visitors!!

My cousin and her husband/ Thomas' best friend came to visit us a few weeks ago. The kids loved it because their kids are the same age as ours.

Tyler and J playing with the transformers game. Tyler likes to be around his boy cousins (he doesn't have very many).
Our family picture for the year. I don't really want to get a professional one done when I am this size!

All the kiddos. Tyler, J, M A, L, and Ainslee

Just a sidenote I promised my cousin I would not post their names that is why I just put letters.

4th of July!!!

We went to a really fun fireworks display for the 4th this year. There were all kind of water rides and fun stuff for the kids. Then we had a little picnic and watched the fireworks with our friends the Hills. Tyler and Ainslee really like Maggie and it works out that they live right behind us.

They were kind of tired by the end of the night!!

Standing in line at one of the water slides

We all had alot of fun I think we are going to go here next year too(hopefully)!!

Molly's wedding!!

My little sister Molly was married on June 13th. It was a gorgeous day on Myrtle Beach, SC. We barely missed the rain that started about thirty minutes after we finished all the pictures. Molly is extremely happy they have known each other since they were kids and finally fell in love.




Tyler, Lindsay(dennis' little sister) and Ainslee

The happy couple

The kids were just happy to be on the beach (they love the water)!!

My dad has better pictures I will have to talk to him to get them. Until then this is all I have.

updates

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. My little sister was married on Myrtle beach, SC That was alot of fun and then her reception was in greenville where I made the wedding cake with my Aunt Tina's help. I promise to post pictures when I can.

I stayed in Greenville for the past five weeks working with the Army. Thomas lost his job and I was trying to make sure that we had money to pay the bills without having to dig into our savings. While I was gone the kids were passed from the Hood's to the Caldwell's to Thomas and they were spoiled rotten(thanks guys). Now everyone is home and we are trying to get ready for school and the new baby coming soon. Tyler starts kindergarten in two an a half weeks. I still have to get his school uniforms and new shoes. I am also trying to work my premier jewelry business even more so if any one wants to have a show I would be glad to do it for you. I promise to post more in the future.

Dear Mom..we miss you...

Mommy,

Thursday we went on a very long ride in your van we washed it for you. Daddy had to meet with a guy named Mike somewhere really far away (Summerville). You are working still..we miss you a lot..Daddy is mean he pops balloons. You left us alone with Daddy, Mommy we thought we liked Macaroni...not so much now. We are hoping you will be back soon (Daddy says five days..but he said that last time you were gone all the time, but your not fighting the bad guys this time). Mike had a girl named Lauren with lots of My Little Pony toys..Ainslee loved it. It was a lot of fun, we got donuts with a ton of spinkles (we like Daddy now), they had cartoons on and a big pirate there. Then very yummy cheesy pizza for lunch, Ainslee liked Mike's pizza better (Pineapple and Ham, yuck!). Our favorite part was the park we went to for a big break, they had a merry-go-round and big swings..we went really high. Last for dinner played at Burger King and ate more Macaroni. That was a lot of play time! It was a long ride home, we got to watch the Bee Movie! Please Mommy hurry home..we love you..

Your Prince and Princess..

Guess What?????

WE ARE HAVING A ....................



BOY!!!!



Thats right we are having a boy. Tyler was so excited when they told us. Ainslee almost cried she is still so sad. She said that her friend Maggie is her sister. We all thought that it was a girl but I guess someone had different plans..

Fun in the sun!!

We went to the beach again and it was actually windy enough to fly the kites that my parents got the kids. Tyler loves to fly kites especially since his is a big dragon.



They love the beach so much they did not want to leave.



Ainslee's kite did not want to fly I guess hers just needed a little more wind.

Daddy's little girl.

We bought a few fun water toys for the kids we got a slip-n-slide and a sprinkler. It is so hot here so it is good to have something to cool them down.

They never really got the hang of the slip-n-slide Tyler was doing the low crawl for a while.

They loved the sprinkler too. Ainslee loves it so much it is now filled with sand!!
