Together Again!

Here's to Mom and Dad who are together again after more than three long months! Yay! Thanks for sacrificing for our family. Welcome home to Brenda and baby Brynlee. We are so glad you are still with us! We love you so much.

Abbie

 

Abbie has a thing about shoes. Whenever we have friends or cousins over to play or visit, she sizes them up quickly to decide if they are worth a little effort. Then she picks the right time to make her move. (Like when they decide to take off their shoes to jump on the tramp or play in the sandbox.) Then she quietly descends on the forgotten treasures... flip flops, high heels, cowgirl boots, sparkly sandals, light-ups,... If they strap or tie to feet in any way, they are game. This has been the case from the beginning. High heels are by far the most sought after. I have been given a lesson in how to categorize them... If they make a "click" when you walk on the hardwood, they qualify. (This excludes clogs and thick soled shoes that clomp instead of click.) Occasionally we have to test them out on the floor before they can be donned for the day.
Yesterday we came home to find a pair of hand me down shoes at our door for her. She came running in to show Gary with the words..." DAD, THESE ARE FRICKIN RETARTED COOL SHOES!"
I guess they qualified!

The summer begins!

I've never seen so much wildlife in Yellowstone! Amazing!

 

 

 

 

Memorial Day (Kid's Day for the Bevan and Ashby kids!)

Yellowstone!

 

Well, I guess it's about time that I did something about this blog. This is a picture at Yellowstone this week during our family reunion! (We are missing Bryan and Gary.)

Abbie, Jacob and Eric

 
 
 

Eric and Jacob really enjoyed the soccer season this year. We have a huge Easter egg hunt at our house every year and invite everyone we know. It's been such a fun tradition.

The only thing that is unusual about this picture is that it's not on the living room floor.
