3 Cheers.

Cheers to the "flag blue and white."

Cheers to another Tehachapi 4th of July!!

Hip, hip, hooray for small town parades!

White fire engines hold a special place in our parade hearts.

Cheers to being with Cait on Independence Day for like the 3rd year in a row!

(Don't quote me. I didn't do my research on that one.)

Boo on the lifeguard float and their water guns.

Sorry Bennett, apparently being a little baby didn't help our case like we thought it would.

Squirted you right in the face. Dummies. 

He loves his Papa. 

Proud American parade junkies.

Como te llama?

Cheers to sleepy babies that sleep during festivals.

Tehachapi was the perfect place to celebrate this year

 because we were invited to Kyle's fire station for the first time!

Proud. So very proud.

Cheers to another memorable 4th of July.

Boom boom boom. Boom. Boom.

June Going-Ons.

Oh sweet summer. You were so great to us.

Let's just take a looksy at what was going on 

while the memories, and heat, still linger...

There was that one week we were way over 100 degress...

We pulled down the blinds and locked ourselves inside.

Brothers bonded over Dinosaur Train.

And probably hair product.

Graham and Kyle met Uncle Zach for a birthday present Dodger game.

Handsome smiles, even when the stands were empty...and the boys were 13 games back.

(Take note: Emphasis on WERE)

One Sunday in June, on the way home from church, 

we told Graham his supposed Bible verse and kind of chuckled to ourselves. 

"Psh. 2 year olds getting a memory verse."

But the Lord was probably chuckling to himself 

when later that night we told Graham it was time for his Bible story 

and he said, "Be strong in da Looooooord". 

Our hearts lurched. 

Who were we to doubt this growing heart, mind, and soul?

We looked at each other and knew the true responsibility

 of having these boys was realer then ever.

San Diego anniversary trip!

Happy 4 years of marriage, KCU. 

You are THE most incredible man I know.

And you're mine. 

Summer Recap: Hume!!

I can't tell you how relaxing and refreshing our week at Hume Lake was this year. 

To be on vacation with our 1208 family of 5 just felt right...

and then add in Miss B, Papa & GG, Steve and Grace, 

a night with Kyle, and the 2 cutest little boys on the planet?! 

Sigh. Hard to beat.

Dear sister, we were completely spoiled by getting to spend a solid 6 days with you.

Dear brother, I love being on vacation with you and your beard. But mostly you.

Sibs, I love you love you love you.

I mean...come on precious police.

So thankful for quality time with B. Finally.

How wonderful that we also wait until lounge/walk day to take a family picture. 

Eeesh. 2 bright sides: Family and Chad's new look.

Hello little worker bee. What would they do without you?

We looked forward to Dad getting here all week. 

"Oh hi fish. Wat to pay besbol?"

So many things running through these minds. We'll never know...

Graham asked for french fries all week.

JACKPOT: The corn dog kids meal came with fries AND a juice box.

I'm not sure he took a breath.

Again we are so incredibly thankful for these two.

They love, they give, they play.

Best. best. best.

This Hume trip was special.

It just was.

Until next time, Humer.
