Happy Birthday Millie!

Millie had a princess birthday party for special little girls. Everyone got to dress up and come celebrate sweet Millie. Ella absolutely adores sweet Millie, so she couldn't hardly wait!

Millie comes from an amazingly talented family of women, so I can only expect the same from her one day. Her sweet aunt, Maggie, made this amazing cake for her!

All the girls got to make crowns, ice cream sundaes, paint their nails, and eat cake...I dream come true! We, mommies, got to drink some amazing iced coffee and enjoy sweet friends.

Great job Al!

We love you Princess Millie!

New Rainboots

We pulled out our rainboots and got feet full of blisters.

Lolli to the rescue!

Everyone got a new pair of boots...Haynes are batman:-)

Port got some new cool big kid boots and Ella got a matching jacket with her adorable furry red boots!

Thanks Lolli!

Brian and I have booked the best babysitters around so that we can go to a few of the home football games. This was the sky one night! Our family just loves looking at the sunsets and usually my kids will say, "Look what God did for me!!" We decided that He was just showing off this night!

The battle of the car...

Brian just can't quite understand how the kids are able to get the car so dirty so quickly! I just expect it to be that way....probably not completely okay:-) This guy might be our number one contributor to the mess! This is a picture of him with his after-school-treat...which he happened to poke a hole in....so we wrapped it in a diaper (thanks Halle!).

As I say with my house...one day my house will be spotless, but not in this season!

Disney on Ice

JuJu got us all tickets to Disney on Ice...Toy Story. We got to do a few fun rides at the fair before heading into the performance. Lolli went to get everyone snow cones at intermission...cousins were delighted!!!

The big boys LOVED climbing the wall, so Haynes was determined to get his chance too! He made it to the top, we weren't surprised, but was too light to come down by himself. The man quickly climbed up to help him get down:-)

Ella and Preslee loved riding together. They would fly by and wave like Miss America. Love these sweet princesses...can't wait for Harper to join them!

These three just love anything as long as they are together!

Bug Walk

All the kids had "Bug Walk" parties in their classes a few weeks ago. Haynes was determined to get a butterfly, unfortunately only his friend Ella caught a beautiful Monarch for us to see. My favorite part of his party was when we got to the "search" sight Haynes was sitting by himself waiting for his cage. I walked up and asked why he looked sad...his response was, "I miss my best friend Beau!"

(Beau was at the beach with his family) I love that God has given him such an amazing buddy, but we had to talk about making other friends too:-)

Ella's bug walk was quite muddy....she didn't actually find a bug but she sure did look cute:-)

I can't find Port's pictures from his trip, but it was amazing! Port, Dax and Samara were the only kids that could ride bikes without training wheels...dad's were quite proud! They did find a few black widows on their hunt....WOW!
