Fathers Day!

Sunday we had my family over for Fathers Day! I am so lucky to have such an amazing Dad and father in law! Plus watching Cam with Kaitlyn and Colin brings me so much joy! Here we are enjoying dinner outside! One last pic...thanks Kel and Cam for the faces:) This was right before it started down pouring on us! I didnt take any other pics but we had a nice time!

Kaitlyn playing catcher!

Kaitlyn loves playing catcher position in softball. I was able to get a few pics of her in her gear but it was from behind. She did a great job!! Sad to think she only has 1 more game left!!

Grandma & Papa Willis Visit

The kids were SO excited that "farm grandma and papa" were coming to visit! They were coming to see the kids play softball and baseball! All Friday afternoon the kids asked me when they would be here:) Its too cute how much they love their grandparents!! Here they are in their pjs waiting for them to arrive! Saturday we had Kaitlyn's game. She did a great job and was proud to show off her softball skills! Would you believe in the rush of getting out the door and being late(we all know I am always on time right..hahaha!) I forgot my purse, camera and cell phone! Thanks to Kristina for taking this pic with her cell for me!
Loving their special time together!!

Practicing their reading to show Grandma and Papa how ready they are for Kindergarten!

Thanks so much for coming to visit! We had a wonderful time! The kids are always so sad to see you go but are excited that we get to see you 2x next month!!!


Quintins 4th Birthday Party

Quintin had a super fun beach birthday bash! The kids could play at the beach or the spray park. Here are the 4 amigos at the beach! Madi & Kaitlyn are quite the bathing beauties in their matching suits:)
Happy 4th Birthday Quintin! We ♥ You!

Fun at the Park with Jake!

Last week we went to the park with our friends Alivia and Jake! They live really close to this GREAT park! The moms walked, Jake rode in the stroller and K & C rode their bikes. It is a little over a mile each way. The kids decided this is their new favorite park!! Colin loved climbing on the rocks!
This bungee cord Eiffel tower was so cool!

Trying to climb to the top! I was a wreck since the top is really really high!!!


Their is a HUGE sand area too that the kids can play in!! Colin, Jake and Kaitlyn spent a lot of time digging:)


After a walk/bike ride back we had some water and snacks:) Thanks for a fun day Alivia and Jake! We look forward to going back to the park again soon!



10 Fabulous Years♥

Cam and I celebrated 10 fabulous years of marriage last Thursday, June 16th! We had a wonderful time going out for lunch at Lindys and sitting outside by the water! Our real celebration will be in August when we go to Florida for 5 days thanks to generous parents and friends!!!! We are counting down the days til we leave! Yet I am also nervous to be so far away from the kids but know they will be in great hands here with my parents! But Cam and I are in need of a child free vacation since its been 9 years since we have been alone on a vaca:) Cant wait to share pics and stories from our vacation when we get back!!

Misc. Pics

Wonder what Katie & Kaitlyn are playing with??? Yep, this little snail that they found:)
Kaitlyn thought it was so cute and her pet. She was picking it up like in this pic and carrying it all over the yard....until she dropped him and the poor snail didnt move after that:( Sorry snail!

Katie, Maddie, Kaitlyn & Colin at the Summer Reading Club kickoff day at the library:)

The kids enrolled in the club and are already filling up their reading logs! They cant wait to go back for their prizes!

Silly Tom....wonder who used masking tape to change the "M" to a "T" on Kaitlyns shirt?!?!

Our Movie Stars!

End of year Bonfire/BBQ

The kids were really excited to see all of their friends at Coco's End of the Year Bonfire Party! She has the best backyard for big parties! Kaitlyn and Colin each got to take home such a cute gift from Coco and her family. A jar for catching lightning bugs! Thanks for the adorable gift and a great time!!

Colin with his sparkler! We had a slight accident after this pic. Colin touched the hot end of the sparler and got 2nd degree burns on his finers:( We took him to the ER per the doctors request. He is completely fine now but says he never wants to have a sparkler again...he learned the lesson the hard way:)



Thanks Pauline and Paul for a FUN night!! We are so sad that all of the kids will be in different schools next year but plan to stay in touch for sure!!
