.....Kiddos....

Colton got to stay the night with Aunt Robin and Uncle Matt ;-)

I think this is the perfect SUMMERTIME photo!

We grilled out Friday night with all the kiddos. Rachel and Miss Raina joined us!  We had a blast!

Baylee and Kaylee wanted to sleep in a tent....I let them stay in it until about 11:40 then made them come in.  Why all of the sudden are things too dangerous for my kids but 15 years ago they were perfectly safe for me ;-)

Mattison drove Colt all day Saturday!

Colton got sick Saturday ;-( BUT we will make up for it next time!

Hurry and come back to play with us lil' man! We love you!! xoxo

we found her a J.O.B. at the age of 10

Photography...and if ya need one....

i know a lovely, adorable gal for the job ;-)

well Baylee has taken an interest in photography. 

she is just a lil gal makin' memories and capturin' each moment with a snap!

I have to say she has a heart for it and amazes me at time ;-) 

here are a few recent pictures that she has taken!

sorry for the kind of blurriness....i enlarged after on my computer and I am not sure what happened

have i said we LOVE the park....

weekend fun

We started our weekend at the ball field Saturday ;-)

this gal loves her some softball ;-) and i love seeing her play

Awesome group of girls

I left the games early to take Mattison to one of her little buddy's birthday party!  Mattison generally misses out on a lot of birthday parties.  We are changing that now that she is older and knows that she wants to see and play with her friends just like Issy does!

Happy Birthday Sadie!  Thank you for inviting us to celebrate your special day! 

The party was perfect ;-) Kiddos had a blast!

I think ive said it before im not the cooker in my family......so when i got married i had alot of learning to do.i have to say ive come a long ways...i can now make more than a grilled cheese ;-) matt - the sweet hubby he is - says im too hard on myself and that everything ive cooked him so far is yummy. So im gonna try to make at least one new recipe a week. It going to be simple,quick and yummy. We are so busy to be cooking for hours during the week. This week i tried taco pie.... it was YUMMY!! Taco pie 1 frozen pie crust 1 lb hamburger meat 1 can refried beans 1/2 jar salsa or taco sauce (i used salsa) 1/2 onion 1 pack taco seasoning 1 cup crushed tortilla LOTS OF CHEESE Cook pie crust as directed. Cook meat with onion and taco seasoning as directed on season pack. Mix can of beans and salsa together. Layer pie shell with 1/2 bean mixture then 1/2 meat, layer all the crushed tortillas and 1/2 cheese. Repeat layers and finish with lots of cheese ;-) *notice i am a CHEESE LOVER* I swear I could eat cheese and butter on everything! Baked to melt cheese. Eat.eat.eat! Super yummy ;-) Top with sour cream, lettuce or any yummy ideas you have ;-)

.......LONG Weekends are what i love in the summertime......

Two of her friends stayed the night with us and we went to Dollywood Splash Country Sunday!  I love that place and kiddos do too.  What I didn’t love was being in a bathing suit walking around ;-( I need some major work! Why is it that 8 years later and 2nd baby things just don't go back on their own! well at least not for me ;-)
