the great stories about it so we decided to go check it out. Well the stories checked out and we had a wonderful time visiting, eating, playing in the creek and the pool along with the water guns and bubbles. The bigs boys went off in another field to shoot their guns. They shot for about two hours and it sounded like Ft.Knox in action. We did not get to stay and camp because Barrett was not keen on the idea yet but hopefully next year we will get to do that.
