I've had some requests for a "little-walker's" update. She walks every once in a while but it's still much faster to crawl to her destination. Here's a video that proves the hard fact: Laney is about to pass Clayton up in the Heavy Weight category. Princess is her name...wrestlin' is her game!

Prescott Valley, here we come!

Mesa Arizona Temple Visitor's Center. Brings back some memories :)!

Thanks to lots of help and planning...we took off to Arizona to meet Chad, Amency and Baby Rayla, and they didn't even know we were coming! It was so much fun to surprise them and be in the AZ for 4 days. Beautiful mountains! Awesome company! Great food! Precious Baby! Loved every minute! But the kids missed it...

The first night we were there, Chad and Amency took us to downtown Prescott to eat at this little Pub, yum! There just happened to be this cool little candle shop across the street. So, Clayton got his first candle-dipping lesson in AZ and Laney took her first step (we think) in the AZ. Good week.

Mile Stone!

We just had a great trip out to Prescott Arizona to visit with Chad, Amency and baby Rayla. To our surprise, Laney Bug showed some interest in 'walking' on her own. Here's a video we caught right when we got home from vacation. It may take her awhile to actually go forward due to the eye-closing-mechanism that happens everytime she smiles.

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Our 'baby' turned 3 years old last Saturday. Where has the time gone? We did a little bit of birthday here-and-there. Saturday we went to Chuck E Cheese and had pizza for breakfast...the breakfast of champions. Then we waited until we got to Branson and had a birthday with Lolli & Pop; and of course THE POOL! (more pictures from Branson to come). Then when we got home he got to shop for whatever he wanted from Grandma. He had a great birthday(s) and keeps asking to "do birthday again".

There's never a dull moment with our baby boy and we couldn't imagine a minute differently. Happy birthday Clayton! PS: Thank you to everyone that wished him a happy birthday! We love you all!

On The Move! A Laney Update!

But here she is...cruisin' the living room! She is well on her way to standing up on her own for a bit and she is getting quite fast walking around the furniture. My favorite is that she has to be in 'the pile' (as Clayton calls it) AKA on top of whomever is laying on the ground. SORRY, looks like the video didn't work. SOOOO, here's the many fAcEs of Laney...

Fairwell Faithful Friend!

Yesterday we got the news that Lilli had wondered into the wrong yard and didn't make it out. It was her passion to go exploring (and to ruffle a few feathers). This time it didn't work out in her favor. I am surprised how difficult it is to say goodbye to our little ball-of-fire; but it hasn't been without tears and a lot of looking around the corner to see if she is going to come running when we mention taking a 'walk'. So to all the good memories, we say "We love you and will miss you Lilli-Lou".

We always got to know our neighbors by walking Lilli outside. Everyone would stop to talk to her. I guess we'll just have to use our kids to make friends now.



This has always been our favorite video. Watch to the end and see why.

Happy 4th of July!

Saturday night we had some friends come over for a festival feast!
A night full of great friends, delicious food and fun fireworks!

My favorite thing that Clayton does (this week) is say the Pledge of Allegiance-speedy style.

Call him up on the phone, he'll run to a flag in the house and recite it to you in no time-flat.
