Cousins Rock!

Last week, our Dennison cousins came to visit,
all the way from Utah.

We all had a great time and played hard all week.

Dutch oven dinners...

Bonfires with s'mores and starbursts,
BB Guns and fireworks...
(Can we say rednecks?!)

Playing with the puppies, going to the movies, swimming...

Riding the four wheelers in the fields...

A LOT of four-wheeling!

Double dates for the boys and parents...
Lizzie joined us a LOT (we love her too!)

The girls went to the local dairy TWICE!
Must have been the boys working there...
maybe it was the flavored milks...right?

We went sightseeing...
the kids all tried to lick their own elbows...

Just because Lizzie could do it, ha!

What a crazy crew...
We missed them the minute they left to go home.

21 Years

21 years ago, I fell in love...

Today, we celebrate those 21 years together

Happy Anniversary Eric...I love you

Our New Babies

Meet Ginger and Bella...
Born April 23, 2010

Playful, adorable, Golden Retriever puppies...

Daniel and Ginger

Andrea and Bella

Bella giving Andrea some puppy love...she is so sweet.

Michael and Ginger
Injured when she was born, the smallest of the litter...a larger dog bit her on the lip. She started out her life being called "split-lip" We think Ginger suits her better.

We're in love with these girls...
Welcome to the family!

Give Me Some Tots

My boys love this very silly movie called "Napolean Dynamite". They like to act out what we call the tater tot scene...I caught it on video tape (press play):



Oh my heck, so funny...I love these rascals!

That's How We MOW

New mower, protective ear muffs = happy 7 year old.

We love every inch of our yard,

and there's a LOT to mow.

Using the mower and the tractor at the same time...

It takes 3-4 hours to get the whole job done.

Andrea uses it as an opportunity to catch some rays.

So proud of a job well done...That's how we mow!

Rock and Roll

Out here in the country...

It's pretty big excitement for the day...

to have one of these in your yard.

In the country, rocks are EVERYWHERE...

The roads, the driveways...EVERYWHERE!

Two truckloads of rock later...

We've joined the country folk...

Loving our new ROCK driveways!

Now when it rains, we don't have to walk or drive in the mud...ROCK AND ROLL!!!

Ryan and Lizzie - Prom

This is Ryan and Lizzie...
Prom - April 2010

My son looks so handsome and she is absolutely beautiful.

These two always have fun and Prom was no exception.

So happy, so cute...I love 'em!

This was part of their group date. They played laser tag in the afternoon, went to dinner, the dance and then the after party, a fun group of kids.

I'm telling ya, it's so hard to believe that Ryan's Dad is old enough to be sending him to his last High School Prom. Love you Ryan.
