Painting at Sarah's

It's Saturday and today Ella and I went over to our friend Sarah's house to paint birdhouses while Mark and Daddy went to get their hair cut. We had a lot of fun!

4th of July

It's been really hot and dry, so our city along with many surrounding cities banned the use of fireworks. Because of this and the 4th happening mid week, we decided to stay home and have everyone over to cook out and swim. It was a fun day!

Here are some shots of the kids playing with their ELEVEN DOLLAR sparklers

Saturday at Burgess Falls

It's the 75th anniversary of TN state parks and today is also a butterfly exhibit. So far here are some pictures Lily took and I took of Lily :)

My birthday present from Jim

I'm not the only one who loves my new present. This gift is fun for the whole family. The kids are already experts.

Tournament weekend

Marks season is officially over. He lost the first game in the tournament. He had a great time and that's really all that's important at this age.

Kids are having fun watching camila give the dog a bath and playing with the water hose. This has been a beautiful day.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Swimming Saturday

Memorial weekend has started out very hot. Perfect day for the pool! I didn't get a chance to take pictures the first time, but luckily I had time the second go around. 8:00 pm and we are still in the pool - could it be any better?

Going to attach a video in another post.

Birthday night Fun!

We took Mark to Chuck E Cheese's for his birthday yesterday. I am still on sensory overload, but the kids all had a great time! 

Some pictures can be found HERE

Here are two videos of the kids in the ticket blaster at Chuck E Cheese's. :)

Happy Birthday, Mark!

Happy Birthday to one of the sweetest little guys I know. 

Your smile can brighten up the darkest room. You have such a good heart and you're so happy all the time. You keep me on my toes, but my morning wouldn't be complete without a hug and a kiss from you. You make my day happy just by being you. I love you. Mommy

 Happy 4th Birthday, Sweet boy!
