A visit from the Moran's!!!

This past Saturday, the Moran's came to visit us!  We have only been trying to do this for the past 4 years!  Katie was my college roommate and she is one terrific friend.  I don't know another person as kind and thoughtful as her - I'm lucky to have her in my life!  [and her family is just as sweet as she is:)] We had wonderful day, we checked out the farm, we cooked out and the girls played, dressed up and swam in the pool.

Ainsley, Addysen, Maddie and Mary Kate

look at that... these two city girls are already climbing the gate!
looking at all those piggies!

Walking back from the hog barns...

Playing restaurant in the playhouse!

Time for dress up!
Here I asked the girls to give me their best model pose...
SOOOOO CUTE when they put their arms around each other!

 

(rock stars in the making!)
This day was so much fun!  It was so neat to see how Addy and Maddie were so much alike.  They have only played together twice before (when they were 1 and when they were 2).  Even though these 4 year olds have very different lives, they still like to play the same things, make believe the same things, sass off to their mothers and boss around their little sisters!  It was a fun thing to watch, and I hope we can do it again soon!

A day at the Beach!

Miss Addysen - This little fish barely left the water all day!

Caleb, Addysen and Morgan

Look what these mean older cousin's did to my poor little Addysen!
(...she loved every minute of it) 

Time to rinse off!

Caleb found a treasure, fish bones.... GROSS!

Ainsley loved the water and the sand!

As you can tell from this picture, Ainsley is taking steps now.
And by the looks of her face, adding sand to her diet:)

A Birthday Luau!

The end of June we celebrated Morgan's 10th birthday and Caleb's 6th birthday.  

Happy Birthday Morgy and Caleb!

Aaron and Ainsley dressed appropriately for the birthday luau!  Too bad the weather didn't cooperate!

Morgan and Addy sen
just before we arrived at the party, Addy sen announced to us (out of the blue) that Morgan has roller skates...  And we got to see them!

Time for presents!

At first, Morgan didn't know what our present was, as I had it wrapped well in ribbon.  I thought that it was appropriate that since she was turning ten, that I gave her the money she asked for in dimes:)
