More Schwimming …
This boy just loves the water … he is a fish, just like his mother.

Braden and his Momma
Braden absolutely is in love with Morgan. He could be fussy and crying anywhere and then he’ll see or hear Morgan and instantly turn his head at her and “light up”. His smile will become huge and you can tell there is no one in the world like his mom. I absolutely love it. Morgan is a wonderful mother and wife and God has blessed me beyond belief with her.
Happy Fathers Day!
Ok, I know it was last week, but here it is.
On Fathers Day Kevin got breakfast (fresh blueberry pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns, strawberries, oj and milk) in bed with the Sunday paper. The day before we decided that we were going to go on a picnic with the other Turners, Dick and Joyce and Brian, Eryn and Liam. So after breakfast, we packed up the car, stopped for some fried chicken and potato wedges, and headed for Veterans Park. It was a beautiful day and it was fun watching the boys enjoy themselves. It was so nice we went from there to the community pool in Tuscany near Dick and Joyce’s house. It was so fun taking the little boys into the water! We have little inflatable chairs that will also keep them shaded, so they are completely pampered! What a life! All in all I think a good day was had by all and many fun memories were made and traditions started!
Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers in my life! (and Happy Birthday Joyce!) We love you all.

Yummy Cereal
2 days before Braden’s 4 month birthday we started adding rice cereal to his bottle. He had be so hungry and fussy and no matter how much I nursed and fed with straight formula he was still hungry, and waking up in the middle of the night to eat. And he hadn’t done that since he was 10 weeks old, so we figured we would try it out and see if cereal helped. What a difference it has been! Not only is he happier but he also spits up less when we add cereal to that meal. His doctor thinks he might had esophageal stenosis, hardening of the valve that lets food into the stomach, which results in major regurgitation. But other than that he is very healthy and growing really well! He weighed 15.1 lbs and was 26 inches long at 4 months. Long and skinny, what can I say, just like his Daddy! We have started introducing spoon-feeding which makes more of a mess than I think he gets into his belly, but things are getting better! He’s starting to understand the whole swallowing concept. Good job little man!

Swimming fun!
We have taken Braden swimming a few times now in an actual swimming pool and he LOVES it! We knew he likes his bath, but he loves water in general. He splashes and kicks at times but then also just floats calmly. When I put him under the water he just comes back up blinking his eyes and looking a little startled. No coughing or crying! What a good boy and already a little fish.
Timmons Farewell
Saturday was sad day for Morgan and myself (Roxy also, who will miss her boyfriend Sammy). Some of our best friends here in Boise, Luke and Stephanie Timmons, are moving to California. Saturday was their going away party.
They have been an inspiration to Morgan and myself in how to live a Christian marriage with devotion to one another. There is such a compassion in their lives for friends and family. I obviously spoke about personal issues more with Luke but I’m sure Steph is the same way: never judging, just listening and giving sound, biblical advice and counsel (with the random rant about cars, tires and Jordan in between). I’ll miss our Wednesday mornings at the “bagel place”.
I still look forward to dominating Luke in Fantasy Sports for many years to come. Hopefully his new job keeps him busy so he won’t have the time to do “research” and be the first on the waiver wire.
Timmonsiiii - We look forward to visiting you guys in LA and can’t wait to hit the slots and black-jack in Reno! Our prayers will always be with you and your new/old lives in California. We selfishly hope you move back soon.
