Cute Faces

I talked Aaron into shaving! Surprisingly, the kids didn't seem to mind much. Aaron, well, that's a different story. He's already growing it back!!!Bailey enjoying a concert in the park. (Tongue out, as always. We wonder if she's part snake.)

Playin' with the cousins

A beautiful day at the park with some cousins!
What else would Aiden do but climb and run around on the big, boo-boo making rocks?
She loves the squirters this year!
A silly little face from a silly little Peyton!

Messy hair on a happy Ethan!
More climbing...
I NEED MORE MOMMY!

4th of July



The day started out with some fun down in Ada at the parade. Olivia, Skyler, Jake, Ethan, and Peyton rode in Pa's Mustang with Lauren and threw candy out to the kids. Aiden was the only kid raking in the candy and Uncle Chris gave him more than he needed! Olivia had a great time riding in her first Ada 4th of July parade!
Then we headed down to the rides and games before heading to Grandma and Pa's house for a BBQ. It was a great day, except for all the mosquitoes!
The five of us headed back to Rockford for the fireworks and Bailey loved them! She watched more of them than Olivia and Aiden did! She's such a good baby!
Josh and Chris
Even Cassidy got a hamburger!
Brother and Sisters!

Visiting a Farm

We spent an afternoon on a farm a few weeks ago! Lauren's boyfriend, Jeffrey, has family that lives on a farm filled with horses, sheep, cats, chickens and much more! Olivia had a blast, but we missed having Aiden and Daddy there!
She needs some cowgirl boots on!
Of all the animals there, I think Olivia liked the pregnant cat the most!
Ethan on a horse!
Jeffrey took Olivia for a ride! She loved it!

Summer is oh so fun!
