small town.

Last week, we headed to our local "fair" for an evening of...well for an evening of fried food and rickety fair rides :) We had fun!

Corn dogs started us off.

Cole entertained her brother as usual.

A little train action...Camden was WAY excited about this!

Next was the roller coaster. Cole was WAY excited about this...Camden...not so sure. He smiled most of the time though. Cole squealed through the whole thing :)

Next, Camden and Daddy bumped in the bumper cars.

And then Daddy and Cole went high on the ferris wheel.

We capped off the night on the giant slide...twice. They loved this!

I LOVE our small town and our small town fair! FUN times!

smiles for a monday morning.

special delivery.

My dear friend Katie sure did bring a smile to my little girl's face a few days ago! A new lunch box is pretty high on "the coolest gift ever" list of Cole's!
Cole says she's "ready for kindergarten" now :) Thank you Kate!!!

all 3.

There are officially too many people to get to look at the camera at the SAME time in this family!
After a fun afternoon of flying kites, we got the trio bathed and ready for a good nap.
But first, they wanted to hold their baby brother, so a semi-photo op happened :)

Check out Case's face in these next two shots...priceless and I'm afraid this is what he has to look forward to for some time to come.

flying high.

Last week, we had the perfect day to fly a kite. So that's just what we did.
You would've thought we took the kids to Disney World--they had a ball!

And Case, as usual, smiling. :)

big boy food.

This past week, we started Case with some cereal.
He did awesome the first night, but since has changed his mind about the subject.
He's still young, so we'll give it a try again soon.



Case James, you are so cute I can hardly stand it!

celebration.

After Cole's first day of school, we headed to Subway for a celebration lunch.
It's the simple things in life that make these kiddos really happy :)


And Case is chillin' as usual!


Yum!

Not quite sure what Camden was up to, but he's cute none the less :)

picnic and flowers.

We went with some friends to the zoo playground and for a picnic last week.

There are NO pictures of the playground--well, because I have 3 kids to attend to on the said playground :)

However, we did get a couple of shots of the kiddos after lunch in the flower garden.

They loved the flowers and were busy chasing butterflies for quite some time!


Our attempts at a picture of the 4 of them... (by the way, it should be noted that the babies, Case and Olivia were behaving themselves very nicely...napping to be exact.)




These 3 were still cheesin'. Isabel was outta there :)



Would you look at that face on Camden?!



Still hugging :)

Just one of the many butterflies keeping our kiddos busy!

wedding bliss.

A little over a week ago, we headed just a bit out of town to a beautiful wedding of one of our former youth "kids". It was a beautiful ceremony of two very special people!

I love how these two love each other and I choose to hope that this is the only boy Cole will hug and the only girl Camden will hug at a wedding for a LONG LONG LOOOOOONG time!

The kids loved the stone figures :)

Case was such a sport despite the heat!

What a beautiful couple and a beautiful wedding party!

Did I say that the kids LOVED the local?!

Great smile guys :)

On our way to the reception.
