Shawn had a week off of work, and we took advantage of the vacation time to get some quality bonding in. The week seemed to fly by...but we got plenty of activity in. We took
Roanin to see the movie Up (he cried when he thought the Mommy bird was not going to get to her babies. It was so cute seeing innocence at it's best), worked on the nursery, went out to eat, grilled out, went fishing, and just hung out with each other. Here are a few of the activities...

My nephew, DJ, graduated from high school over the weekend. We went to celebrate at his party held at my parent's house. Here is the graduate cuddling his younger brother, Derrick.

barbecue at the party.

Roanin hanging out with his favorites...Cousin Danielle and Katherine.

Daddy took
Roanin to his first gun show for some male bonding, and to give Mommy a little break.
Roanin LOVED it.

Just the two...make that the three of us, trying to get a little swimming in. Pregnant anyone?

Daddy taking his turn in the little pool with
RoRo. Do we look like a bunch of hillbillies or what?

When I was growing up, I went to a camp every summer in Colorado where we made what we called "hobos" by fireside. You basically take meat, potatoes, carrots, pickles, cheese, mustard, ketchup, salt and pepper and throw it all in some foil and let it cook over hot coals. This tradition carried over into Shawn and
I's marriage...we make them every time we camp and have a fire. And of course, now, we have started making the famous hobos with Little Man. This was his first time to put it together by himself (minus the raw meat part). He was so excited...he ran outside and threw the darn thing directly into the fire before we were ready. Shawn had to fish it out with a shovel. Despite a little ash...it turned out alright.
Roanin giving some love to one of the kittens. What a way to end a perfect day!
