Harper's Party

We had Harper's Candyland party at her dance studio.

We are the Chiefs

Reece started flag football today, we weren't really sure what to expect.  Clint is helping coach and he felt like the kids would do pretty well.  They were pretty nervous at first but then started doing good!  Reece did a good job grabbing the flags..."tackling"...the other kids.  I think that we won, we scored a couple touchdowns.  He said that he had fun and I think Clint did to!  It was hard to get pictures of him on offense, I will try better next week.  AND we have the ugliest colors possible...red shirts with yellow writing!

Harper is 5!

Harper was up bright and early (not normal for her!) to eat donuts and open presents!  She got some random gifts, but was pretty excited about all of them.  I think the biggest hit for her and Reece was a CD player and Kids Bop, we have been jammin' all afternoon!

Yes, that is a Christmas nightgown! 

She was excited to get her own bat,
 now she doesn't have to use a "boy" bat. 

They are all checking out Harp's new stuff.

Stompeez...just what she wanted!

Molly's Cupcakes for her birthday cake. She picked
strawberry shortcake.  We also got some mini
cupcakes for home!







 

School Days!!

Vacation!!

We just got home from vacation, we had a lot of fun! We did lots of swimming, it was Carson's first time in the pool.  The kids enjoyed feeding the ducks, fish and turtles bread and Fruit Loops.  Reece and Harper both got to drive Todd and Teresa's boat, they thought that was so cool!  We had an unplanned event on Thursday morning, Harper hit her head on a table and had to visit the ER.  She had a staple put in, after that she could not go under water. We went to the water park that afternoon, Reece and Clint did the slides and fun rides.  Harper and I relaxed in Lazy River. We love going to the Ozarks and can't wait until next year!!

Thank You Kane and Finley for letting me borrow your walker...Carson.

Adventureland

I went on a field trip with Reece and Harper to Adventureland a few weeks ago.  I think that the kids had a good time.  They split them into two groups, I was with Reece's group so I didn't get to see Harper on any of the rides.  I think that she has no fear of any of them, she did the ferris wheel and said it was fun.  I don't think I would get on there!  I had to go on one ride with Reece because he was not tall enough, it was awful.  It spun around and I felt like I was going to either vomit or fall over when it was over.  I became the official drink holder after that!

**my pictures are kinda lame**
