Visitors from afar

Our good friends Leon, Cindy, Kade and Tanner came to visit this weekend. They live far away so we had a BBQ with all of our friends so everyone would get to see them.

Kade and Tanner were great with the little ones. Here they are teaching Olivia how to dribble a basketball. She did pretty well.

Olivia let Tanner drive her car too. She had to ride along though to make sure he did everything he was supposed to do. She can be a little bossy sometimes :-)

It was very hard to say goodbye today. The girls decided they want big brothers now :-) Thanks for coming to visit Leon, Cindy, Kade and Tanner! Hope you had a safe trip back!

Baseball

We took the kids to the baseball game tonight. We arrived early and started out with hotdogs.

Then we watched a little of the game. The kids did pretty well for the most part.

Then we went to the "kids corner" and played in a jumping house and in the batting cages. All the kids got to participate, they were all really into it, especially Marcus...he even chased his own balls.

The kids lasted until the 6th inning and it was a high scoring game too.

We didn't leave the ballpark until 9pm...they were all exhausted, hopefully that means good sleep tonight!

The River

We couldn't head West without stopping at Raymond's. It was HOT this time so we just had to swim in the river. Marc made a path by clearing rocks so it was easier to get in the river. He even made a little wading pool to sit in. It was lots of fun and definately provided the coolness we needed.

Beach Fun

This was the one place I wanted to go. I'm so glad we did, the kids loved it and can't wait to go back again soon!

Next Stop

After meeting Elle, we headed up to Wes and Tracy's to hang out for a few days. The first night was a rough one with Marcus. He was up most of the night and early the next morning. I gave up on him and handed him over to Daddy...this is how I found them when I got up for the day. Marc said he was talking to Wes before Wes had to go to work and Marcus just crawled on his feet and fell asleep. Too funny!

Hello Giavanna!

Olivia was by Giavanna's side most of the time. She kept calling Gia her baby. I'm glad she's got baby cousins, cause she won't be having anymore baby siblings.

The princesses hit it off once again. These four play so well together...it's so much fun to watch.

We did try to get a cousin picture but Marcus didn't want anything to do with this princess stuff.

Welcome to the Family!

We went over to meet Elle for the first time on Weds. She is absolutely beautiful! I forget how little they are as newborns. So sweet.

Olivia is so baby crazy right now. She just wanted to kiss and hug and hold Elle. She is going to make a good big cousin.

Even Marcus was into the baby kissing. Smack! Congratulations Kimmie & Colby!

Just because

Happy 4th

After a long day of yard work, we went over to the neighbor's house for a party tonight. Marcus is saying "Happy 4th of July Everyone!"

The neighbors don't have kids, but they bought this great pool just for our kids! They loved it! They were in the pool the entire time we were there.

They even bought these great floaty toys for the kids...guess they want us to visit more often :-)

Hope everyone had a happy 4th. We sure did!
