HAPPY 4TH!

The girls...


Baylor


Averie


Delaney and Averie loving their balloon hats.


The boys...

That was July 3rd's fireworks. We met up with Aunt Shannon, Delaney, Aunt Shawna, Uncle Travis, Jayde and Jett. And many other friends. Daddy had to work so off we went for fireworks, a bouncy house (I didn't get any good pics of that...but all 5 children went in it at once) and dancing.

Below are pics from an annual party we go to on the 4th. We had awesome food, friends, fireworks and so much fun!!! And I got some neat pictures of the sunset. None of them are altered in any way. So pretty!

STRAWBERRY PICKING

From a while ago! We went strawberry picking at a local patch. It was very fun and neat!


I made them wear sunglasses even though they didn't want to.


Check out the berries in his fist.


Pick. Pick. Pick.

CAMPING!!!

We went camping last weekend at Pokagon State Park in Indiana!
Here is Baylor at the beach. Also, if you click this pic and make it big...or squint...you can see Averie, Grandma and Grandpa. The are all the way on the right side of the pic. Averie has peach on with a white hat. Grandma has on black capris and a blue shirt. And Grandpa has a blue patterned swimming suit on. They were having a blast splashing and running in the water! Baylor chose to stick to the blanket, dig in the sand and pull the little wagon up and down the ramp of the beach changing facilities.


Daddy joined us the second night (he missed the boom-booms aka thunderstorms at 3am the first night and during nap the second day & Mama with two kids in the bed all snuggled together!!!!!!!!!!).

Baylor making a silly Baylor face!


Averie and Grandma reading a choo-choo book at the campsite.


Beach-Girl's squinty face.


Beach BABE!! Checkin' out the water.


Camping was quite the adventure. We were sleep deprived but figured out how to get the kids to get to sleep better by the second night...so next time it will be much easier. Both kids did sleep well despite boom-booms the first night and Baylor ending up sleeping between Averie and me. He did great the rest of the time in the pack n play. He is getting so big and he understands so much. We will be camping again in July. We are going to choose a different site next time.

ZOO DAY!!!

A pic before we started going around...just in case I didn't have time to get the camera out later.


Playing.


Baylor driving at the zoo!


Having fun running up and down the little hill.


Brushing the goats.


Seeing the Zebra on the choo-choo. Probably the best part! Averie was so giggly and excited about being on the train.

A zebra and a beautiful blue sky with fake looking clouds.

BRANDON & ANNIE


































Everything at the wedding was beautiful! We sat with our good friends Re(e and (armine! It was great to get away for the weekend and enjoy wonderful food (I was stuffing my face all weekend) and friends and dancing! We also swam on Sunday morning before checkout. And the kids did AWESOME on the drives (about 4-5 hours including a 1 hour stop for lunch/potty breaks). On the way there, Baylor slept before lunch. Averie slept after. On the way home they both fell asleep almost right away and slept til we were less than an hour from home. We ate lunch once they woke up and only had 45 minutes left to drive after lunch. We entertained them by getting a couple new books, and some Color Wonder paper/markers and some Aqua Doodles. They especially enjoyed the Thomas Choo Choo book with a read along CD. It was very cute! So, now we're planning a camping trip for July!! Fun fun!!
Served Averie fresh milk for 1 year, 2 months and 5 days! Served Baylor fresh milk for 1 year, 6 months, 1 week and 5 days! Served Colbie fresh milk for 1 year, 3 months exactly!
