She likes to be naked!!

Tonight we went and bought some fireworks under a tent, which was Campbell highlight of the night!! We came home and the kids played outside and inevitably Campbell needed to get naked! If Austin has his shirt off so must she!! We set off a few daytime fireworks, mainly smoke bombs and then Campbell went off to bed and the rest of us waited until night and we did the rest! Austin is really into the fireworks this year so he had fun.

It's how we do the 4th in MO! Naked!

Sweet Babies!!

Daddy turned the hose on!!

Setting up our chairs for Dad's firework show!

Favorite New Thing!!!

So my kids just discovered showers the other day. I know that is crazy but up until now they always wanted a bath. We would offer showers, but Austin never wanted one. Well the other night Austin announced that he would like a shower and of course Campbell had to join in on the fun. It is the best thing! It is like their own personal fountain playground. In fact today I was trying to pack so I put them in the shower and they played for like 45 minutes and I got everything done!! I could not resist taking some pictures because they were so cute, but it did take many shots to get some appropriate ones to post!!! The first shower Jason got in with them, but much to my sadness he would not let me take pictures, but the 3 of them were hilarious!!

Great little cleaners too!!

"mom stop taking pictures"

T-Ball Time!!

Austin had his first T-ball game on Thusday night (on the hottest day of the year so far). Here are some pictures.

warming up!


Daddy's games go canceled this monring so he brough doughnuts home!!

The Shaw's are farmers!!!

So my dad had this idea that we should use some of the empty lot behind our house for a garden. So he and Austin have been watering some pumpkins seeds at his house and today they brought them out to plant in our new little garden. So sometime in October we can expect our very own pumpkin patch, along with a tomato plant that Austin brought home from school which actually has one tomato on it. So I must remember to water everyday and look after my newly aquired garden!!

Atlanta Trip

We just got back from spending the week in Atlanta visiting grandma and grandad. We survived the 10 hour journey both ways and we had a wonderful week. Here are some highlights!!

just starting out! Campbell enjoyed her movies with the headsets and Mom and Dad enjoyed 10 kid video music free hours!! Austin does not like the headsets so he watched the video's without sound and listened to our radio!!


We had a cookout at Jon and Doty's on Sunday!

Georgia has a wonderful aquarium that the kids loved!!!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all my beautiful friends and family!! Today was a great day not only did we get to celebrate Mother's day but we also dedicated Campbell at church (yes she is 2!!) She did great and I think she really liked being up on that stage, especially when she saw Grammy and paw paw in the audience! She just kept waving!! We are so proud of our kids and thankful that they don't belong to us, but to the Lord.

Just a funny thing!

Background:
Okay so it is Sunday morning and we are just getting ready to go to church. Amazingly we are all ready early. The kids and Jason are in the family and I walked in and moved campbell's cereal and of course she replied "Mine" This is the conversation that followed......

Mom: Campbell is that your favorite word? Mine?

Campbell: Yes

Austin: My favorite word is, virgin

Jason and I share a wondering look!!!

Jason: Where did you hear that word?

Austin: Silent Night, You know right after round!!

So all is still well in his innocent mind!!!
