This was a family outing to a local park that is very fun. The kids had to throw a penny in the fountain as we left. If I remember right, it was SOOOO hot that evening! I'm sure they had fun but I was ready to leave long before they were!

Lots of fun times in the backyard enjoying popcicles and fudgecicles.

Yum, look at that mess! That's why they eat these OUTSIDE!!

After all the playing, running around... and fighting, Luke was finally plum tuckered out. Naps don't happen all the time these days but I guess he finally gave up on this day. He's at the end of our bed wedged between the mattress and footboard. What a character!

Ian is turning out to be the ham of the family, never missing an opportunity to do something silly. Instead of Batman this Halloween, maybe he should be a linebacker!

And yes, his shirt rings true (it says "It Wasn't Me). Well, the opposite, actually.

The tooth fairy has visited our house for the first time! Last week Ashlyn lost her first tooth. It was loose for a couple weeks but she was scared to have me pull it. I finally coerced her to let me try real quick and out it came! The tooth fairy deposited 4 quarters under her pillow even though I lost the tooth earlier that evening! What a bad mom!!!! It was on the counter when we left for church and gone when we came home. Maybe the tooth fairly came a bit early! :) I told Ash the tooth fiary knows where the tooth is and you don't really HAVE to have it under your pillow. We were right!!
Next on my agenda for blogging is pictures of our house and the whole fam together since there are several (one in particular, and you know who you are!) who've been asking for that for MONTHS! So sorry! They're coming!!!
