This was her this morning…crazy hair and all.  When we go get her in the mornings, we say, “Good morning Lyla!  And good morning to your hair!”  It is OUT. OF. CONTROL.  until we get the spray bottle after it!  :)

Last week

Looking back at last week, we had lots of fun!

We went to The Great Wolf Lodge last Sunday and Monday. 

The kids had a blast!

Emmy is quite the water kid!  She LOVED all the slides and just played and played in the kids area.  :)IMG_3567

Silly Girl!!

 

Tate loved the slides too and enjoyed the lazy river with Daddy.

Lyla was the little dare devil!  She went down every slide she met the height requirements for and a few more!  :)  She would climb the steps, wait for the guy to give her the thumbs up and walk over to slide all on her own by the end.

I promise she was having a blast!  I got quite a few stares from worried moms standing around, but after she went down they just laughed at her reaction when it was over.  She would get up and say, “gain!” (again)IMG_3559

This was the look I got when we were having to leave!

 

We also went to the fountains by Purple Cow with some friends on Wednesday.  Again, Lyla LOVED it!  The older kids were hard to catch on camera, but I thought these were cute of her playing in the fountains

This is the look I get when she sees the camera.  Just imagine her saying, “cheeeeesseee!”IMG_3574

Then we met some friends, Lauren and Sarah with their kids, at Cold Stone for some ice cream and play at the little houses on Thursday.  I borrowed this picture from Lauren’s blog.  (I forgot my camera).

Bryce, Avery and Lyla

Bryce and Lyla are in the same Sunday School class.  It is funny how they always recognize each other and just smile.  :)

(The big kids were too busy playing!)

On Saturday, Tate’s t-ball team finally got to play their last game.  Thanks to all the rain, our season was “extended” for 3 weeks.  :)  Before the game, they had pictures taken.  Here are a few I got on my camera.

He was so proud of his trophy he got for the season.  We are very thankful for the patient, encouraging coaches this first year of t-ball.  It was a great experience for us and Tate.

Coming in the next few weeks…

Pre-School graduation & Emmy’s BIG dance recital!  :) 

Stay tuned…

Fun in the sun…

The kids are loving the new backyard.  That is where you will find us most of the time.  :)  Today they enjoyed the sprinklers and the Gator…

Family Night…

Since it was the 25th anniversary of the Cowboy Gathering, they had a Saturday night dinner for all the wives and kids.  DSCI0100   DSCI0127

The girls enjoyed the music.  Red Steagall and Allison Kraus sang that night.  Notice how filthy they were!!

And I got some dancing in with Tate

Lyla had not taken a nap, but she was a trooper.  Boots danced with her for a good hour trying to get her to sleep.  She stayed up the entire dance and the drive home.  This girl loves to party!  :)
