Baby Gavin and Ty Guy

My cousin's boys Tyler and Gavin ALWAYS make my day better. If I had a long day of class or am feeling a little homesick these boys cheer me right up. Josh and I see them quite often since my cousin Kenzi and her husband Brandon (Josh's Bromance) are just a few minutes away. Tyler and Gavin both have birthdays in August, Gavin will be 1 and Tyler will be 3! Such cute ages. We are so lucky to have family close- especially with such adorable boys!

Shopping at Nordstrom's, those headbands were larger than life!

Daddy decided to give Tyler a BUZZ cut- I think Dad was the only one who loved it- Mom said NEVER AGAIN! At least he is a boy, it grows back, and he is still cute!

Please notice the tuft of hair that Tyler is grasping onto, he was very concerned when it was blowing off the patio!

Josh loves the boys too... He helps watch them and put them to bed, I even got him to change Gav's diaper. What a great daddy he is going to be some day.

Gavin also got a haircut that day...it was his first, so dad was not allowed to do it. But all his little baby curls were cut off...

TOO CUTE!

TUXEDOs are HOT

Sarah and Greg came to visit us in Logan right before we came to Kansas. When they stayed over they had the pleasure of seeing my hot Tux shirt I often wear to sleep; the one Josh detests and has hidden from me more than once when he does laundry. Well Sar thought it was hilarious. Since my camera battery was dead Sar said she would e-mail her pics to me....I just got the pics and to my surprise, Sar had found a sweet Tux shirt herself. Ha Ha Ha- you made my day!

Sar was so thoughtful to get me this KU shirt from the PINK college line at VS before I left for school. The funny thing is I bought it right when it went on SALE. So now Sar has one to wear and think of me while I am at KU. Thanks Sar you are so sweet!

We miss our fam!

Josh and I were blessed to have his family living so close to us in Logan! We miss them more everyday. Before we left for Kansas, we had pictures taken on Memorial Day with Cheryl's side of the family. The pictures turned out pretty good....

Happy Father's Day!!

Just wanted to wish the two best dads (Tim and Jeff) a Happy Fathers Day from far away Kansas! We wish we could be with you. We are very grateful for all you both do for Josh and I.

You have always been there for me dad, and I can't thank you enough for that. You're the best gleeker, you could be compatible with Chef Emeril, and your jokes are pretty dang sweet!

Jeff, I know how much Josh looks up to you for being such a great father. I appreciate your example as well, and for always making me feel a part of the family!

We hope your day is full of joy and love. We will be thinking of you! Thanks again! We love you! XoXo

YOU CALL THIS A CONE?

Josh was at the store the other day and I asked him to pick up some ice cream cones...Well when I went to open the box we had a pretty good laugh. The smallest cones we had EVER seen is what he purchased! We just could not stop laughing at the size of these dinky things! Yes they do say "KIDS CONES," but to his defense... ALL cones are really for kids right? The box says in very small print "actual size," well they were not kidding!

Artists For a Day...

Josh and I have some wall space we need to fill in our new Kansas apartment...but not a lot of extra money. So Josh came up with this brilliant idea to make our own art. Since we are far from artists he said, "We can just do it abstract." I had a little melt down at Micheal's saying it was going to look stupid and waste our money. Josh, always being the sensible one, convinced me it would look great. He just really wanted to paint secretly because he kept saying how fun it would be. They turned out pretty good. An afternoon of fun and two new paintings for under 20 bucks! You can tell us what you think, be honest!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy TIM DAWG!

This is why I love my dad so much!! He is always a goof...either cracking jokes, teasing, gleeking, or just being a dork (case in point in picture above). It is basically impossible to be upset around my dad- even when you are mad he will find a way to make me smile...ALWAYS. He has taught our family to have a great sense of humor...

My dad is one of the most genuine people I know. He works hard in all that he does, setting a great example to those who get to be around him. Thanks for all you do!
It's hard to be around my dad and not be happy! Hope yo have a wonderful day Dad, I love you!
