In the tunnel

Every once in a while, when the sun is just so, and the kids are doing all right, the tunnel is the most photogenic place on the planet!  Here they are with Avery at Hillridge Farms!

Maggie is Following in Charlie's Footsteps... err... Wake?

She started swim lessons (she calls it swim team... but... not for a few years)!

Her teachers say she is super talented and doing great!

Charlie's First Day of Kindergarten

What an emotional day for me and Bre!

For Charlie... NOT SO MUCH!  He has been doing great.  He loves kindergarten so far, and is having a blast.  He is so sweet and so kind!  I think he's going to do great.

Happy Birthday To Maggie!

Our little girl turned 3 yesterday - and she's SO AMAZING.

Maggie is adventurous and strong.  She is brave and courageous.  She is loving and kind.  She loves to sing songs and dance dances.  She is a wild woman and a snuggly little buddy. 

She loves treats, and pizza.  RANCH PLEASE!  She loves to follow her big brother and her friend Avery, and she loves her friends and family.  She loves princesses and castles, wands and magic.

She loves her mommy and daddy, and her brother Charlie.  And we all love her, too!

Happy Birthday Magnolia!

Diving Board at the Sexton's

We went to the Sexton's for a wonderful Saturday afternoon... Charlie can flip!

Maggie can JUMP!

Charlie can.... BACK FLIP!?

At the Lake

There's an awesome lake the kids love, and Mama loves when it's not the middle of the summer (and CRAZY).  It's dark and murky, so everyone wears their floaties, but it is so peaceful early in the morning!
