Straight from Nate

Nate and Cade spent a couple of nights with Grammy and Granddad.  Grammy sent me a Nate quote.


Tonight before dinner Nate raised his shirt, pinched the skin around his belly button and asked, "Grammy, can I have one of those little donuts with the white stuff on top?  I only have one percent flab on my belly."

Cracked me up that instead of juice boxes there were wine boxes


On top of the duomo - 400 something steps

A spot my parents wanted us to find - can't believe we spotted it. This is in Sorrento

Life in iPhone Pictures - Italy

On our first flight to Italy. I had stayed up the entire night before finishing things up. I still couldn't sleep very much on the flights. I don't seem to have that ability.


Jenise watched the boys for us. She truly rocks. She sent this picture of Nate

Me and Charlotte


My seat was broken. They couldn't fix it, but Brad was kind enough to switch seats with me

Life in iPhone Pictures - Brownsville

We didn't have a chance to take a family vacation this summer, so when our good friends invited us to come and stay with them in Brownsville, we went. We miss these friends and their boys. Cade and their older son are good friends, and Nate and their younger son are two peas in a pod. We really had a great time.


Chase turned 14 on this trip. How did that happen?


Punk!


Playing at the beach


This picture melts me.





Playing in the waves





Nate and his BFF


Since it was Chase's birthday, he was able to bring a friend

















Our friend is a dermatologist and was kind enough to freeze a spot off of Cade's hand. Cade was surprisingly brave.
