 The next day she got her first hair bow.

All ready to go home!!

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

 Over the summer we enjoyed spending our Monday nights out at the softball fields.

 

Craig played left center field for the season

(although in the picture he was taking a turn at shortstop since it was the last game)

The boys had a fun time running around together, getting snacks, collecting bottle caps, and playing tag and other games.

 Meanwhile the girls had fun playing with the rocks, doing "gymnastics" on the gate, and getting snacks at the concession stand also.

 They put together a pretty good team and won 16 out of 16 games....a perfect season!!

Way to Go Boys----can't wait till next year!

Cousin Time

 

(Austin, Klayton, Connor, Nathan, Katie, Derek, Kambria, Jessica, Mikayla, Meagan)

Mike and Sara's kids came up for about 4 days and so these 10 cousins spent countless hours playing together and having a good time.

They enjoyed spending some time at the water at Sooner Park.

Klayton and Austin getting in the water....boys will be boys

Looking for snails

 We also drove up to Independence and went swimming at the waterpark there.

Did manage to get pictures of everyone in the lazy river (except myself)

 

 

 

 

One rainy afternoon we all went to the movies together and saw The Croods

The kids spent lots of time playing on the Wii together or just playing with toys

Our neighbors got out their bounce slide and were kind to let us all come over and use it

 

 Jessica and Meagan making paper rockets 

 Mike made a rocket launcher and the kids had a blast launching their rockets high into the air 

 Swimming in Papa Dave and Grandma Deb's pool 

 

 

  And every night was a sleepover night....the kids LOVED spending all this time with their cousins!!
