Backyard storytime

Summer

Somebody is very happy to be outside!

This one is happy too but I'm not sure how we got two totally different children- this one hates the camera!

batters up!

drawers down!

When she finally poses she looks like a lion with that huge mane.

Out in the woods

Rowen enjoying the leaves. We went to pick mushrooms and the girls had so much fun exploring.

Sawyer trying to break a stick on a rock. She discovered her strength on this outing!

Examining the stick.

Rowen found some bugs and couldn't get enough of them.

The whole family looking at the camera, except Guster, that is a pretty amazing feat!

Scienceworks

The girls at science works.

Sawyer picking a dandelion. She wouldn't let go of her lunch box!

Still holding the lunch box!

Rowen making a wish on her dandelion.

Sawyer really enjoyed the safety glasses

Sawyer trying to do the bubbles and still wearing the safety glasses!

making wishes never gets old!

Rowen's 3rd Birthday

Ok I know Rowen was born in March and it is now May. A little late on the blog but life is flying right now and I'm just trying to keep my head above water! Everyone says these years are crazy and fast, I guess I never realized how true that really is! 

Rowen had a double birthday party with her friend Madison. The theme was Tinkerbell so my mom made her a Tinkerbell outfit and of course she loved it. This is her trying it on for the first time.

Telling Grammie thank you and giving a quick smooch.

Madison, the other birthday girl, also dressed as Tinkerbell.

Rowen's complete Tinkerbell outfit but we don't get a smile like Madison because my child refuses to look at the camera! Oh well.

Madison's cousins did face painting for the kids and they loved it!

Katelyn, Madison's youngest sister. She is the youngest of four girls and sat contently in this stroller! I don't make children like that!

Christi and Eve with baby Emmett in the belly. Christi used to watch the girls while I slept after work. She is so great and we miss her but baby Emmett needs to have his momma.

Ryan and Campbell Allred

We had the birthday party at the church and they let us use their jump houses. So much fun but lots of chaos and crying. This is a few of the boys rolling out of the house.

Eve, Rowen and Avery

I'm a bad mom because I think this is the only picture of Sawyer. She loved the jump house and we were  impressed with how brave she was. Yes this is a wall that she climbed up and then rolled down the other side!

We had a lot of fun and can't believe Rowen is already three!

Miller-Allred Hike

Sawyer hiking down the trail by lost creek lake. She is very excited about her leaf!

Campbell Allred just taking a little break with Ryan and Shasta in the background.

Rowen and Avery love to hike and especially love to sit on the ground and hit each other with sticks, leaves, etc. 

In this picture they are cracking up at each other. Any little thing done by one of them can cause the other to burst into laughter! I'm not sure what happen to our little babies? They are growing up too fast.

Dads and their daughters posing for a pic.

The girls throwing rocks toward the lake because of course it is too far for them to reach.

The water looked beautiful the whole day!

More Hamper

Who would have thought the hamper would be such a hit! The girls played in this for probably an hour, in and out they went. And of course they filled what little room they had with books and babies. It is so fun to be a little kid!
