Update! Update! Update!

It's been way too long! Sorry! August was a busy, but fun month! Now that preschool has started, things have started to calm down. So here is an August update in pictures! Picture overload!

No WONDER we are always out of wipes! Little stinker!

We had so much fun at the Ozarks back in June that we decided to go back again and take the boys. Mason's work was having a family weekend there and had a whole bunch of fun activities for the kids, including bounce houses, live bands and djs. The resort had several pools as well as a bowling alley! We dropped Owen off in Rolla, so he got some special one on one time with Mama and Papa! We had such a good time that we didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back!

Aiden and Kaleb sad that we're leaving!


We brought lollipops back for Ava and Ben too!

You don't see this very often!

Don't underestimate how innocent he looks!

Still pondering...

Fun Filled Weekend!

This weekend was alot of fun! Saturday afternoon we walked to the park for the Backyard Bash. The boys got to play some games, play in a bounce house and a huge slide. They had a ball and were worn out when we got home.





Sunday we went next door to celebrate Ava's 3rd birthday! We are so glad to have the Dickersons home! Aiden was so excited to see his best friend, Ben, again! Ava looked so cute in her princess gear. They had a water slide for the kids and the boys loved it. I think Kaleb would've kept going down it all day long if we'd let him.








The birthday princess!


After the party we went home for a little rest and then went over to Hessel Park for a family picnic with Mason's family. We were all worn out by the end of the day and the boys were SO ready for showers,baths and bed! But of course, it was worth it!
