Ava's 2 1/2 months now!

A Cold front in August

We were surprised one evening when the kids and I took the trash can out how nice the weather was outside. It was probably still in the 90's but it sure did feel good from what we were used to the last couple of weeks. So we stayed outside and the kids rode their bikes and Ava watched from her car seat enjoying the nice breeze. Yes, thats Alyssa's bike Corbin is riding, I know its a girls bike, but he thinks he so big when he gets on it and goes. He loves it.

Viva Las Vegas!!!!

Brad had a Conference in Vegas this month so we all decided to go with him. We didn't want to miss a trip to Vegas! We stayed at the Paris, which is so big & cool, (like all the rest of the). The kids loved the hotel room, and got a kick out of the bathroom of all places. They did see the water show at Belagio and loved that. We walked around Ceasers Palace and down the strip a little ways until the kids and us got tired. Friday night Uncle Drew and Aunt Susan came to stay with us and on Saturday, the kids and I went with them to the outlet stores for the morning. It was a fun weekend.



Our boy becoming a man so quickly he finds the remote to the TV!


Our group of friends we met up with in Vegas for the Conference.


The kids couldn't quite make the Vegas night life. They fell asleep as we were walking back to the hotel. I guess we weren't fast enough! Alyssa is so big, she kept falling out of the stroller because her legs are so long. Needless to say we got a lot of looks as we walked back to the hotel.

Summertime Company

Grandma and Grandpa Fears came to visit this summer. We went to the new Bass Pro Shop one day and had a lot of fun looking around, shooting guns, and eating lunch. Its very similar to Cabellas.





























Alyssa loved hanging out with Uncle Shawn. She was very excited when he colored with her. She loves coloring. Edward and Kelli came to visit as well and got their fill of kids, so they defiantly are waiting a little bit longer for kids I'm sure. Although they do look pretty good with two girls!!

Father and Sons Campout

Brad and Corbin had a great time on their campout. It was north a couple of hours near payson, very pretty area. Corbin loved it and had a great time.

Ava's Blessing

Ava Chalfant was blessed July 29th by her grandfather (Brad's Dad). He gave her a really nice blessing and she did a good job staying quiet. We both were able to have our parents here and some of our brothers and sisters came for the occasion too. It was good to visit with everyone and we all had a good weekend. Sarah's mom made Ava's blessing dress and bonnet and did a really beautiful job on it. I love it! Thank you. Ava is now 13 pounds 1 ounce and 24" long. She smiles all the time at us and the kids are loving her even more every day.

4th of July

For the Fourth of July, we were invited to a BBQ at our friends house for the night. We went swimming, had yummy Hot Dogs and Hamburgers, and a good dessert that the kids help make. We saw some fireworks from a distance when we were getting ready to leave. The kids were so tired, they didn't what to think of them. Some of the guys did bottle bombs that were really loud when the exploded! The kids liked that, except Ava, they kept waking her up. It was Good times, and Good company.
