Our Happenings

With all of these hot days we had to go out and buy the kids a little pool, so they have enjoyed that!

I’ve been enjoying seeing this cute little girl in a bathing suit!

And a coverup :)

We had a turtle float in Ryder’s closet that we had never blown up before, so he insisted we did for the pool.

Then began the turtle attachment.  He had to ride in the car with us…

He took him for walks around the house on a leash…

And even made a comfy little turtle bed!

What a silly boy!

He has been enjoying pushing his sister around the house in the little doll baby stroller she got for her birthday!  She normally laughs and loves it, but on this particular day she was like “get me out of here, he’s crazzzyyyyy!”  Figured it was the typical sibling torture shot so I had to share!

Saturday we met up with Nicki and she took family pictures for us!!  Here’s a sneak peek!

I can’t wait to share the rest, they came out SO good!!  (Thanks Nicki!!!)

On Sunday I took the kids to my very first best friend Karla’s little girls birthday party.  We lost touch over the years but recently reconnected and it was SO good to see her and watch our children play together.  What makes it even crazier is that she is now married to my highschool prom date!  So it was neat to see them, in love with a beautiful little girl!

Happy Birthday Evelyn!! Glad we could share your special day with you! :)

Ryder loved his goodie bag, he thinks these are the coolest glasses ever, he’s worn them every day since!

Maisy just makes me laugh…

So that’s what we’ve been up to!

Video Overload!

Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while, I’ve barely even picked up my camera.  Luckily I always have my cell phone with me and can still capture any cute/funny moments when I need to!  On the right hand side of the blog I added my Instagram pictures which come straight from my cell phone, and here are some of the latest video’s uploaded from my phone!  Enjoy :)
 
Ryder singing one of his jams…Cowboys Like Us by George Strait.  He says “Daddy, this song is about Cowboys like me & you!”
 

Maisy’s favorite book to read right now is a sign language book and she’s picking up on them…

 
It’s always fun to think of random questions to ask this guy, you never know what you’ll get!
 

Our professional little walker…she never stops now!

Learning how to eat with a fork and a spoon (stealing big brothers food while he’s busy aggravating Mommy!)

 
Maisy Dancing to the Bob the Builder theme song…

These kids are ridiculously entertaining!!

Our 4th of July

We usually spend the 4th of July at Alan’s Grandma’s house and this year was no different!  Although this year felt so weird with the 4th being in the middle of the week.  We still made the best of it and stayed out way too late, even though we had to be up early for work!

We got to see Carter & Callie for a little bit, Angela stopped by with them and Maisy was so excited!

Their 4th of July gear…Maisy’s shirt said “Little Miss Firecracker”.

A tradition for Alan and his family is to jump off the Cobb Island bridge every summer.  Ryder was pretty amazed and I cringed at the thought of him being old enough to do this one day!

Here goes Daddy:

Daddy took Maisy for a dip…

It finally got dark and was time for fireworks…

Which they tolerated for all of 5 minutes.  It was way past bedtime, as you can see in the picture below, both of them with one hand on the belly, the other rubbing their eyes!

So we enjoyed the rest of the show from the closed in porch!

We didn’t get home until almost midnight…needless to say our 4th of July was FUN but EXHAUSTING!
