popsicles...pools and bee stings

I guess it all comes along with summer.

I love these pictures of my girl...minus the cup of pop. She would not allow me to get pictures without it. Oh well...I'll take what I can get to capture this precious face.

Popsicles

Something else to make her happy...too cute for words!

I caught her yelling for E. She wanted her big brother to see how big she was sitting on Papa's porch.

Pools

These next pictures show just how big our boy is getting. He LOVES to swim and of course rock out his awesome WV floaties.

WATCH OUT!!! Easy's coming with the squirt gun!

Wonder why it is that EVERY TIME he gets in the pool...he just so happens to have to go #2?!?!

And Bee Stings

Ok...I had my camera out this day...taking the popsicle pics of G when Easy was running through the grass and got stung by a bumble bee on the arch of his foot. After making sure he was ok...and holding him tight for about 15 minutes...I just had to capture this face.

OUCH!!!

Well...I think he's ok now...what do you think?

More summer time fun to come...off to the beach in a week...Yay!!!!!!!!

memories in the making...

A couple weeks ago we took a trip to Ohio. My cousin, Grant, was graduating from high school and we thought...why not go down early and take the kiddos to the zoo. What a blast!!! The funny thing was...my last memory at the zoo was when we took Grant when he was probably Greenlee's age. WOW! How time flies!!! The kids absolutely loved seeing all the animals and although the sun was-a-blazzin...they didn't seem to mind the heat. There were so many cute pictures it was hard for me to just pick a few so...well...I didn't :)

So totally lovin this outfit on my baby girl...

It looks like in the pic that all the bear was doing was poppin a squat but he was actually rubbing his hiney on the tree.

Thank goodness for refreshments!

G just cackled as she watched the polar bear get in and out of the water.

E says that seeing the polar bear was his favorite part of the zoo.

Whoever came up with this was a genius! Mists of water throughout the zoo for the kids to cool off. Forget the animals...this was enough fun in itself.

Somebody is getting sleepy...

and someone else is still on the move.

Daddy! You're not supposed to be behind the glass! Hahaha

E was watching Abby get her face painted and decided he wanted a tiger for himself.

This was the last picture I got...she did two dabs of paint on his eyes...he freaked out and rubbed it all down his face. So...

Daddy had a good idea...lets just do a tattoo on the arm. That worked out much better.

I think someone has had enough!

Yep...she was asleep before we even reached the van.

Here are some shots from Grant's graduation party...

This makes me wanna cry.

So excited we will get to see more of Grant because he will be attending UC for the next four years...Yay!!! I love them all so much and pray one day soon they move closer...please!

I am so unbelievably proud of my baby cousin! He is becoming an amazing man.
