Playgroup Activities

Our playgroup has set up some fun activities for the summer. The kids made their own tie dye shirts. It was really fun and suprisingly not messy at all. They loved seeing the finished product.

Peyton loved squeezing the dye!

Hayley and Grace getting ready to make their shirts.

The playgroup took a trip to the Nature Science Center. It was really cool. The kids loved walking outdoors and looking at everything around them. We even rocked our tie dye shirts.

Tyler was great in the stroller. He loved the walk outdoors.

The kids thought this bee hive was really cool. It was but I was kinda wondering what would happen if they got out!

Hayley trying out her binoculars.

Peyton loved getting to look through this microscope at all the different bugs.

Hayley and Zoey were so cute just walking and talking the whole time.


They had this awesome dinosaur dig. Peyton loved getting out his brush and finding all of the fossils.


The boys taking a break.

Hayley loved the turtles.

Hayley checking out the fattest bobcat I have ever seen.

All of the animals there were abandoned pets. There was a coyote there. I could not believe someone tried to keep that as a pet.

Happy 30th Birthday Mark!!!

I surprised Mark with a birthday party with our friends at a retro bowling/karoke place called The Highball. We had so much fun and he was so surprised. Thank you everyone for sharing such a fun time with us! My camera battery ran out so I didn't get very many pictures. Also, the lighting wasn't great for pictures but we got some.

You had to keep your own score which we let Keri and Lacy do.

The boys striking a pose!

We had a blast bowling and the shoes just made our dresses look even better :)

Lacy and Andrew came into town for the party. We excited to get to spend some time with them.

Summer Fun

So far we have had a great summer. It has been so hot but we have managed by doing lots of time at the pool. We also have been doing a lot of movie days. Sometimes I feel bad letting them watch so mutch T.V. but hey what is Summer for?

My playgroup took a girls trip to Houston to see New Kids on The Block. We layed out at the hotel all day then went to the concert. We had so so much fun!!!

Peyton and Avery started dancing while watching Cinderella. It was precious, I had to bust out the camera.

Hanging at the house!


Making a Princess Castle


Hayley loved it and wanted to make some more castles to go with this one.

Peyton making his Pirate ship.

He was so proud!


Peyton pushing around Allie in Hayley's baby stroller. They had a blast and entertained themselves for a good 30 minutes.

The Gang!! Two of my best friends have been coming over on Friday and we have some girl time and let the kids play. The house is always a mess but it is so much fun. Baby Ryder is now a month old and all of the kids love to give him some love!
