A Monday... with Auntie Jo and Levi

Last Monday Katie and Levi stayed after our fun weekend and watched the kiddos. I had a coupon for this private residence turned awesome park. It's called Alderwood Park and they had a GREAT time. There is a train, paddle boats, fish you can feed, a pool and so much more. This was the kids first time going and Mommy and Daddy were pretty jealous, I guess we'll have to go again:-) Thanks Sis and Levi, great pics!

Another Beautiful Weekend

Sister Katie (Auntie Jo) and Levi came to visit this weekend. We just Chill-laxed (a new word she taught me), shopped and had a pool party. We were all kind of hoping Sister Molly would have that baby this weekend but no such luck.

Brad, Sean and Levi changed the CV axles on my Volkswagen....successfully I might add!
Lilly (Sean's niece) stopped by for the pool party and to play with the kiddos.
....and Brad and Levi painted the chicken house. There are still a few trim pieces to finish but it looks pretty fantastic, right?

Lots of fun! Thanks Auntie Jo and Levi for a fun visit and as always thanks for spoiling your niece and nephews.

New Puzzle

Getting a new puzzle is kind of a BIG DEAL at our house. The kids LOVE putting together puzzles. Owen is so stinking good at them. He can pretty much put a 25-48 piece puzzle together unassisted. Claire is getting more interested as she is typically interested in any thing Brother is doing. Brad bought this puzzle when Amma Ceal was down visiting and with our busy schedule they just finally sat down and put it together. The kids didn't want to open until Daddy could put it together with them...CUTE!

Smith Kiddos Visit

" Swimming with my Buddy"
Lots of blackberry picking...and even more blackberry eating. Birthday treats.
We celebrated Owen and Cameron's birthdays with a little gift exchange. I think the kids get more excited to give the gift they picked out than actually getting their gifts. Such sweet kiddos!
Cameron got a new princess Barbie......Not sure about it yet........Warming up...
Yippee, she likes it...
Owen got a Grave Digger with a jump launcher....
LOVES IT!!!!!!!!
Goof-balls
Story time with Sparky.
What a wonderful three days we had with my Roommate and her babies. I'm so glad our mid week visit worked out. The kids had a blast and the Mommies had a blast too! Logan's Nana, you are in our prayers.

My Little Beauty

Claire kept asking me to take her picture then she would hide under her towel as soon as I got my camera ready. So finally I just lifted up the towel and started shooting.....SO ADORABLE!!!

Thanks Amma Ceal

Ceal flew in last Saturday to watch our babies Monday and Tuesday while we worked. The last minute flight was a smokin' deal. We had a super fun visit and appreciate Ceal and everyone who has helped us out while Tracy in on maternity leave. The kids had so much fun with Amma Ceal, playing outside, picking blackberries, making cobbler, going out to dinner and just hanging out. Thanks again Amma Ceal!

Sunday night Amma Ceal and I went to see The Help.....check out this movie, it was wonderful!

Introducing Keira Colleen...

We brought dinner to the little family last Friday and met Keira for the first time. She is happy and healthy and almost three weeks old now. The kids thought she was pretty GREAT!

Stickers.....and Real Cute Kids!

The kiddos are showing off the stickers they got from their Aunt Kenzie in the mail. We all love you and miss you too Aunt!

Lunch Date

The kids and I headed to Lewisville Park today for some play time, river fun, and lunch. I feel like it's always business on my days home with the kiddos. You know... cooking, cleaning, laundry, pulling weeds etc. While I do love being home with my babies, I have been trying real hard (or at least I'm going to start trying harder) to have some fun with them outside of the house too. Owen will be going to Pre-school in a month...Where did the time go?
