I did it again...I updated the blog and added so many posts on the same day that the first ones got pushed to the second page. Please check those out as well. Some of them are special pics!

Parents' First VACATION

So, I don't have any pictures of my vacation to post, but I thought I would update you about what's been going on.

Jeff and I went to Cancun for 5 days WITHOUT the babies! I did as well as I expected...I cried all the way from Sallisaw to Owasso after I initially dropped them off. Then the next morning when we were in the airport in Tulsa I got anxious and a little teary, but other than that I didn't cry again until Grammy and Grampaw brought them to us when we got home.

It was a great vacation with great friends and Jeff and I really enjoyed it!

We bought a BOAT

So those of you that have spent any time with Jeff and me over the last 4 years or so...you know we have talked to death the possibility to buying a pontoon boat. Well, we finally did it! We are so excited. I know the timing seems strange since we have one fewer paying jobs than we did this time last year, but my parents went it halvsies with us. Grampaw (I THINK that's what we are going to call Nelson, and I spelled it just like we have been pronouncing it...is that a little country or what?) was ADAMANT about the babies staying out of the lake this summer. We even stayed off the water on the Fourth! We had to do some sweet talking, but these pictures are from our first outing on the new boat. I will try to remember to take pics of the actual boat since lots of people have asked, but we were just SO excited to get out on the water we didn't think about it.

Playing in the GRASS and in the AIR

This is one Sunday after church in Sallisaw. They had been in the yard before, but always on a blanket. This is their first time to REALLY get to play in the grass.

First Biter Biscuit

Sweet Miss Vicky

This is Miss Vicky. She comes to the house to help me with the babies a couple mornings a week. We all love her so much, and she is a Godsend!

First Trip to Bass Pro

This was our first trip to Bass Pro shop, and Rider is lovin' it already!

First "Cheeto"

This is Josie when she had her first Gerber Lil' Crunchy, but I call them all Cheetos even when they aren't cheese flavored. She loves them now, but she wasn't sure what to think at first.

I think this was July 27th. :)

Four Martin Generations

I am SO far behind on my posting, so I'm not going to give a whole lot of narration on my pics. If I ever really get caught up I will go back to my "journaling".

This is Grampa Champ and Grampa Dave with Daddy and the babies! Then Grampa Champ and Rider--two Martin MEN! Such a special day!
