Brady & Daddy's 1st Fishing Trip


Clearly a fan of Catch & Release...

Summer Fun with Friends!

Well, our best pals, The Johnsons, were out to visit for 2 weeks & boy did we have some fun! I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted, but we spent most (all) of our time outside, enjoying the awesome weather...went swimming at my folks' house & Riverside CC, took the kids on long walks, introduced Maddy to "Brady's House of Bounce" in our backyard & hit up Music on Main...whew! I had so much fun with Jenny & we absolutely LOVE watching her & Nick as parents.
We also had a super fun visit from our good friend, Erin Coffey (now Rinabarger!) She came out for a quick visit & we took her up to the lake & she also took some A-M-A-Z-I-N-G photos of the kids and our family! Thanks for coming to visit, Coff~we had a blast!


Brady looks less than enthused, but they were loving it in there together

Cody on the 4th!!

I have to say, there is nothing more patriotic than Cody, WY on the 4th of July. Period. It was so much fun to visit Grammy & Grampy & Brady absolutely LOVED the parade & rodeo. Here are lots of pics from the weekend!

Uncle EJ's Visit!

Uncle EJ, his awesome girlfriend, Jenee & her family came out for a visit the week before the 4th. We had so much fun with them & it was a total blast showing the Witherspoons the Big Sky Country! Here are some pictures from their time here~

Not to get into too much detail, but when we picked everybody up from the airport, my little daughter had a MAJOR blowout & ended up ruining the cute little outfit she was in...here we are in her fresh diaper & a borrowed jacket from Mrs. Witherspoon
