Bowling for the 1st time

We decided to take the kids bumper bowling for the first time. They had a BLAST! It was the cutest crap ever and to see how excited they got when those pins got knocked down just melted my freakin heart! It only took 2-4 minutes for the ball to get down the lane, but whatever. It doesn't get cuter than this, it just doesn't.

Mamma's favorite behinds!



Man we made some beautiful kids!!!

Choo Choo - All Aboard

Today we decided to take the kids to North Lake park and ride the train. To say Grayson was excited would be a total understatement. (Son...the smile!?!?)


They asked the kids to keep their hands in the train car and that's exactly what they did.

Grayson saw the tunnel approaching and waited to enter with such anticipation. So cute!


To see these smiles on their faces was worth ever penny of the .75 cents per kid this little locomotive cost.

Family Fun

Last weekend Grammie & Grampie Morby came over for a quick visit. The twins are finally getting to the point where they really get excited about things, including family visits. It was so sweet to see Grayson and Lauren just run to them the way they did. Grayson has finally taken to his gpa and loves sitting next to him.

The girls showing off their hoola hooping skills.

We had a great dinner with all the kids and decided to grab a quick photo op. It's getting easier to have them smile all at the same time, but of course what would a family picture be without a silly pose to.


Grayson still loving on his grampie Morby.

Boy what big arms you have grampie.

Our first time eating corn on the cob. They loved it.


Mommy scored some great deals at the garage sales. Here is Lauren's new barbie castle and Cinderella beauty stand.


Time for a nap with daddy.

Daddy's turn to do Lauren's nails.

Happy 4th of July

So after our pancake breakfast, a trip to the pool and a quick stop off at the church for a baptism, we headed to the Sims for a bbq and fireworks. The weather was not very good to us and pretty much rained all night, however because the Sims have a beautiful home with a HUGE garage, we set up shop there and ate to our tummy's content. Then when the fireworks did start, the sky opened up and was beautiful night. We had a great time. Thankfully as well, the twins were not as afraid of the loud noises from the fireworks either. One year can make a big difference. Here are the highlights.


What a cute bunch of kids! (and one stinker of a boy)


Time for some grub.




After the rain storm.

Before the fireworks.

We're ready, now let's get this show on the road!
