Summer Evening Fun!






Austin loves to run through his sprinkler and with new sod it seems like the sprinklers are always on!!! Campbell was never a huge fan until tonight. For some reason she decided to get brave and just stick her head right on in!!

What to do on a Hot day?

Wash the cars!!! Austin was so excited to help daddy wash the cars and Campbell just liked walking in and out of the garage finding new things to play with. Our neighbors Mike and his little boy came over to help. Austin got a good lesson in sharing the hose!!

We had my grandma's 90th birthday party last Saturday and we had a great time. Everyone was able to come in town and it was great having everyone together. Now you would think for a 90th birthday party that it would just be family, but OH NO! My grandma has tons of friends living in St. Louis. We had about 50 to 60 of her closest friends over for this party also! How do you ask does a 90 year old have so many friends!! The secret is to have friends that are 20 years younger than you!!! It was great seeing her get to be with all her dear friends that she does not get to see since she moved to Kansas! So happy Birthday Grandma We love you!!

More Pics from the wedding!!






I am at my mom's house and I was looking at all their photos from the wedding and I thought I would add some to the blog. I was to worried about austin actually walking down the isle to take any pictures with my own camera!!

We made it Back!!












Well our Colorado adventure is over and we had a great time! Colorado was beautiful and it makes me wonder what we are doing living in Missouri. The kids had a great time! We found out that Campbell thinks every body of water is a swimming pool and want to go in. It is hard convincing a 15 month old that swimming in a rushing river is probably not the smartest thing to do. If she had her way she would have just walked right on in! Austin had his fill of waterfalls and loved just sitting and looking at the water. We also had a great time feeding the chipmunks that lived around our cabin! Austin also got to experience his first rodeo, I think he really liked it!

At the end of our many adventures in the mountains we drove to Ft. Collins for my cousins wedding where Austin was the ringbearer, Although he decided not to carry the pillow with the rings on it he did a great job of walking down the isle and looked so hansome in his tux. In true Austin form when he got to the end of the isle and was standing up with the other groomsmen he turned to me and yelled "Mom I did a good job and I'm not even tired yet" So he definitly made his presence known, but it was adorable! Here are some pictures from our week!

Whatever my big brother does....




This is what ends up happening when I leave them alone to do some packing for our trip. Austin is pretending that he is going into space and so Campbell needed to join in. After many attempts at using something else that was not big enough for her head, Austin went and got something else from the kitchen that would fit her head. Campbell loves playing with her big brother and ALWAYS has to have the samething that he has!!

When we get back I will post some pictures from our trip and of Austin's adventure of being the ring bearer in my cousin's wedding!! I'm sure I will have some stories!! See you when we get back!!

We survived the move!




So Sorry it has been a while since i have written anything on the blog! We are finally feeling more settled in our new house. At least all the boxes are now all in the garage! We are slowly or (my mom) is slowly getting all the rooms painted. She is a great painter and I am definitly keeping her busy!! Austin and Campbell just got a green bathroom last night and as Austin calls it his Apple green bathroom!! These are a few picures of the kids at the park that is near our house! Hope everyone is doing well!
