We were so lucky to have Gramma & PawPaw drive down for a 10 day visit. For Brian and I it wasn't nearly enough time to really see them, because 2 days after they arrived we snuck off and left them with Nolan so that we could take a cruise (more on that in posts to come)!! Apparently, it wasn't nearly enough time for Nolan either, because he was VERY distraught when G&G left. Regardless, we had a wonderful visit and couldn't be more grateful to them for visiting and for spoiling us and taking care of Nolan.
This is a going away lunch that Brian's office gave him. He's been in his position in JDAM for 2 years and is now moving to be a program manager in a different program, SDB1 (Small Diameter Bomb). His office had some humorous and nice things to say about Brian and although it wasn't planned this way, it was awesome that his parents were able to be there and see Brian get acknowledged for his hard work.
Here's the man of the hour, with Nolan, eating ice cream out of a bowl that was (literally) as big as his head:
G&G at lunch:
Since the weather was gorgeous and it's that time of year again, we took Nolan to pick strawberries. We met Cheyna and Abby there and the kids had so much fun. They were much more interested in eating the strawberries than putting them in the basket, but that's okay, they had fun and we still brought home plenty of yummy berries.

Daddy and Nolan, whose chowing down on a strawberry!This is a video clip of Nolan RIGHT after Gramma & PawPaw left. It was the first time in almost a week that he didn't get to get in the car with them and as you'll see, he was very upset. By the time I grabbed the camera, most of the real tears were gone. This isn't the best lighting, but you can still get the idea, it was soooo sad.

I am a momma and a wife. I stay at home raising our three little guys.
Although I always saw myself as having lots of little girls in dresses and curls, I relish and feel super blessed to be the mommy to all boys.
No day is like the next and my ability to control situations is long gone. This blog is my life scrapbook!
Nolan is our favorite man-child. He's the hilarious teenager who loves to pull pranks, but gets the most pleasure out of pranking the same woman who birthed him.
Joseph is a creative, smart, huggable boy who is the unofficial middle kid. He loves telling his Momma she's beautiful on a daily basis.
Danny isn't really the youngest, but somehow we all think of him as the youngest. He's faced his share of medical trials, but refuses to let that get him down and charges forward with a smile on his face.
Brian is my husband of 17 years. He won me over by making me late night egg and cheese sandwiches. He still makes me swoon by making me late night snacks when we watch TV after the kids are in bed.
