Family

We had some pictures taken of Lexi and Mark before Lexi left town. Well most of you know our photographer Kelly, but man is she like the kid-whisperer or what? I mean....Lexi and Mark don't hold still or pose for anyone! They are typical toddlers but she worked some sort of magic with them...we can't wait to see her proofs!



This is Mark flirting. See his little head tilt? I think he's saying, "Hi Ms. Kelly."

She even taught them how to play ring around the rosie!!!

Have you ever seen two happier grandparents?

More pics from the 4th...Britton, Leyton, and Mark.

Mark and Lexi

So after all the toy stealing, hair-pulling, screaming, etc...they really do love each other! This is Mark attempting to kiss Lexi

Like I said earlier we had a family reunion a couple weeks ago at MarVal campgrounds in Gore, Ok. Here is an attempt at a group photo of what was left of my most immediate family. There were sooooo many people there I didn't know. I think there were about 200 people there.

Our new lawn man

Aunt Brenda bought Mark a bubble lwan mower and guess who loves mowing the lawn now? We thought these pics were just too cute. And Mark insists on parking his mower right next to daddys. Oh and he prefers not to mow the lawn alone, so sometimes John has to go prance around the front yard with his lawn mower too. Its pretty funny.

So have you ever forgotten about some potatos you bought? I bet you haven't forgotten about them for as long as I did. That, or I just have the perfect climate in my pantry for a potato.

I can't resist...

...posting this picture!

We went to my family reunion 2 weeks ago and John did a little trout fishing. I will tell you that he LOVES fishing and has probably always thought he looked cool, or at least like a serious fisherman, until he saw this picture!! Hee..hee.

I realized I haven't posted anything from the 4th of July yet. John and PJ said they were going to set off a few fireworks "for Britton" but really....who seems to be enthralled with the roman candles? Britton? I don't think so!

Here you can see the gallery. Brandee, Tim, and Lexi, Jennifer and Britton, Me and Mark, Lisa and Leyton. We watched jaw-dropping fireworks like worms and smoke bombs! It really was pretty g-rated until Tom got there and shot a roman candle at PJ which made 1) John DIE laughing and 2) PJ dance like a mexican jumping bean (no pun intended!!ha) and 3)PJ got out the mother of all roman candles...see below.

ok so maybe its not the best picture and you can't even tell how big the thing is but I was laughing so hard it was hard to take the picture.

First thing in the morning on the fourth of July I dressed Mark in his new t-shirt and tried to make him pose in front of the fireplace...I love when his hair is freshly combed!
