State Fair

Wayne and I took the boys to the state fair a few weeks ago. The last time we tried this, Josh was about 3... we haven't been back since now and we left our current 3 year old home this time. I have realized 3 year olds have a good time for about 20 min., then the rest of the time is whining and then the legs start going limp, pulling our hands while they try and lay on the ground. So we decided Ava has plenty of time to enjoy these things later so her parents can enjoy the experience as well.


So here are some fun pictures~

Josh feeding the animals. Caleb didn't want the slober on his hands. Go figure!

We then watched a sea lion show. So fun. They would dance, clap and even play dead!

This one is dancing!

Good ole bumper cars! I can't tell if they are having a good time?

Spin me right round right round!


Josh had his mouth open for the whole ride. They were so excited.

This is what happens to bad boys, whatcha gonna do?

Happy Halloween!

Soccer Stars

Carson's soccer picture.

Just some more cuties

Even though Carson's head is cut out of the picture, the smile was to great not to share!

Not quite sure what she is ready for, but by all means... SHE IS READY!

Look At Me

This is Ava dancing among the mess our living room has become. You can read her lips say "I so pretty" (and she is!) I just figured out how to turn the sound on our camera, so that will help for next time.

Just some good pics!

These pictures are from August. I just am so far behind and wanted to share some angelic moments other than when they are sleeping.

Randoms from August

Okay, so I have just been lazy (yeah right!) and not posted. Mostly due to third grade homework! Who knew??? Along with Soccer, Dance, Church, 1st grade homework, a 3 year old and a baby. When I get a moment to think, I couldn't imagine not doing it all. I love every moment even when I lay in bed at night and wonder how I got through the day and how in world to do it again tomorrow.

Aug. 21st. MY NEW BOOTS! How cool are these???

This is from Aug. 17th. My 3 boys! I can't believe what good looking boys we have.

These next 3 pics are from Aug. 31st. Just growing along and cute as can be!
This Winnie the Pooh has been in all my babies cribs at one point and time. It plays the Winnie the Pooh song and they have all loved it. It was at the hospital for Caleb and maybe for the others. I used to play it on my stomach when I was pregnant with Caleb. It is neat to pass down such things!

Melt me!

Finally some smiles not just on accident!

Ava's second day of school!

Okay, so I forgot to take the first day of school for Ava. But here is the next best thing, the second day. She loves school this year. She is in 3K at First Presbyterian Kindergarten.

First Day of School!

Off to school after a very busy summer. They were so excited. They had a great first day. Josh is in the first grade and this is his first year at this school. Caleb is in third grade. I am glad to have them at the same school finally, at least for the next three years. This just makes things so much easier. No homework yet, but I am preparing myself. They also started soccer Monday. That will be for eight weeks and practice is just once a week and games on Saturday. Busy, busy, busy!

Happy 1 Month Carson!

My how we have grown! We went to the Dr. office Monday and Carson weighed 10 pounds!

Can we say double chin? Here are some pictures of Carson growing...

This is my new puppy! Right now it is longer than me!

Yea!!! The chair is finished. No more pink chair! Nana headed back today to rest her weary head! She did a great job! Thanks Nana!!!

Daddy and Carson taking a Sunday nap. Wait... what is that blur in the corner getting ready to wake daddy up?

It was AVA!

Carson could have cared less.

I mean! Really?

Ava got real quite the other day, so I went to see what she was doing. She met me as she came out of the bathroom and looked up at me with this pitiful look. I asked what happened and she pointed at Nana's brush in her hair and said "It stuck". We pulled and pulled and she never whimpered once, and finally it came out. The sad thing is I remember doing the same thing, however, mine ended with scissors taking the brush out.

Great Big Sister!
