Finger Sucker

  

He's too old to suck his fingers, but isn't he so dang cute?!?!?

Cousins

We were going to send this to Nana and tell her we loved her.
It never happened.  Sorry Nana.  We love you!

Gabbi and Thomas are at our house for the next few days and then we leave for vacation.  Their Mom is on Cursillo this weekend, their Dad has a lot to do to get ready for vacation (including mowing for Papa and grocery shopping for us all), and we need Gabbi to watch the kids tomorrow while Adam is at football. Sure hope these kids can stand each other for the next week.  Fingers crossed Adam and I can handle four kids!!

Amelia is in love with her big cousin Gabbi.  She had to have a headband in just like her this morning.  Gabs is going to have a shadow all week I think!

Washing Briggsy

It's so hot out and let's face it Briggs is a little stinky.  Daddy and the kids decided to scrub Briggs down and cool him off.  Alex said it was 'super duper awesome!!' playing in the water.  Daddy even sprayed them down with the hose.  It was straight to the bath tub after the fun, even for Daddy!

Not Now!!!

Alex started complaining on Sunday night that his throat hurt.  Nana had said Alex was kind of grumpy and didn't eat much while he was there.  We decided we wanted to get him checked out ASAP, as we don't have time right now. . .  we're headed to vacation in a week!

Sure enough Alex tested positive for strep, and so did Amelia!  Let's get this antibiotic started and kick these germs to the curb!

UPDATE:  Thomas David also has been diagnosed with strep!  BOO!  We should be good to go for vacation though!

A Night Out

 

The kids are at Nana and Papa's house while we are in Bloomington at a wedding.  Daddy's co-worker Nick Beard got married today.  We had a nice little 24 hour get-away with our good friends, Aaron and Liz and Paul and Hayley. Fun fun times!!!  Thanks Nana and Papa for the little break.

Eating breakfast at Nana & Papa's house.

Pool Party

Alex kept telling us he wasn't tired.

Today we headed down to Bunker Hill to visit the Manar family.  It's been a very long time since we've had our families together.  Today was a perfect day to sit by the pool and watch the kids play while we visited!  Wish we could do it more often.

More Fireworks

This evening the Surratt family came over for a little cookout.  Then we headed to Sherman for another firework display.  It was another good one!!  Ran out of room on my SD card so these are all the pictures you get!
