Prepping for Halloween!

We were going through our old Halloween costumes and of course the kids couldn't resist playing for a while. I loved watching them get so excited over the silliest things. There were a couple of priceless moments.

My big, strong Lake. Or wait, is it Lake?

He's so scary, I can't tell!!

Peach, just showin' what she's got!

This is one of those priceless moments!

Pumpkin Patch!!!

Daddy is helping Leila pick out her perfect pumpkin.

Got Mine!

Famous $4.50 ponyride that lasts about 2 minutes and

only takes 30 minutes in line to get on the dang

pony! Weeee!

These are our final picks! Can't wait to carve em.

Daddy is dazzling the kids with his amazing pumpkin toss!
Aren't daddy's so strong?


Awe, cute couple! We're happy to be leaving the
pumpkin patch! 98 degrees outside. Whatever! It's almost
Halloween for goodness sakes!

Mailey's Ear Surgery

Mailey was having a very hard time hearing us for quite a while. We were giving her nose spray and allergy medicine. Anything to clear it up. It would clear up for a few weeks but then it would get worse. Dr. Sherman finally decided it was time to put tubes in. We were so excited for Mailey, but of course we were nervous too. We knew it was a very common and quick procedure, but still.....

The morning of the surgery. We were waiting to go in.

She is trying to put a brave face on. I'm not buying it.

They were prepping her for surgery. It was all

starting to sink in. It was so hard to see her

so scared. I'm glad they let us stay with her

until they wheeled her in.

Brave Face Again!

We were there the second she came out.

Need I say more?

The Munchkins!

WE LOVE EACH OTHER, WE REALLY, REALLY DO!

Lake with his 2 favorite people, his little sisters. He's such a good big brother!

A little of the lots of summertime fun!

We love the waterpark. We spent many days trying to cool off there!

Leila-Peach having a good time!
Mailey had ear surgery so she had to wear this ear wrap! It cracked me up, half the time it would slip over her eyes! She's better now.

Daddy's love bug!
