Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

It's pool time!

This year we joined the Cardinal Pool! It's so nice and there are not very many people at all. It was awesome. The best part? It's about half a mile from our house. Caden and Brian rode their bike today. They both loved it!

Collins loves the water! I can't wait to spend the summer there!!

We finished off our memorial day with a cookout at mom and dads and a 5 mile walk on the greenway!

Caden's new bike

Caden needed a new bike. So, we spent 2 Saturdays looking for the perfect bike. Caden, Addison and Brian found it today!

I think he looks handsome!! He even made his daddy stop at the top of the street so he could ride it home. He must of planned that since he had his helmet!!

Finally, we got Collins 1 year pictures and Caden's 6 year pictures done.  We had a GREAT time! 






 Addison wanted to stand on her own rock. So typical!  That sweet girl beats to her own drum...and I love it!









(Family, if you would like to order any of these AND many more I have uploaded them to shutterfly and would be happy to email you the link...just let me know!)

Stitches oh my!!

This morning started off great...Caden played ball and did great. We came home he played outside. Just as we were coming in to get ready for a birthday party Caden fell off his bike....split his chin open, chipped a tooth and scraped up his face, elbow and knee. Whew. In a flash we were off to brenners to get him fixed up. 4 stitches later and some really great medicine to make sure he doesn't remember a thing he is sound asleep in his bed. Brian tried to watch them fix Caden up and almost passed out. I didn't. I stood by his head and rubbed his head without seeing too much.

I'll spare you all the nasty pictures. If you'd like to see them shot me an email.

Addison and Collins enjoyed their afternoon with grandma and granddaddy. I'm not sure what we would do without family close by!!

A stay at home day

Today the girls and is stayed home. We played, cleaned for a short time and let collins get back on her nap schedule. She rocked and slept from 10-11:15 am and then from 1:30-5! I think she might be caught up. She was waking up in the night because she was over tired. (I went to the pediatrician to find that out!). She also told me something I already knew...Collins HATES to be alone. Well, she hates to be alone unless shes climbing into a cabinet. We have an empty cabinet in our kitchen and she has found her new home!!

Zoo and fun

Today we headed back to the zoo for more fun!! Yesterday we saw the Africa portion and today we did north America. Brian got to go today! It was a blast. We even let the kids eat there. What a treat!

When we got home we rested for an hour and headed over to grandma and grandaddy's house to pressure wash and eat dinner. Dad and Brian had "fun" pressure washing the house. The kids had a blast playing in the yard. A friend from school that lives down the street came to visit. Collins is now walking behind things. The lawn mower came out!!
