Tyson and Gina

My baby brother did it! He tied the knot! We attended the wedding of the Summer this past weekend and had a blast.

 

My brother looked so handsome and was unbelievably calm. I truly believe when you have found the one, your true love...your heart just knows it. Uncle Tyson wanted all of the nephews to be a part of his special day. Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Randy purchased purple Vans and purple bow ties for all of the boys to wear. They looked awesome and felt so LOVED to be so included in their big day.

The venue and the view were amazing! The Gustavson's home/yard overlooks the Bay Area. On a clear day, you can see San Francisco.  Lots of photos were snapped and here are just  a few of my favorites !

The boys had a blast dancing the night away! I have decided we need more dance parties!

 

The Shore cousins! So thankful for those cousins who chose to come and show their love for Tyson and Gina! It meant the world to them and to our entire family!

Love this photo that I snapped of my parents! My Mom worked so hard on the wedding. All of the Sandy touches were wonderful!

The beautiful bride and groom. They looked wonderful and so happy!

 

So very Tyson and so very, Gina!

Another shot of the cousins! They so love being together. I love this shot for many reasons but I love how both, Garrett and Brody's arms are wrapped around their oldest cousin, Malakai!

 

 

My brother Brandon and I. He gave a great toast!

My siblings and the happy bride and groom. We are all so happy for Tyson and Gina!

 

Their get away car. Super fun tradition. Uncle Rick has driven the Davis kids and spouses away from their reception in his 1949 Woody!

 

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Tyson Davis!

June 2013

I have given up on the thought of updating our lives, in detail since May. The best I can do is highlight our months! June was a busy month, with with lots of milestones and memories for all.

 Garrett's team made it to the AAA Fun fest championship game. they did not win but the ride was still FUN and let them play some extra games. He was on a great team with awesome coaches.

 Brody finished his 1st t-ball season. He had a blast and made new friends.

 Our little league season ended with a movie night on field 4. We watched Sand Lot under the stars.

 Tanner headed out with the  Scouts for a week long trip. They kayaked down the Trinity River.

 Brody enjoyed his very first swim lessons. He is now a Marlin!

 Garrett turned 9 on June 11th. He was showered with fun presents and a day all about him!

 We headed down the the Bay Area to celebrate my cousin, Kerstin's 40th birthday! I swear we are still 18 and going to college together.

 Father's Day! We are so lucky to have this guy in our lives. He is our EVERYTHING!!!

 The annual ALL STAR hair dying party. Carter is blond again!

 Garrett gets his braces off. His dentist sent him home with a bag of treats that he had to avoid while wearing his braces.

End of the year teacher gifts. We love our teachers.

 Tanner received some awards at a school awards night(straight A's, PE, and WEBB). It was a by invitation event.

 Last days of kindergarten! They enjoyed a picnic in the park. Brody made some new, fun friends this year!

 Tanner graduates from middle school.We are SO proud of him. He worked hard, took advanced math and English classes and even pulled straight A's his entire 8th grade year.

Garrett and friends from his class, on the last day of school. He had an awesome 3rd grade year. Huge strides for this boy! 

It was a month filled with plenty of events/activities and we wouldn't have it an other way. 

Okay, who am I kidding? I would have loved a nap...or two !

Bunko

It was my turn to host Bunko this month. It was one of those rare months that all of us were able to make it!

We had fun visiting, eating, trying new recipes, lots of catching up, yelling for Morty, and laughing! Love these ladies. They are wonderful, kind, loving, happy, willing to serve and FUN! I am so lucky and thankful to call each one of them a friend of mine!

p.s. I love these photos. John was our photographer. He just kept snapping photos. He didn't give us the "123...smile" or say "cheese" warnings...he just snapped away. I love how they turned out!

The actual birthday

Today is the day! Brody is officially 6 years old. We started his day(tradition) with doughnuts and the opening of his birthday gifts. He was up at the crack of dawn, ready to celebrate!

 

 He found his bedroom door loaded with fun treats and surprises.

He headed to school. He got to wear the birthday crown and be the line leader. He took 2 dozen plus 2 doughnuts to share with his friends and teachers.

After school, I picked up Brody and his pal, Sam. Brody wanted to go to McDonald's for lunch and so we did! They had fun playing in/on the new play structure.

His birthday evening was filled with two baseball games. One of his own and Carter Padres team had a game. He was thrilled to have a hot dog meal deal for his birthday dinner. He is always an easy guy to please...especially at the ball park.  After the ball games. we had cake and ice cream at home and celebrated Brody!

Happy 6th Birthday! We sure do love you!
