Myrtle Beach Trip

Bryan and Jason took a camping/hiking trip in the mountains, so Angela, the kids and I decided to spend a couple of nights in Myrtle Beach. We had a really good time and it helped to pass the time while our "men" were gone! It was a little cold and rainy the second day, but we went to the indoor pool and still had a good time together! Here are a few pictures from our weekend.

I think Melia was a little tired!?!?

Bryce lost his second front tooth! He was sooooooo excited!

They were really good and we had a great time together!

Melia Turns Two......

or at least she did on October 1st! Here are a few pictures from Melia's birthday party. She picked "Dora" for her theme and we had a really good time!

This is actually on her birthday before she went to her first Puggles class! She loves Puggles and was so excited!

Here are all three kids, ready for AWANA! Bryce is in Sparks, Brant is in Cubbies and Melia is now in Puggles!

Melia getting ready for her big party!

SO SILLY!

Me, trying to get a picture of all three of them!

I don't think they all ever look the same direction at the same time! Oh well!

Bryce's Birthday (8/18)

Okay, so Bryce's birthday was a month ago, but I am just now putting up pictures. I really would like to become more consistent with my blogging. I am just going to have to figure out a better schedule or something!

For his birthday, this year, we let him invite three friends over to eat dinner, go bowling, go to Pelican's for a snowball, spend the night and go to church the next day! He picked Mitchell, Jarred and Logan. They had so much fun together and were really good!

After we ate at Ragazzi's we went to Buffaloe Lanes for some bowling and game room time!

Check Bryce out!

Look at Mitchell's form!

Bryce just found out that he was getting a Wii from Mema!

This is Bryce on the morning of his birthday. We got him a new study Bible.


This is the cookie cake that he wanted for his birthday at school. Mrs. Lisa made it, and it was REALLY good!
