Into the Closet...

Yucky weather equals a night in the closet! After watching the storms for about 30 minutes, and finally hearing the sirens, we decided it was time to head to the closet. Caiden thought it was a fun camp-out and Ashlyn fell asleep-piece of cake! We were only "under cover" for a short time but decided to keep the kids in our room overnight because another round was on the way! Caiden's wishes came true-he finally got to sleep in mommy and daddy's bed for the first time! No damage done and we were all safe...except for the continued beating to our roof which is in the process of being replaced from a previous storm. Boo.

Busy Day

First Stop: Addi's 5th birthday party at Going Bonkers. Someone summed it up perfectly...McDonald's on steroids! The kids had a blast and played for 2 hours nonstop!

Happy Birthday Addi!

Addi and Ashlyn (trying to smile?!)

Caiden & Austin and the birthday girl with her friends!

Second Stop: Swimming with Austin! Even though it was hot outside, the water was freezing! Way too cold for Ashlyn so I sat out with her (darn!) The boys jumped right in and although Caiden was a little timid (it was his first time in a pool since last summer) he did great and showed a few of his skills from swim lessons!

Ashlyn got her first shot at a "teething" biscuit and as soon as she realized it tasted like a cookie, she was in hog heaven! Still no teeth, but the girl is chewing on everything! Maybe tomorrow!

And we're out! No nap and constant playing = one sleepy kiddo!

Lake Texoma

Our weekend trip to Lake Texoma was amazing! It was pretty cold in the morning hours and through the night be perfect weather Sat. afternoon and Sunday! We loved our camping spot right off the lake and had so much fun collecting huge clam shells and fossils along the rocks! I absolutley love being outside with the kids and spending time in our little camper!

Ashlyn Is 7 Months!
