Our Guitar Heros

One of Jared's graduation gifts was the nintendo game "guitar hero." He's been having a lot of fun playing it especially since he's had this last week off. On Saturday Mackayla kept saying she wanted to play but needed her own guitar. It was pretty sad and finaly Jared suggested we go look at the dollar store for a guitar. They didn't have one, so we went next door to the second-hand children's store to look. They didn't have many toys on this particular day, but AMAZINGLY we found this little guitar for only $2.00 that really makes music. It was our lucky day. Anyway, Mackayla spent much of the day standing right next to Jared playing her guitar. As soon as he picks up his guitar, she runs and gets hers and is right by his side.

Here are just a bunch of photos of fun times we had with all our visitors last week...

Giving Grandma Nini a hug

Making cupcakes with Nini

Mackayla and Bradley playing with Papa

Bradley's first swim at Jared's cousin Shalynn's house

Grandpa Hatfield ready to drive home with sleeping Bradley in his arms

ATTENTION: This was just a joke. The car was still parked. We would never allow Bradley to travel like this, nor would Grandpa be willing to drive like this. Our kids are ALWAYS in their carseats.

Giddy up!!
The kids loved having their cousins Jaden and Logan around. It was fun to have Bradley and Logan (only 4 days apart) together.

Jaden was excited to get to go to school with Mackayla one day

Grandpa had to leave a few days before his birthday so Mackayla wanted a chance to sing to him and help him blow out a candle


We had such a great time with everyone. We hope you're planning to come again soon!!

Those were such fun pictures. I love Bradley's hair--so cute. Glad to hear Jared loves Guitar Hero. Have you tried "medium" level yet? It's so hard! Although we heard Jared's a natural, so maybe it won't be hard for him.

Great pictures! Bradley and Logan are getting so big-It must have been fun to have those boys together. As for the carseat disclaimer, Meagan still talks about her driving escapade around the RV park with you, Melissa. :)

What happens in an RV park stays in the RV park.

Those places are WILD!
