Cub Scouts!

While we were in San Marcos, we got to go to a special Cub Scout meeting for Trent. He is moving on to Boy Scouts and they did a whole ceremony for him! We were so excited to be a part of it. That's him on the right with Dave and April. Yay Trent! He tried to play it cool, but we were all so excited for him!

Jared also got some of his rewards. He got so many that I can't remember what they all were, but we were excited for him too!!! GOOO Jared! He is the one on the right of the 3.

Here is his audience! Maybe Raleigh was jealous! Trevor and I were kidless for a while so we sat in a separate row.

Great Grandma Sudduth

On the last day that Trevor worked at my Grandma's house the kids and I tagged along. We had so much fun playing and visiting! Here are the kids reading with their Great Grandma!

Pedicures!

My sister's friend, Marette, came over to give us pedicures and my dad even did it!!!!!!!

Audrey Update

Well, after all of this traveling, Audrey has made some major changes. She has officially stopped nursing, cut two more teeth (on the sides up top) and hasn't taken a morning nap since we left CA. I guess she figured she is a big girl now.

I took her to Toddler Storytime and she had fun. She is done with Baby Storytime. Raleigh is in the Preschool Storytime, but I still wanted him to go to the Toddler Time since his friends were there. He was thrilled to see them (and I was thrilled to see my friends too)! Audrey even sat next to Raleigh during the stories. It was so cute, I wish I had taken a picture!

Anyway, off to bed! I am tired of being tired!

Great Grandpa

My Great Grandpa just passed away and he will be terribly missed. He was an inspiration to me. He lived 95 years and he had a very full life. He was able to live to meet great great grandchildren and show them the unconditional love he gave all of us. I will always remember how he took the time to save all of the artwork/letters/cards that we sent him. I was priviledged enough to be able to call him a couple of days before he passed. My Aunt Nancy told us that he wasn't answering his phone anymore but that he did listen to his messages. I decided that I had better call and tell him how much I loved him. To my surprise, he answered the phone! The call meant more to me than I can ever explain. Just to hear him call me "doll" one last time will be something that will carry me through this tough time. I know he is up there giving my Grandpa a big hug right now, and I hope they are enjoying their new time together. They were great men who loved their families like their was no one else in the world. They always made us feel like we were exceptional people and I think that is what drove me to medical school. Their encouragment made me feel like I was invincible. My Great Grandpa met a lot of great people, but I think people will remember him most for how he made them feel. I am sure that he had his faults since he was human, although I never saw any of them. So to me, he was superhuman. I love you Great Granpa! I bet you are giving a big kiss to Great Grandma and Grandpa! You have meant the world to me and I feel as though a piece of you will always be with me. You are, after all, the reason that I gave Raleigh your middle name. I hope that we can all grow up to be as beautiful of people as you were!

The Dads!

This picture turned out SO good! Sam and I are lucky girls!!!!

A BIG Birthday Party

We went to a HUGE Birthday Party for lots of people (including me) at my cousin Lisa's house. The kids had a blast!!!!

Here is Raleigh in the pool... Audrey is such a cutie! Look at her cute expression!

This was where the tons of presents were opened...

Raleigh and Audrey had fun watching! Emma even kept sharing her gifts with Audrey! It was really nice of her!

Here is Raleigh showing off all of the stuff he picked up from the pinata! WOWIE!

Here is Jill giving Audrey a bag because Audrey wanted to join in. She picked up a few things and put them in the bag. She caught on quick!

Here is Grandma Judy and Audrey. My mom watched Audrey a lot! Thanks mom!!!!!! I sat back and chowed on chips and dip while my mom was with Audrey and Cris was with Raleigh!

These kids are like animals! It was so cute to see them all involved!

Here they are getting ready for the Pinata!

Playing at Great Grandma Sudduth's

Here are the kids playing with some of the toys that I used to play with at my Grandma's house. Of course there are some newer fancier toys, but some of the old ones are still hanging on!

Happy 4th of July!

Trevor wore a special shirt to celebrate the 4th of July! The puppy and kitty look sad! I guess that is why they were on sale for $5!

Great Grandad and Great Grandma's House

We arrived in Utah on the night of the 4th of July and we were pooped. Grandma Pam took us to see some fireworks and then we crashed out.

Then, we went to go visit Great Grandma and Great Grandad Brown.

Here is Raleigh jumping/dancing with Grandma. I love this picture! And here is Audrey joining in! She was clapping and trying to jump!

Here is the group shot...Trevor, Me, Grandad, Grandma, Pam, Audrey, Raleigh, Alisha.

This is us getting ready for the group shot! Audrey is a runner!

They are so cute!!!!!!

Hiking in Utah

Trevor's mom took us hiking by her house. It was a really cool trail and we got to go see the water. We lost one of Audrey's shoes though (in the car) and had to cut our hike short. Kids make things a little more complicated. We still had fun and enjoyed walking over the bridge, seeing the water and being in the hills! Raleigh is so cute!!!

Checking out the water. Raleigh was throwing sticks in it.

Our Hotel Room In Boise

We got an awesome hotel room for super cheap in Boise. We were super excited! The kids loved it, but we all crashed out super early because we were exhausted from driving! This is a picture from after we made ourselves comfy, so you don't get the full effect, but it was really cool!

This was Raleigh's bed, but he got scared and ended up sleeping with us.

Here is Audrey surfing on the baggage rack thing. I have a picture of Raleigh on one when we were in Medford when he was a baby.

From Good to Bad

It's amazing how a 3 1/2 year old can go from good to bad in an instant.

Here he is being good....

And here he is being naughty....(that is mud that he thre at the house)

Crashing Out!

Audrey was so tired that she couldn't wait for me to take her up for her nap. She crashed out on our kitchen floor!
