Happy Birthday Shweet Baby!

Gwen had her first birthday today! We were at the Burr family reunion so she was surrounded by cousins (reunion pictures will be posted soon). Gwen has been the perfect baby. She has been my first baby to sit and play by herself and be happy! She gives me hope that babies can be enjoyable. I love her snaggle-tooth grin, her huge eyes with long curly eye-lashes, her chubby cheeks with dimples, her clapping, her scooting (my babies don't really do anything on time, so yes she is still scooting) and her sweet disposition. She is lucky to have two older brothers who adore her. Happy Birthday Winnie...we love you!

My boyfriend's back!

Christy came to town last Friday so Gwen and Merek (sp?) got to know each other a little better. All was going well until Merek grabbed a hold of Gwen's bow and snapped it in her eye! The girl is tough but she doesn't like her boyfriends rough! Maybe Boss would be a better pick? The kids had fun swimming and it was nice to get to talk to Christy. I'm not much of a phone person so we catch up when she visits.

Sleepover!

The boy's had a fun Friday night a couple weeks ago. Their cousin Brennen was sleeping over and we had the McBride boys over while Scott and Becky went to a Diamond Backs game. Jared made this "fort" the day before and they spent most of their time in there. Their night also consisted of sword play, DS, swimming and a movie. They all got along really well. It was fun to have them over before another school year starts.

"Jerry" got really excited when I wanted to take a picture of him. The kid cracks me up!

Gary's party

We all got together for Gary's birthday. Here are Gary and Sylvia with all the grand kids! As always Sylvia threw one heck of a party, complete with musical chairs and the bunny train (both a Burr family must). Someday I will get video of these partys and win the grand prize on AFV! Seriously HILARIOUS!

Happy B-day Nana!

Sarah, Sylvia, Linda and I were able to pick Nana up and take her to the one and only Wendy's for her birthday. We weren't being cheap, Wendy's is Nana's favorite! I don't blame her, who can resist a frosty?

Gwen and Lyvi being perfect little angels! (disregard that devious look in Gwen's eyes)

Yay Nana....Happy Birthday!

Mr. Bendy

A few weeks ago I had the privilege of watching Boss while Scott and Rachael went to California to do a mud run. Boss was such a pleasure and Briant missed him the second he was gone. Thanks for the bonding time Rach!

Lake Trip

Wednesday afternoon Dan invited Jared to go to the lake and was nice enough to let me and the boys tag along (thanks Sarah for watching Gwen). Briant and Max had a great time! They haven't been on a boat in a long time and really enjoyed it.

Notice Max's glasses, everyone on the boat gave him such a hard time but the little fella didn't care, he was cruisin in style!

Dustin was kind enough to take the boys on a little wake-skate ride. Briant is now determined to learn how to do it himself.

I think that this may have worn Dustin out a little.

Jared, out of focus, tearing it up!
