Newest Chicago Bear

This is really just Staley wearing Payton's old jersey, not a real player. LOL

Staley our crazy puppy keeps growing..

When we first got Staley he was so small, and mellow. He was sucha sweet puppy.

He started to get bigger and more active and still a great dog we love him so much, he also house trained really fast which I am thankful for.

He is alot bigger now and still a great dog and cuddles when he wants to, BUT he gets crazy hyper and always tries to get what ever food that is on the counter or table and he loves to try to chew on everything including people. He makes us laugh like crazy though and he LOVES us.

OOPS he got caught trying to get on the table, but look how cute he is.

Touchdown!

Payton has started flag football, and today he had a scoop and score touchdown, someone had fumbled the ball and he ran and got it and made a touchdown! It didnt count but he doesnt know that and he was so proud of himself!

For the most part Payton has fun but he sure wishes that it was real tackle football, sometimes we have to remind him that it is not.

These are not great action pictures, I think I need to hire my sister in law Jenn to get some better close ups and action shots, lol.

Jordan is 15 years old!

Today we celebrated Jordan's 15th birthday! It was actually on the 7th but we were out of town. He is such a great kid, I am so glad that he is mine. This picture below is one I found that I love, it was when he was 3 and it was the first time at Yearns camping and we were not there very long and he was covered in dirt.

Today was his cousin Jonas's birthday he turned 2. It is funny that their birthdays are so close and their names both start with J and Jordan is the oldest boy on Jared's side of the family and Jonas is the youngest. Happy Birthday Jonas! Birthday boys in the dog crate(cute or weird?).

3 of his cute little girl cousins were in the back playing baseball, and then he opened presents. He is hard to buy for so he got alot of money(which he loves).

We had cake and ice cream which Payton and Cade loved wearing.

And the cute pregnant twins came to show off their bumps.

Happy Birthday Jordan! We Love You!!!

Duncan Dental goes to Mexico

Dr. Duncan took all of his staff and their spouses to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. It was so much fun, Jared and I have never been there and we cant wait to go back. Jared and Dr. Duncan made a new friend as you can see.


The resort and the beaches were awesome ans so relaxing, there were huge iguanas everywhere, they were so cool. One of the excursions we went on was called Tulum Extreme. We went snorkleing in a Cenote(underground cave), we repelled, zip lined and then went to see the Tulum ruins. It was a blast!



The entertainment at nights was a little different, but we had fun participating in some of the games, and it was still fun to watch. We woke up one morning to see the sun rise and it was so beautiful(thank you Jared for making me wake up).

While we were gone we missed the boys like crazy, they stayed with Jared's parents and they had our dog too, I am sure they had their hands full. The boys had a great time with them though. When we got home our they had decorated our house, it was so cute. When we went in the house they had brought everything back and the boys were sleeping on the floor waiting for us. Of course we had to wake them up to give them their souvineirs.


It is always nice to be home even though we had a great time in Mexico. Thank you Rob and Dawn for watching the boys and Staley. And thank you Dr. Duncan for the awesome trip!
