The OLD and the NEW


The one and only 
Memphis Kiddie Park...
the old!
I went as a child,
my children went
and now my GEMS never miss it!


Layla loved it!!

Tegan showed some FEAR (haha) on the 
roller coaster, that does kill an adults back!!

The train is always a must...
My sweet Sarah Rose is TOO TALL for most rides~
but that only meant she was going to CEDAR POINT
with all the BIG KIDS in a few days!

Constant partners... Molly and Mya

Me and my bug!

Papa got busy on the NEW of this post...
KUBB
All Bri had to do was mention it to her dad...
"We play this game at the lake, Dad, you should make one"

So he did!

Cayden and his buddy Layla found their way to the woodshop!
They found Papa and Tegan hard at work~
So they got busy too!
Mya got in on the action as well.


Hours of fun!
Looking good~ Rick stops by for a quick visit.
The finished product~
Boy was this game fun...
except for the power of the WILL TO WIN
(Boy are my kids competitive!)
Look out~ 
These sticks can hurt you~ but by all means, 
GET THAT KING!
Look it up and try it!

We went to Beckie's for pizza and fun!
We waited for Danny to make it in from Breckinridge!
All smiles after the long drive home with...
The Funky Komadina
and her sweet older sister
Kayla!
Now all we had to do was wait for Bri and Cyle!

SMILE!

The hot days of summer...
We spent them together in the pool!
Tending little ones in the water~
Sarah teaching Mya to kick~kick~kick!

Molly watches and get ready to run and jump!



The weather was so hot that we had to live in the pool~
Temps in the 90's the entire week family was here.
Thank goodness for the pool!
These kids would swim all day long if we let them!

Little fish sliding through the water...
I did manage to get them out long enough to take some pictures!
I cannot believe how big my gems are getting...

Look here everyone....
SMILE!
My girls are darling...
My boy is just adorable!

Mya and Layla really loved each other!

Cayden wanted in on the hugging action too!
What a love!

I did have to bribe them to smile big...
Twin baby dolls and bottles did the trick!

Kiddie Park tomorrow!

Little Gems...It's the small things that matter!

My Colorado Kids 
came for a visit!
Tegan, Kelley and Layla flew in,
and Danny drove with his pups!

What a few weeks we have had!

My sweet baby gems, Mya and Layla got to spend some time
playing together!  Layla kept calling Mya "CAYDEN" and no matter
how many times we corrected her...

Layla Lynn
Growing before my eyes, this little GEM is almost 3~
She is vivacious, witty, and oh so fun to be around!
She is a singer, like Meme and still loves her princesses!


Mya Brynn
This little GEM will be 3 August 17th and could not be any sweeter.
Mya is a smart one.  She is shy at first but will soon warm up to new faces!
She is clever, sensitive and oh so sweet!
Mya enjoys playing with her babies!

Two peas in a pod, 
These two keep things lively...

Such a funny girl~
Layla will tell you...
"It's CRAZY"

Precious Princesses

Mya loved having Layla around!
She loved to "mother" her...since she 
is so BIG!!

Can you just imagine the fun we had watching these two?

NEVER A DULL MOMENT!

IT IS THE SMALLEST THINGS THAT CAN MAKE YOU
THE HAPPIEST!

Hold your place in time~



Sarah Rose...

Will you stop
and hold your place in time?
I am enjoying 7 and 3/4,
and I think you are too!
You will be 8 soon~
I can only imagine the year ahead!
I hope you keep this smile all year long!
I love you Miss Rosie~
Don't you ever forget it!

A FOND FAREWELL...and We catch the Fever!

Beckie and Vanessa have Molly Hayes over for 
a farewell lunch and swim~  Molly had her neice Lucy, 
and nephews George and Xavier!  Sarah, Molly, Ainsley, and
Ethan enjoyed making new friends!


Molly is off on new adventures and we wish her
the very best!  See you in Costa Rica Molly Dolly!



Guess where we are off to?
On Saturday, the 13th, Beckie Bridget and I went to the 
airport and picked up Tegan, Kelley and Layla~
After quick hello's and kisses, we took Kelley with us and
sent Tegan home with Layla!
Us girls were ready to see Justin Beiber~
A friend had been trying to "give away" tickets to the concert~
the company's court side loge, no less, so I said YES!

We BELEIVE...
well, not really but we were happy to be together~
The little girls in the crowd were screaming and
I think my big girls got caught up in the frenzy too!

Kelley had spent the night before in Denver with her best
friend Chelsea, who painted her nails with 
Heart
B
Look how close we were!
Two little girls in front of our loge told my
girls that
 "Justin wasn't interested in girls your age...
he prefers younger girls"!!!
They tried to trick us with trivia questions to see
who knew more about Justin... 
They won~
But my girls still had a blast!

It was a fun night~
after all, girls just want to have fun!

Meanwhile, 
back at my house, Dave and Tegan where watching
SARAH
MOLLY
CAYDEN
MYA 
AND 
LAYLA

What a week we were about to have~
