Summer time is here!

Tons of fun childhood memories came flooding back when we bought her a Slip N Slide. Everyone took a turn. The only difference from when I was a kid weremy sore arms the next day...from bracing myself as I was going down. :)

Always time for a little swinging.
This was our first trip to Ninny's pool. It was so nice. It was shallow enough for her to touch. I didn't have to hold her at all! And he LOVES water. In fact, when he hears the bathtub filling up, he cries until he gets put in it. Cutie Pie!

We had lots of summer fun this weekend! The weather was great for all the water play!

More Branson Vacation

We enjoyed another fun weekend at Branson. This time we were fortunate to meet up with some of our good friends at Silver Dollar City. They just happened to be having a Branson vacation at the same time as us. It was great to see old friends. The girls had a blast together and riding all the rides.

A picture of us all hot and sweaty. The guy didn't get all of Sissy in the pic...oh well. Next time we should ask a woman. :)
Playing in the ice cold pool. She didn't seem to mind the cold temp like Daddy did.
PLaying in the water at Taneycomo by Lake Tablerock.

Ice Cream treat before we headed back home. Yummy!He didn't get any ice cream. He was this excited and happy about drinking water from my cup.

8 months ALREADY!

Where has the time gone? My baby boy is already 8 months old. He is such a happy little fellow! This past month he has made many milestones. He now gives kisses, pulls up on stuff, goes from laying down to sitting up, and tonight he CRAWLED! He was crawling to get one of Sissy's Tinkerbell toys. Watch out Sissy, nothings safe anymore!Here he is pulling up on the changing table. He found the diapers and was so excited to be grabbing them and throwing them on the ground.
A laundry basket can prove to be a lot of entertainment. He was sitting on the side of it, trying to figure out how to get the clothes out. He could see them but couldn't grab them through the little holes. Funny. He didn't even notice the huge opening at the other end. When he finally found it, pure joy filled him as he ripped the clothes out and threw them on the ground.

May Birthdays at the Lake House


A nice paddle boat ride given by an excellent tour guide, Aunt Kristin.

Another fun day filled with birthday celebrations.

Happy 30th Daddy!

She picked out the cake..her reason was "Daddy's never had a smily face cake!"

Daddy turned 30 this week! Here he is with all the gifts she picked out for him! She was most excited about the Bubble Tape, which she swallowed after about a minute of chewing it. And the little guy, he's happy about anything in his hands these days! Fun times.

Backyard Friend



She loved finding this little guy in our backyard. She played with im so much, I am sure he thought he was never going to be able to escape!

the "REAL pictures"...

My Mom said I didn't show any of the REAL party pictures from this weekend. So, here you go, Mom. I am adding another one to the mix of the others.

We definitely enjoyed ourselves around the fire(if you know what I mean)...CHEERS to 30!
