Visit to see our new cousin, Daniel

Ashlyn & Ethan wanted to lay on the ottoman like baby Daniel.. and uh...Momma had to stand on it to get a better pic...yeehaw!
Daniel 6 weeks old and swaddled like a burrito..now THAT'S the life...
Ethan & Ashlyn watching Peter Pan
On the car ride home...Ash crashed..as did Efers...and Efers slept with his blanket over his head (sorry this pic is WAY out of order)
Playing at Joy's house...they love your pool!! Thanks, girl!
The girls out shoppin' !(of course we took the kids..but yeah..we can pretend we're out on the loose). (I have a friend in the great white North that LOVES Target...so this is especially for you, Lil!)
Ethan entertained himself with a pair of rain boots that he loved (managed to grab the right size even)... he danced for quite a while in those boots... silly boy... makes you wonder who plays with YOUR stuff before you buy it..
oh yeah..Ethan...act like you didn't want to lay there... it was your idea, you stinker!

BATMAN!!!!

Ethan's newest fave superhero...too bad his batman jammies are long sleeved and it's BLAZING hot outside... stay inside, Batman..or your cape will stick to your bum!

Du nu nu nu nu nu nu nu... Du nu nu nu nu nu nu nu...Du nu nu nu nu nu nu nu.. ETHAN!!

A visit from Grandpa

Thanks for coming out to see us, Grandpa!

Pause for a pic in the back yard...

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

We love you, Daddy!


Cheese...
Just what y'all have always wanted to see...a scurry pic of Anita up close...

the kids are OBSESSED with their kiddy pool already
Cade...beating the heat.
silly Budgie
how easy do you think it is to make Daddy's b-day cake with these little nuts running around... and yes..that's Ash with blue frosting and a wipe on her cheek..having a grand ole time..and Ethan managed to sneak some icing off right after this shot...
Ethan playing his ADT guitar...yeehaw!
my little blue eyed baby
say cheese...

he insisted that I take a pic of him and his cars...only one of them fell off the porch..but survived the impact...wooohooo!
Ash and her 'cowors'
Ashlyn's mowin' with Daddy

now Ethan's mowin' with Daddy..with Ash along for the chase..

just love it when they hold hands without me asking them to
on a walk..and Ash's walking Cade..
it took her a little while to figure out she didn't have to hold her arms up that high..silly girl
I just love this little girl
and this silly dog too

what's better than movie night?
I love my little boy too

climbing on his 'fort'
the girl likes to climb ladders...
