Fun with Aunt Amy and Drew!

Last week my sister and Drew were able to come down and visit us all week!!! We loved having them here and were able to do so many fun things while they were here! We had planed to go to a friend of the family's pool on the first day that they were here, but Drew got sick and was not feeling to good. So Jason and I took the kids. It was not as fun without them but.... we still had a good time. :)
Kaylee is Little Miss Dare Devil in the pool!!! We really have to watch her like a hawk!!! She would just go right into the water with no fear even if we were not there, so we have to be with her at all times until she learns how to swim! Brody on the other hand is a little more cautious and does not really enjoy when we try and make him do new things in the pool, like walk in the shallow end where he can touch! Or jump off the side of the pool even though we are right there to catch him! He just takes a little more prodding then she does. I think they both can learn from each other. :)


We went to visit me grandparents and had a really good time talking with them!


My grandpa with the kids.

My mom and dad got a new bouncy house for the kids to play in! It is GREAT!!! They loved it and got out some good energy with it!!!



We were making Kaylee's hand print in some cement. The look on her face and the hand on her head just says it all!! :)

Marmee made some yummy Popsicle's for the kids!! They all loved them while we had a little splash time outside.

We played with whip cream and some little lady wanted it squirted in her mouth! She is such a little ham! *This only happens at grandparents houses! We never let her do this at home* - Just to clarify. :)

The kids enjoyed some fun rides at the mall!


We had so much fun with Amy and Drew while they were here and we can't wait for them to come back!

Going Priviate

Well we have been thinking about this for awhile now and we have decided to make this blog a private blog. Since this blog is about our children we feel that it is important to know who is reading it. If you wish to be able to view our blog you can e-mail me or leave a comment below with your e-mail address. I will add your e-mail address to the list so you can continue to read our blog. Then you will receive an invitation through that e-mail and will be able to log in to read our blog. It's pretty easy to do!

We will be going private in a couple of weeks.

Happy 4th of July!

Hope everyone had a good 4th! We had lots of fun eating some yummy food, popsicles, playing outside, and watching a wonderful fireworks show! I thought it only right that the kids have the red, white, and blue popsicles on the 4th!! This was Kaylee's first store bought popsicle and she LOVED it!! She does not get juice yet (I am trying to hold her off as long as possible, I started too early with Brody) so I am sure this was a very yummy treat to her! I thought the kids looked cute in their 4th of July outfits!! Thanks mom and dad for getting them for them!



We went over to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner and fireworks. The kids had a lot of fun playing with their cousins and watching the fireworks show. I am not sure what face Brody is making here but it is cracking me up!

Kaylee loves to go up stairs and likes to do it all by herself! I am impressed that she can now go up the ladder by herself! Little Miss Independent!

Grandpa had some tanks for the kids to enjoy in the daylight. Here Brody and Lilly are helping him set it up.
They were not too sure of them at first!


Kristin brought a fun bounce house for the kids to play in! They had a blast!! Aunt Brandy went in to help Lilly get used to it. By the end of the night the kids were all jumping in it and having a great time!! (I think I need one of these at our house!!!) :)
