Fourth of July

The finale

The family watching fireworks and drinking rootbeer floats

Mom and Tom

Dad and Garrett

We had a great time visiting my family in Southern California. It was so nice to spend time with family. We spent almost the entire time in the pool and eating mom's yummy food. It was a great 4th! I have to mention that Aaron went to the new Bass Pro Shop THREE times! It is an awesome store, you have to see it to appreciate it. The kids did great on the way home, which contributed to a great visit.

More of Lily

I love Miss Lily's cheeks they are so soft and pure, I think I must kiss them at least two times every minute.

Lily at Eight Months

I'm saying da-da, following my big brother everywhere. I love Cherrios, peas and toast. My favorite toy is my piano or my brother's trucks. I love swimming and swinging. My mommy says I'm not a great sleeper...I tend to wake her up a lot at night. My hair is growing in curly and blonde. And just last week, I got two bottom teeth!

Mommy did a photo shoot with me last week and got me all dressed up. Here is one of the pics!

Swim Lessons Complete

Can you see Garrett swimming with his teacher Julia? He did a great job a swim lessons last week. We are so proud of Garrett's new water abilities. He can hold he breath underwater for like 10 seconds and can doggie paddle, a very short distance. Garrett is a little fish and loves the water, just like his mommy.

Young Women's Photos

About a month ago I took pictures young women in my ward in Paso Robles downtown park. They were all great models. Here are a few of my favorites!

Love of my Life

I know this might seem a little cheesy but, for the past several days I have been away from the house, entertaining a guest of Weatherby. It goes without saying that Sarah is the love of my life and undoubtedly the most amazing individual I know. The love she shows to me, our children and every individual she comes in contact with is truly a Christlike attribute. I can't express how much she truly means to me! I can't fully imagine where my life would be without her, but I do know it would most certainly have not been in a good directions. She is my beacon of light in a dark tunnel, coaching me through.

I love you TING!

Baby Gavin is Here!

Mandi and Chris had Gavin Todd Kirk on May 29, 2009 weighing 7 lbs. 5 oz. He is already a beautiful baby and the cutest nephew anyone could ask for! We had a great weekend playing with the kids and welcoming a new member of the family.
