We ran away for the week!

It is always so nice to go visit the King's.  No only do we get to visit with the sweetest kiddos but it is always a relaxing break from all the chaos at home. 

 

Miss Emma loved her Birthday dress we brought her and of course she made it even cuter just by wearing it! I made sure it was fit for  princess and very twirly!

 

These 2 could not be more excited about the arrival of there baby brother, coming in just 8 weeks! It is just precious seeing Christy pregnant and the kids loving on her belly.  I love it!

 Hard to believe this little guy right here is about to start Kindergarten in a month.  He has turned out to be such a kind and handsome little fella.  Kindergarten and a little brother coming up for him, so exciting!

 I think Christy and I are still just blown away at all we have been blessed with in life, especially our beautiful children.  Love each one of these sweet face!

Happy 4th!!!

 We had a more laid back, relaxing kind of 4th of July this year. 

 We played some games in the backyard.

 Grandma and Michelle joined us for the festivities.

 We sat back and let Britany and Gracie put on a firework show for us and enjoyed all the fireworks shot by the neighbors as well. 

 We grilled and roasted marshmellows.

I think about all the places we have been on the 4th of July.  Everywhere from Universal Studios in Orlando to the Lake in Nebraska.  Sometimes we were with family, and sometimes friends.  Big parties and extravagant firework shows or back yard bar-b-que's and fireworks shot in the street.  We have been blessed to have made so many wonderful memories as a family on this wonderful holiday. 

Girls day out!

During Gracie's "girls day out" with Aunt LaLa she attended a cupcake decorating class. It was a patriotic theme. She was shown a new decorating technique. I think her cupcakes turned out absolutely beautiful! She may have a future as a baker and I would have no objections with that! It may interfere with her career as a teacher though. I think the best part of Gracie's day was going to visit Aunt LaLa's new classroom, where she will be teaching this fall. Gracie could play school all day and to play in a REAL classroom is the best!

Summer days

 Here are a few snap shots from this lazy but fun Summer week.  I am always so happy (and a little surprised) when we get out the door early for church.  I am always even happier when we have a few extra minutes to grab a quick picture before church. 

 Daddy went out and bought a pool for the kids to play in.  They couldn't even wait for it to fill up they were so excited about it.  It was pretty cool at first but that certainly didn't stop these 2.  I think Weston was the most excited about it.  He squealed,screamed,laughed and played for hours!

 My sweet little water babies!

 We also went to a Travlers game this week.  We only lasted till the 4th inning before the babies decided it was time to go, but I have hope that we can make it till the 5th inning next time!

Tim's 33rd!

Well you are certainly never to old for a Birthday party!  We celebrated Tim's tonight with a few friends and family.  It was a lot of fun and I think he was pleasantly surprised with his cake.  I love you honey!  Happy, Happy Birthday!

A little of this past week

 I caught this sweet picture of the girls one evening just doing what they do naturally, looking so beautiful and acting so sweet!  Well . . . they act sweet most of the time any way!

 We had to make a quick trip to Papaws one day this past week.  Gracie was having a play date with friends, but Madison and Weston sure got lots of love from Papaw.  Weston has become quite curious around Papaws house and kept Tim I on our toes while we were there. 

Little Miss Madison just lying around chewing on those fingers!

A night out

I grabbed a few pictures before we left the house tonight.  Miss Madison would not cooperate, but still looked adorable anyway.  I will take 2 out of 3 children looking at the camera any day, especially when they are all happy.  Looking at these pictures I can't believe how quickly they are growing.  Madison is 5 months, Weston is 18 Months and Gracie is 7 now! 

Until next time!

 A few quick pictures before we leave.

 Our 3rd Annual "Suiter-palooza" has come to an end.  More memories made and more pictures to add to the album.  We are so blessed to be able to gather each year and spend this time together.
