Old Ipod pics I forgot about :)

Back in July 2011, Joey and I both had our best friends move away. Alec Davenport was Joey's best friend, and the sweetest little guy a mom could ask for as the first school friend for her son in kindergarten. My dear friend Jennifer left soon after, so Joey and I went to Alamo Cafe to drown our sorrows in fresh of the griddle, buttery tortillas.





Joey and Alec after swim team practice
































This is Joey's bribe for swimming the 25 yard backstroke at a swim meet. The 2 tortuous minutes across the pool seemed to be worth it in return for some "sugar donuts." I was impressed Joey never turned over on his tummy!







































Kimball thought he was going to love getting splashed by the Atlantis ride at sea World until it it all went in his face. Then he wasn't so happy








































































This was Joey's first ever Field Day. It was a Fiesta theme so all the games had names in Spanish :) Kimball was so happy to be able to help do tug of war. It was killing him to sit and watch all the action happen without him.


















When no one was looking I snuck Kimball over to play a game






































Kimball was so cute posing for me in a field of the incredible wild bluebonnets that pop up in March.











































































Sweet letters for Dad.










































Peter's car was totaled back in April of last year. He was taking Joey to school and had to stop at a red light. He was rear-ended by a teacher and this was the result. We got more out of the insurance $ than what we paid for the car almost 7 years earlier (thanks to a great Bishop in Rawlings, Wyoming).










I love my grandpa! Here is one of his many ingenious ideas. He got some jars, screwed the lids into a board, and hung his own little "small parts" organizer. So smart.
