Pumpkin Day!

Hay Ride!

Bethany did NOT want her picture take with the pumpkins. This was as close as I could get!

Matching Aprons

The girls like to help me cook so Adam surprised us with these matching aprons. My friend, Melody from Simplie Girlie Designs made these and I thought she did such a great job!

CAMPING

Last weekend we went on our first ever family camping trip. We went to a nearby lake, found our spot and pitched the tent. Let me tell you, it was sooo hot! We thought it'd get cooler pretty quick after the sun went down. That was not the case. We were hot, sweaty and it was very hard to go to sleep. I think our next camping trip will be when we have cooler temps. I'm not sure if that will ever happen though. It's been so hot for so long here.

Shelby and Adam put up the tent while....

Bethany napped in the van.

Then she snuck some Cheetos while Daddy was grilling burgers.

TaDa! Tent's done!

There was no campfire so no smores...there was a burn ban in effect. :(

Shelby told us a story about a Cowboy and Cowgirl. That girl has some imagination!

You can tell we were HOT! Look how sweaty she was!

Time to hit the trail!

Swampy!

All in all we had a fun time. Next time I think I'd rather "camp" in a camper though. I just don't think I'm the outdoors-y type. I like a bed, an air conditioner and a SHOWER!!!

First Days of School

Shelby and Bethany are having fun in school this year. Shelby's already been Koality Kid of the week and is making good grades. Bethany is having so much fun with her friends. She learned about colors last week and brought a pink ducky to show and tell on Friday.

Ready or Not...Here I Come!!!

Shelby has a friend sleeping over tonight and all 3 girls were playing hide and seek. Adam helped Bethany find a hiding spot so that Shelby and her friend couldn't find her. The search for Bethany began. After a few minutes Bethany still had not been found. Adam yelled from the living room to Beth's hiding spot in the bathroom, "Bethany, be real still and quiet!" In reply she yells, "Okay!" giving away her location! It made us laugh so hard! So cute!!

Adam's B-Day

We celebrated Adam's 31st birthday at Amanda and Cory's. It was a whirl-wind trip was was so much fun. The kids had a blast. We always feel so at home and have so much fun when we all get together. It's a shame we live so far apart because we all enjoy each other so much.

Charley and Bethy (as he calls her) were inseparable!

Cory is showing the girls how to make kabobs. They were so yummy!

Adam's diggin' into his ice cream cake from Maggie Moo's.

We're on our way to CrabTown for Adam's birthday.

The girls caught fireflies that night.

Roasted marshmallows!

Look at the size of this one!

2 pooped kiddos!

Look who's 3! It's Bethany!

Bethany turned 3 last Saturday. Since she has a summer birthday we decided to have a swimming party for her and invite her friends from Sunday school.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BETHANY!!!
