Now that Summer is over...


we actually have time to BLOG. Ok, well I have to admit, between Facebook, the blog, and everything in between, I just can't seem to fit it all in...so here's our summer (in an abbreviated form if you will). So, we basically spent the entire summer in Lake Havasu. It definitely made a huge difference having a house to stay in out there. We came home a lot on the weekends to check on all of our furry family members, and yes Cowboy got to go at times also. All in all we had a wonderful summer. No one even got a sunburn! Let's see....what else is new???? Ryan gave up the binkie! The day after daddy's birthday (yes, Steven turned 34 this summer) Ryan decided it'd be OK to be a "big boy" and give them up. I kept them around the house for about a week (until I knew we were completely safe). He's done VERY well. At times (especially in the car) I MISS THE BINKIE! But I'm being a big girl! Time is flying by. I can't believe how smart our little boy is and how much he teaches us everyday. We never realized we could love another person as much as we love him. Here's a few pictures from our summer.

The famous "pouty" lip. Where'd he learn that?

Helping "clean" the garage.

Just the boys!

I must say... the summer is way to short.. you guys look like you enjoyed every moment of it. Thanks for updating the blog... I think everyone has put blogging on the back burner and become facebook addicts. Congrats to Ryry for being such a little man to give up the bink! Maybe he needs to come visit and show Jennah how to do it!

Hey Steve & Deb,

I've yet to put together a Facebook account! Hell, I can't even keep up with blogger.com. I think I need a decent Hollywood-style headshot first for my Facebook profile. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to hang out with y'all during your summer vaca in LH!
