Just a fall day. Beautiful kids.

Just happened to have the camera outside this day. These pictures were pretty impromptu.  Love my babies and their sweet smiles.

Spring!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately! Been busy lately LIVING!  And I know most of you see pictures on Facebook where I DO keep up. I'll work my way backward a little bit though. This was March, can you believe it??  I believe we actually did by-pass winter this year! After a week of a lot of rain and muddy roads I put the kids to work and had them wash my car.

 Carter was more interested in playing ball though...

 storm rolling in, though it surprisingly didn't really amount to much of anything

But... enough to make the car dirty again the next day on the road! LOL Oh well!

Summer's NOT over!

Just because school started does mean that summer is over! We got a new sprinkler the other day and the kids had a blast! Their expressions are priceless!

Then Carter finally woke up from nap and I let him join in on the fun...

 Or not. He hated it. Or there was a bug or something.

So. I filled up the water table instead.

And he was MUCH happier.

What a FUN afternoon!!

Always something fun

Daddy's always coming up with something fun to add to our yard for the kids to play on! At first it was this, and now it's this too. I love country livin'...

Our new toy...

Movie night....

little friends and all!  =)

When Daddy's away...

We PLAY!!

With Kevin working so much, I've been busy keeping the kids occupied with fun things.  I'm pretty sure I've said that before.  The kids also take turns laying for nap next to sleeping Daddy, or going to bed in Mommy's bed at night.  Not always.  But sometimes.  Last weekend I planned a living room sleepover.  I'd just taken apart Carter's crib (we never used it anyway) and his mattress had been laying out when I got the idea that we'd bring down Eli's and Hannah's mattresses  too (they're soo light and easy to move) and do a sleepover after movie night.  We waited til Carter was put in bed for the night and had a fun night together!  As I recall, last time we had a sleepover on the floor-floor I slept horribly.  This time having the mattress I slept fine! (I added a couch cushion to make my bed longer) We had so much fun!  This Outage, we're making it!

"Pool time"

Sometimes it's okay to break the rules.  Jumping off of tables n such.  Inside.  The kids dragged out all the blankets, we pushed the kids' table in from the play room, and the kids changed into the swim suits, and they went swimming!  Splashing and jumping and having the best fun ever! How can you say no to that??
