Playing and posing

We were out last night playing while Daddy washed the cars! Poor Daddy! I have to tell you about Elizabeth's outfit! She is really into dressing herself. So today she put one a pink top, black shorts and her tutu. She brought the pink bow to me to put in her hair too. She cracked me up. Oh, and she HAD to have her Dora shoes that are 2 sizes too big from her friend Hannah.

So, guess who no longer is liking the camera???

Yep, Miss Ellie!

Guess who DOES like the camera again??? That would be Benjamin!!

And here are the kids petting out sweet dog Max. He just got totally shaved and now looks like a big hyena or chihuahua! The kids adore him and he was loving the attention!

4th of July Picture Overload!

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! We went to the lake and had tons of fun - along with some work around the place! They have the best fireworks show every year there! The only way I can explain it is that it is like the whole show is one big finale!! It's fantastic! We even got to ride in a boat parade. We ate lots of grilled chicken and hamburgers - compliments to Chefs Tommy and Travis! We also had friends come down to have fun too! The kids swam and ran around all over the place! It was a great weekend! I won't tell you all about locking the keys in the car while running right before packing up! Thank goodness for Grandpa Travis' skill with a coat hanger!! Anyway, here are some pictures!


Elizabeth has always loved lying in Gunnar's (the dog) bed!


Ahhhhh, Jordan actually not looking bored! He's 12!!!

I love these pics of E hamming it up amd posing for the camera! She loves saying "cheese"!!!

The kids just enjoying the beautiful day!

Last, but not least, as the kids and I were on the lawn playing, Tommy sneaked into Grandpa Travis' house to eat the rest of his famous homemade ice cream. What a sneak!!

We had such a good time!!
