Summer Vacation 2013

 

Disney Cruise!!!!!!

 

 

Can you feel the excitement?!?

 

 Ready to find our rooms...

 

 

It was funny how almost everyone just walked right through the room, to the balcony, to see the water.

 

Oh, the excitement!

 

 

The girls were already anxious to get swimming!

 

One of our rooms.

 

Now for a little exploring before send off.

 

 

 

Ready to sail!

 

 

 

Now that we're sailing...let's eat!  (And eat we did...all week!)

 



 

Meet our servers, Rakesh and Kelly!  We love them!

 

Even the ketchup is Mickey!

 

Now you see it...

 

Now you don't!  :)

Thanks Grandpa...this is the best!  :)

 

More excitement to come...

                                     

A Master?

On May 15, 2013 Layne did it!  He received the degree of Master of Business Administration!  A very happy day!  So proud of him!  :) 

 

 

Best Visit Ever - 2013!

 

In May, we were very blessed to have a visit from my Uncle Chuck and Aunt Linda all the way from Washington state and my Uncle John and Aunt Patty from Ohio.  It was the best time ever!

 

Karlee just loves Uncle Chuck!  Words cannot describe her excitement that they were at our house!  :)

 

I love this picture of my dad fixing Kavan up before church.  He probably would have shined his shoes next!  :)

At church, Kyler was ordained as a Teacher.  It was really cool to have so much family with us!

My Uncle John and Uncle Chuck - I love them!

A little "jam session."

Consulting?

A Happy Birthday celebration for Kirk, Kyler and Dad!

It doesn't get much better than this... birthday wishes and lots of yummy treats!

Mitchell's, Burgy's and Phillips'  - so fun!!

My dad's birthday wish came true...

Kool-aid and Country Time lemonade! :)

Here we are...

I wasn't sure Karlee would let go!

Just cute!

After Karlee finally let go of Uncle Chuck, they traveled to Savannah for a couple days.  My dad surprised them with a dinner at Paula Dean's.  So fun!

This was such a fun weekend!  I can't tell you how blessed we all felt and how thankful we all were to have Chuck and Linda with us!  A truly great family memory!  I insist that we do it again!  :)

Kyler's Birthday 2013

So, Kyler turns 14!  And may I say that 14 is such a fun age... church dances, youth conference, crazy huge growth spurts - which make you taller than mom - and facial hair, what?!?

 

His birthday collided with baseball, so a quick and happy celebration we had...

Cheesecake...

He loves cheesecake and was so excited to finally be able to have a piece as we made him wait alllllllll day!  :)

Notice his arm span... his arm span is more than his height!

Love that smile!

He likes purple, wears colored jeans, refs soccer, plays baseball, can solve a Rubik's cube (sometimes under a minute), is learning the guitar bit by bit, and loves flying RC airplanes.
