Proud Uncle Zachy

Their yummy candy bar- cute idea

Throw him in the ditch

Coley and Juliana, Cole's saying: "Zach we'll catch ya later"

The photographer was telling them to crunch (you know lean in and bend a little)well Jared wasn't hip to the lingo so notice his "crunching"

Us with the newlyweds

To top the day off the top of the cake went all over Zach's face.
Welcome to the family Juliana- you already fit in perfectly
So happy for the two of you!

Saddle up Coley

Hey Hadley- we're at the rodeo for a night of fun

Here's the Morris gang


Cole and Hadley had matching tops from Grandma & Grandpa

Cole loves animals, especially horses, so it wasn't a shocker that he loves rodeos. He would wave his hands like the cowboys, clap, and just stare at them...meaning the horses they were doing all the work afterall

Happy Birthday Korey!!!

Hey Ava help me wish your mama a Happy Birthday! Jared & I packed up Cole and drove to Utah this weekend to surprise my sister who just moved there from California.

It's time for a yummy birthday BBQ- thanks Mary & Greg

Chance and Hadley

Make a wish...and my what a beautiful cake

Who could wish for anything more than this cute little family

My favorite part of this picture... Reidy's finger

Hope you had a wonderful birthday surprise! We sure loved only driving a few hours to see you and getting to spend time with you and the kiddos. Thanks Josh for all the help keeping a secret. I couldn't ask for better sister- who is a great example and friend. Happy Birthday- love ya!!!

Hot Weather equals SWIM TIME!!!

My little pirates- arrghhh!



Thanks Greg & Mary, Korey & Josh, Chance & Laura for a awesome weekend!

PS: there was a lifeguard on duty

How to plan the perfect date according to Cole

First: get advice from dad on how to court a lady...

Make sure you look your best to impress her...

Pick her up in a sweet ride...

Don't be late...

Tell her how beautiful she is...

Play some romantic music...

Take her to your favorite spot...Cabela's. Until mom will let me take a girl out I'll settle for a Daddy play-date at Cabela's :)

Happy 4th of July!

The 4th of July was a fun celebration with our little guy. First we went to the parade with Wendy & Will. Cole's favorite part were the horses- he would squeal and squirm when they came by. He was also quite popular- people in the parade would pass up everyone else and personally hand him a flag, candy, even a tennis ball. One part that Jared & I liked about the parade were the BMX bikers. They had a ramp set up on a trailer and would do tricks in the air off it. After the parade we went to Will's for a BBQ- it was delish! Later we headed out to see the fireworks- "Idaho Falls has the biggest firework display west of the Mississippi." Cole watched about half of them and then went to bed. All in all it was a great day!



Here's one BMX rider- we saw him miss his landing after this one- ouch!


The parade was just a little too long for this boy

Will had this old little fire truck and it was just the right size for Cole

It didn't take long for Cole to figure out to work the bell


Cole thought sitting in the truck was the coolest thing- he loves when daddy lets him drive it too :)
