For some reason I can only post 4 pictures at a time. Here are some more pics from yesterday!

The Pumpkin Patch!

Yesterday we took a trip to the Pumpkin Patch! The kids had a great time. The weather was PERFECT. The kids picked out their pumpkins, picked apples from the orchard, and had some apple cider! The girls even got to ride the horse! What a great time!

A new name...

I've decided to rename the blog! Sometimes it really feels like we're driving a clown car, kids just keep coming out! What will people think when Lainey gets here!!!!!!!

Feeding the ducks

We took a quick break to go feed the ducks and I got some great pictures of the kids! I forgot about the ducks but I think you can see the bread in Cole's hands!

Happy Birthday!

Daddy's birthday was last Sunday. The girls helped Mommy bake a strawberry cake for Daddy. We love youDaddy!

Sydney's 1st haircut!

Sydney's 1st haircut! At least her 1st in the USA!

What a big girl! She sat perfectly still for Mommy and now we have some really cute bangs!

1st day of school!

Can they really be that excited about school?

 

 

 

 

Summer!

Here are a few pictures from the Summer! I apologize for the ads but it's free that way! We are BUSY with school! So far the kids are having a good year, they're not tired of their teacher yet!

Happy Anniversary!

WOW!!!! 15 years! We had a great time today,we all celebrated by going to PF Changs! It was our 1st time there and everyone enjoyed it. I didn't have the camera with me, so no pictures. Here are a few with the kids helping Dad with the crib!

Cole parker!

Here are a couple of pictures of Cole - the LEGO MASTER! There's also a shot of him hosing off before coiming inside. He was completely covered in sand, he was pretending to be the Sandman from Spiderman 3! That boy!

A post for flowers!

 

 

 

I just LOVE my Blackeyed Susans! Neil and Haley are pretty sweet too!

Be careful what you wish for...

I hesitate in posting this but here goes. Having been without the van this week, I realize that I don't HAVE to go anywhere nearly everyday. It's ridiculous! Do we really need to "do" something everyday? NO! Now obviously a few trips to Walmart and Target would have been a lot cheaper than the $800+ it cost to get the van fixed but the checkbook speaks for itself otherwise. Why do we always need to be on the go? There's plenty to do right here at home. Does this mean I'm not going to drive the van? NO! But I'm going to try driving it a whole lot less! I'll get off of my soapbox now!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Smokies

Here are a few pictures from our trip! We had a great time! The mountains are beautiful! It was so good to get away for a few days but we are all glad to be back home. The cat survived and the house is still standing! Of course the van is in the garage, the mountain drive was just too much! But thank God we made it home safely!

We're off!

Thank God! After getting good news from Sydney's Dr. we've decided to take advantage of Dad's week off and take a little trip to celebrate! We're headed for the Smokies! We haven't been in a LONG time. Neil was only 5 and Cole was just a baby the last time we were there. We're all very excited to go! We are so thankful for all of the prayers! Please keep them coming! See you soon...

Gone Fishin!

 

 

 

 

The kids had a great time fishing! Neil caught a turtle! Sydney and I just watched and took pictures! Cole is a fish magnet! And Haley girl caught 2 fish! What a fun time for such a quick walk to the pond!
