This little guy is always so smiley. I love how he enjoys interacting with others. He is such a gift! After a while it was pretty much impossible to get Isabella to look at the camera. she is so full of energy! Josh and I are so blessed to have the children that we have. There is never a dull moment, and most of the time (aside from moments of frustration that those with chilren can only understand) we love and enjoy each other tremenendously.

We were so happy that mom and dad Draper were able to be in town for Luke's blessing. It was such a special day. It was so nice to share this day with all of our loved ones.

Mom and Dad Draper were such a help to me. It was nice to have them around to talk to while Josh was at work, not to mention the help with potty training Isabella. We had such a good time. Dad also took on big projects that we had been meaning to get to. Just to mention a few: Staining our backyard fence, cleaning out and organizing our garage, constructing the inside of Josh's work shed, helping me program the garage remote, etc, etc. You get the point. Dad pretty much worked the entire time he was here. Nice vacation huh? Thanks dad!!
Mom helped me out so much with the kids, fixing meals, and doing house work. It was nice to be able to take breaks/naps to recharge. It was more than nice actually. I know mom and dad came here for a vacation, but it seems like I was the one on vacation. You guys are the best. We were fortunate enough to get pictures with both sets of Grandparents and the kids. We must have taken 9 different photos on this couch. We wanted to make sure that every grandparent had a photo opportunity with each of their grandchildren. They were really good sports with my picture taking frenzy. The 4th of July at the Lake. Grandma and Grandpa Poyfair made things so fun for all who came to partake in the festivities. As always there was yummy food, plenty of fireworks, boating, and a trip to the movies. I didn't go to the movie, but I heard that all of the kids absolutely loved "Ice Age 3". Thanks mom and dad Poyfair!! We always have such a good time when we come and we know that you put a lot of hard work into making sure we all have an enjoyable time. At this point in time Isabella had a fasination with the moon. Here she points at it. I liked taking this picture on the 4th of July because I could pretend that she was pointing out a particularly extravagant firework display. She loved the fireworks and I heard about them for days afterward.

Life has been so full of pleasures these last few months. We are so happy and blessed to be a part of the Poyfair and Draper families. We love you guys!!
