The Roarkies Have Arrived!!!!!!

We are so glad to finally have the Roarkies here with us for the summer! I know I am just now blogging this and it is about time for them to go home but here goes the trip thus far! We decided to have a BBQ to welcome the Roarkies here, to welcome my mom Jase and Weston back from there great Europe adventures and last but not least to celebrate Father's Day!

Some of the gang!

G-ma and E always cuddling!

My in her new shirt looking pretty sporting her shades!

Playing pirates! E has loved having his cousins back, even if it is just temporary!

All tuckered out from the party and jet lag! Dad, what's your excuse? Ha Ha! My dad falls asleep at just about every family gathering so I have made it a goal of mine to capture the moment each time.

This is how Jase looked most of the night!

(a very late) Happy Father's Day!!!!

Happy Father's Day Jeffrey! I am so happy that you are the father of our two beautiful kids! They don't get better then you (and my dad)! Thank you for all of your hard work with work and school and all of the projects around the house. Our lives are immensely better because you are here with us! Thanks for always taking the time to play with the kids. I love that you value the time that you get to spend with them and would pick them over anything for yourself at anytime. I love you very much! This is the most recent picture I have with you and the kids! We may have to work on that soon! Thanks again for being such a wonderful dad!

And to my other favorite Dad........Happy Father's Day! You are such an amazing person! I love how you are so giving with all of your time and talents! Thank you for all of your help and support over all of the years. I am proud to call you my Dad! Thanks for always taking the time to make us feel special and loved. I love how you take time to spend with the Grandkids as well. They love you too and we are all better people because of you! Thanks for everything! I love you very much!

Frazier Family Visit!

While Jeff's family was all in town for his brother's 40th B day bash we thought it would be fun to take some family photos. Here's us!

Here is the whole gang!

We also went to Lagoon while they were here and this is how the night ended!

Me and two of my sister-in-laws always like to ride this ride at the end of the night! Tradition!

Cutest little boat riders ever!

Ethan's first experience with bumper cars and lovin it!

Some of the gang taking a break!

Peace out ya'all!

E and cousin Coleyn flying high!

Fun with Friends

We had a BBQ with some high school friends two weekends ago. It was lots of fun! We really need to get together more often. I think summers are best too seeing that there are 10 adults and 12 (soon to be 13) kids in the group!

Ethan wanted to sit by himself away from tables.

The kids table, minus the kids of course!


Most of the adults!

Ethan and Mylie in the laundry basket. I heard them giggling and this is what I found!

They like to sit on Ethan's chair and read stories together.

Ethan and some of his neighbor friends for a mid-day movie party!

On to Idaho for a much needed vacation!

I know..........it's pretty sad when you look forward to a trip to Idaho to decorate the graves! This just goes to show you just how often we get out! It was a lot of fun just to do something different!

This is the coolest cememtary I have ever been in! I love all of the trees!

Mylie has never been to a cemetary before and thought it would be appropriate to dance on the grave!

Now she is smiling for a picture. Say cheese!

This is how Ethan insisted on getting his picture taken!

Kids in a tree! I can't ever get them both smiling so this is the best I got!

E in a tree! This tree is in Great Grandma and Great Grandpa's front yard and is famous for pictures!

Service project for Great Grandma Frazier. The boys created a flower bed and then planted bushes and flowers. Looks great everybody!

Fun in the pool at the hotel! We love to stay at the Holiday Inn in Pocatello. They have a huge swimming pool with a waterfall and a bear! The only downfall this trip was that the alarm clock was set the first morning and went off at about 4 am and then there was a wake up call the second morning at 4 am! (oh well, we got $20 dollars off a night for it:)

More catching up!

I love that they play together now! It's so cute! They both love to find boxes or bins to sit in together.

My cute little girl!

Another cute pic!

Ethan had his preschool graduation! These are his best little buddies from school. (Jaycee, Colby, and Camryn) Camryn even brought a special treat on Valentines day just for Ethan!

Taking Sis for a ride on the 4-wheeler! What cuties! I love when he's being a good big brother! (oh wait that's always right?)

Here are more preschool graduation pictures. I tried to put it with the other one but it wouldn't let me rearrange the order of the pictures for some reason. Oh well, no time to figure it out or start over! This is part of the performance. It was so cute because they started to sing the song and they were suppose to grab their sticks. Ethan went down to grab his stick and I guess it was not the right one. He looked so confused and kept bending down to look for it. Finally his little friend Colby next to him found one for him and saved the day! I was afraid we may have a melt down on stage!

The pledge of allegence!

Lot's of catching up to do!

Ethan's trying to make sure Grandma doesn't end up in the stream!

The boys playing at Grandma and Grandpa's house

The boys playing under the table. They did this for quite some time!

Grandpa with Great Grandma and Great Grand pa. So cute! We had had a dinner over at the Grandparents house and were glad the Great Grand parents could make it. Tayler sat on the couch and held Great Grandma's hand and Mylie counldn't stop giving them both kisses!

Mylie playing on the stairs. She spent most of the night here. She is such an easy going kid! Thanks My!

When I shower the kids like to lay on the floor together watching cartoons! How cute are they?
