Circus

Grandma and Grandpa came in town and took us all to the circus. We had awesome seats right in the center on the bottom floor. The kids had so much fun and it still amazes me how they get all of those animals to do all of those tricks (especially the elephants). Mark got called down to start off the circus with the clowns. He had to play musical chairs. It was hilarious. We have a video of it that I will try to post later.


The kids love to wait on the front steps for their Grandparents to come. It is really cute how excited they were to go but I was about to die of heat stroke waiting out there.

Waiting outside for them to let us into the circus. This was our attempt at a family picture.

The kids had so much fun meeting all the circus people. I thought they may be scared but even Hayley took some pictures. No smiles but at least she stood up there.

Grandma and Grandpa spoiled them rotten with snow cones, cotton candy, and fun circus toys. What more could a kid ask for?

This has to be one of my favorite parts. I just think it is so crazy!

Hayley's braids

We went over to a friend's house to play last week and one of our friend's braided Hayley's hair. It was so cute and made her look so big. She was so excited to have her hair done. She couldn't wait to show Daddy. I am practicing but it might take me awhile to make it look this cute :)

Concert Groupies

My mom's group at church has our yearly fundraiser yesterday, a Joe McDermott concert. I had taken Peyton to see him a lot but we haven't been since Hayley was born. The kids had a blast and I forgot how much fun a Joe McDermott concert is. If you haven't taken your kids you need to go and buy a CD. We listen to him everyday.










Peyton and Hayley waiting patiently for the concert to start.

The kiddos also got balloons from the clown. Peyton was excited, his was Spiderman. (As of right now that is what he wants to be for Halloween.)

And of course he chose a spider.

So Sweet

Sometimes the kids are so sweet to eachother. I love it!! These times have been happening more often but are usually over before I can grab a camera.

Here are my two babies watching Scooby Doo together. Hayley is not really into watching T.V. so that is why I thought this was so cute!

More Progress

This weekend Mark worked really hard on the built in shelves on the outside of the new baby's room. Here are some pictures!

We still need to put the shelves in (they will go where Hayley and Peyton are standing.)and paint.

The kids thought this new addition was awesome. Not sure they will like it as much when the shelves are in.

Port Aransas

We had an awesome family vacation to Port Aransas. It was so nice to spend some time with
everyone. The kids loved the beach and Peyton had a great time swimming in the ocean with Daddy. Hayley even took some turns on the boogie board. Pappy Jack and Nana have some pictures of the beach that I need to get from them. ( With 2 kids running towards the water I didn't think I would have time to take pictures.) But, here is some pictures of our trip. Thank you Pappy Jack and Nana for such a fun trip. We missed you Cade!


Hayley's hair is now long enough for pigtails. I love them!

One of the stores had this giant shark in front of it that you could walk into it's mouth. Peyton loved it! Hayley was not a fan.


Peyton loved these tall guys so we got a picture with them.

Aunt Lacy and Mama Pat (Peyton absolutely adored Mama Pat and was by her side the entire trip)

Pictures

We got some of our friends together and had a photo shoot with an awesome photographer. She was so great with the kids. Here is the link to the pictures

Hayley was in a horrible mood, I think she was so exhausted from our trip that she did not want to smile but she still looks cute :)
