Fourth Fun

The kids and I went to Nano's house for the 4th of July weekend. It was a big reunion for all the cousins and kids. We had a great time since we all rarely get together. Ellie had a great time playing with Parker and Nano's new dog, Baxter. Jack LOVED the pool and being able to play outside.

Party on the Farm

Ellie went to a birthday party at Maple Grove Farm for our friend and old next door neighbor Drew Haynes and had a blast. Part of the favors was this cute hat and she loved wearing it while eating cake and ice cream.

The birthday boy
Drew's mom, Stacey, and I got to be good friends when they lived next door to us. Stacey is currently battling lymphoma and we are praying for her often that she would be cured of this awful disease and that she would be healthy again to continue to be such an awesome mom to her four kids.

Our baby girl

Here are some adorable pictures of our baby girl. She is getting so old and I sometimes wish I could stop te clock. After her bath at night she asks me to hold her like a little tiny baby and I love it! Here she is with some of her princess stuff on.

Sprinkler Fun

The kids played in the sprinkler the other day and had a big time. They love to be outside and playing in the water!

Toys R Us

Last weekend mom and I took Ellie to Toys R Us to meet some characters. This was right up her alley, as she loves hugging on these larger than life characters. She got to meet Geofferey the Toys R Us giraffe, Diego, the yellow Care Bear, and Strawberry Shortcake. She had a great time and basically stalked the yellow Care Bear around the store!

There was a huge line to meet Diego and Ellie and Keegan just kept sitting there after I made their picture. They werent going anywhere! They both love Diego.

Kung Fu Fighting

Saturday night Ellie and I had a girls night out to see Kung Fu Panda. She has only been to a couple of movies, but she loves to go. She loved the movie and kept doing kung fu moves for the rest of the weekend. She wanted me to take her picture doing one Sunday morning before going swimming.
