Catching up......

 We have been having fun this summer.  We tried fishing at the Soda Pond at Kelley's Park.  We could see tons of fish but none of them wanted any worm food.  We had no luck, but the kids had fun.  Court was a good sport since this is not his favorite past time.

 Sydnee was trying hard to catch one!!

Cashlee was having fun just dipping the pole.  It was fun to watch!

 Cashlee and her cousin Hadlie were having lots of fun.  They both had a time eating yogurt.

 Court was so proud to catch his daughter playing horses in the kitchen!!

 Swimming in our pool.  It's so big...(wink)..but lots of fun!!

 Look at our cute kitten named Buckaroo!!

Just a catch up.....Sydnee has become a T.V. addict.  When she is not caught doing that she loves to sew and ride her bike.  Sydnee is really the big teaser around the house.  She gets that from her Dad!  Chase is a bike riding machine.  He loves to ride what he calls his motorcycle.  Oh, and how could we forget shooting Rock chucks with his Dad.  Occasionally his Mom will go shoot pop cans with him, but most of the time we shoot cups with the Nerf guns.  Chase calls his a twenty-two.  So cute!!  Cashlee loves to push her babies in the stroller.  She always has a baby with her.  When it's not a baby doll it is a kitten.  She loves to point and tell her brother and sister DON"T!!  Once and a while when Court kisses her he gets the point and the work DON'T!!  She also says naughty and no...no.. really well!!  Poor kitty's are always in trouble!

But, look at that smile....Good thing it is cute!!  I am so blessed to have these children in my life.  I am thankful every day for a awesome family!

Here was our little tribute to Courtney and the Grandpa's for Father's Day.  Court is and awesome Dad.  We love him so much.  Thanks for all you do!!

Memorial Day!!

 It is always cold on Memorial day, but I still love to get out and remember those who fought for us and our heritage.  I love to teach my kids about their Grandparents and those who lead the way before us.

 It is always fun to share it with family.

 Cashlee and Hallie so cute together!

Our little Kittens!

We have new little kittens that have come out to play.   The kids adore their new friends.  They are so precious!  Cashlee has just figured out that she can hold them.  I guess she has learned they won't hurt her if she holds them under their belly.  Of course she thinks they are her babies. 

If we can't find Cashlee...she is outside...playing with the kittens.  She entertains her self all day with them.

It looks like she is spanking the kitten, however she is very sweet with them and is petting them.

Cashlee brings the kitties to Chase and Sydnee.  This morning Sydnee got to be the babysitter.
