That Face

Who can resist this girl? I just love that sweet face.

Dr. Jekyl and Ms. Hyde

These pictures were taken 2.6 seconds apart. As you can see, dealing with Ellie is an ever changing adventure.

Party like a Rock Star

Around here, we celebrate birthdays as much as we can. Hayden's friend party was fun- swimming, slip and slide, pinata . . . He had a great time with his cousins and friends.

Cousins

We have the best cousins in the whole world! Cute, too.

These Boots are Made for Walkin' . . .

This is how we spend our time while Hayden is in school. (notice Hayden's undies that Chloe is wearing over her shorts)

Birthday fun

Hayden enjoyed his family birthday dinner last night. The Lincoln logs were a huge hit, as were the dinosaurs and Rescue Heroes. He was so pooped, he slept in and was a bit late for school today. Ahhh, the life of a party boy.

Happy Birthday, Hayden!!!!!

I can't believe that Hayden is 6 years old today. He was such a cute little (big) baby- and now he's a big Kindergartner. It's such a cliche- but time really does fly when they are little. Next thing I know he'll be in college. Happy Birthday, to my wonderful boy.

First day of School

Well, we survived the first day of Kindergarten. Hayden was fine, Mom had a little trouble. He is very excited about the school year. I didn't have the heart to tell him that he has approximately 17+ years to go . . . He LOVED riding the bus, too. I can't believe my baby is in school already.

Happy Campers

The kids had a blast camping last weekend. Emily, Hayden, Chloe, Billy and Ellie all played in the mud- it rained for hours each afternoon and evening. I'm still doing laundry- and we've been home four days. It's messy work, being a camper.

Sisters

Daddy's Girl

Chloe's first Diamondback's game with dad. They got to sit in the luxury suite and have chicken, cookies and chips. Oh, and watch baseball, too.

Hiking in our Jammies

While in Young, we had a few early morning wakeups. What better way to kill some time than to take a little hike with the fam? We didn't bother with changing out of our jammies- you might as well be comfy. Notice Chloe's rain boots- always prepared, we are. Chloe also successfully completed her first Tinkle in the woods- She executed the squat perfectly, and had no errant drips. We are so proud.
