Check it Out and We Don't Stop

Liam Bears All

After countless books about bears and hours of perfecting his bear growl, Liam was ready take the plunge and visit a real live grizzly for the very first time....

We were proud to see Liam fearlessly watch the bear from a far away distance. I bet next time we may be able to walk around the bench that was close by the sidewalk that surrounded the cage of that wimpy bear.

We saw the zoo keepers looking for a little lost monkey. Any ideas where he could be?

After that close encounter at the Zoo Liam enjoyed a relaxing fishing trip with Dad on the River. I think fishing is a little more on Liam's level. As soon as Liam had this less intimidating fish handed to him, he gave us this look which really does say it all.

Awesun

After 10 months of straight freezing weather, Liam, Julian and I decided to thaw out for a week where the sun always shines. We had a great time and want to give a shout out to all those who made it happen. You guys are great.

What's so awesome about this shot? Just the fact that Liam's actually standing on plastic grass. Hey, if it can't live you do the next best thing.
I personally enjoy watching all the people vacuum their lawns instead of watering them.

Liam loved hanging out with all his cousins and still wakes up and asks about them. Check out the hours of work my mom put in to making her grandbabies each their own blankets. Holla!

The best part of the week was seeing all the family. Our decision to bless Julian where our family is turned out so great because I got to see so many people I otherwise wouldn't have.
Thanks for coming. It was great to see you all.

Oh Snap!...Shot

I don't know how I got these shots of my boys... maybe it was my charm, good looks, quick wit, or the fact that I was jumping up and down shaking my head from side to side while making animal noises...

I think it was my charm.

Finally, No More Finals!

It was pretty weird feeling for us last Wednesday; after years of undergraduate and graduate tests, Tanner can now finally take a breather. The breather won't be long though...he jumps into his last year of school the week after the next doing rotations.

I helped him study the night before. We reviewed over 310 potential questions for the exam. Only 75 would actually be on the exam, and that was only 75% of the grade.

7 years of school work, a bachelor's degree, 1 marriage and 2 kids later; nice work Tan-man.
