Evening bike rides. . .

We have been enjoying the cool*** 100degree evenings around here. The boys love to ride/be pushed around the block.

Carter insists on wearing the chin strap of his helmet ON HIS CHIN as opposed to UNDER it.
Pedaling great, but we still have some directional issues. I cut this video short thinking he was going to crash, thank heaven for helmets and training wheels.

Ava's Birthday party. . .


The boys friend, AEYYBBBAAA (Ava) had her 3rd birthday party yesterday. It was quite the event. Bouncehouses, horse rides and balloons etc. We had a great time. I won't caption the photos today, as I am sick and have no energy for wit or humor.

They should pretty well speak for themselves . . .

Long Overdue

This should pretty much sum up the events of the last couple weeks. I did manage to escape to Seattle (by my self!) for a couple days but no pictures of that. Carter and Cam continue to grow everyday. New words and phrases that keep me cracking up . . .

Camden - "Uhhhhuh, sure."
Carter - "Mommy you are my friend and mommy, you are my friendamommy"
Camden - "Oh, Okkkkaaaaaaay"
Camden - "Clean up, Clean up, do your share"
Carter - "I have a booboo, a bandaid will make it all better"
Carter - "I am a fireman and I will save your cat!"
Camden - Wuvvv you Mommy"
Carter - "my tummy really hurts, it needs a treat"

The boys now weigh the same. (almost) Carter weighs 33.5 pds, Cam weighs 33.8, though Carter is still about 3 inches taller than Camden.
Camden is loving his farm animals and building towers out of blocks. Carter still loves his tools and helping Daddy "fix the house." Both boys LOVE to read.

The kitchen remodel is coming along. the backsplash needs to be finished and then I will get some pictures up.

Otherwise, we are up to the usual . . .

Cleaning rooms,

Making messes,
Sleepover at grandma's,


Cousins pictures

Out to Lunch



Watching Nora grow by the second,

Best friends being silly,




Starting a band,
Lending a hand,
A smile in a bucket,


Always happy Ellie,
Conducting a car wash, in our normal Saturday attire,

The view from my bedroom window.
A quick picture before church,
Wrestling with Dane . . . at the dinner table!


Doggy pile on the lawn.

What we've been up to . . .

Loving our cuddle time with Daddy. . . 

Getting rid of the remnant of the mesquite tree,

Watching the Mesquite tree be chopped up. . .
Playing trains . . . 

Staying Cool . . .
Not letting the tractor out of our sights . . .
Building forts . . . 

That pretty much sums it up.
