Yes, this slide is on our back yard. Ted's mom and dad gave this to the kids. . . it is incredible. We just spent a few hours outside playing on it. It will provide hours of fun this summer! (and a good tan as well - haha).

The kids were so excited...
THANK YOU MAW-MAW AND PAW-PAW!

Aidan and Addie are buddies this week! Avery is at Vacation Bible School... this gives Addie and Aidan some time together... just the two of them. If I am not breaking up a fight, they are getting a long just great! Here are a few pictures of good moments that they have had this morning :-) They are sweet kids... just learning to share! I am having plenty of parenting opportunities lately. haha

READ READ READ....

We went to a book festival today put on by the public library out at World's Fair Park. It was such a great time (Thanks Greenes for letting us know about it). The kids had a great time (we did too). They had summer reading book clubs to sign up for. They also had the book sign up that Dolly Parton does for kids under the age of 5. We were able to sign Addie and Aidan up and they will get one free book in the mail each month until they are 5 years old (THANK YOU DOLLY!). The kids got to do all kinds of crafts. Avery made a book mark, a necklace, a puppet, she got her face painted (by me, the line was TOO long) and she got to paint a picture. Hannah Greene and her could not get enough craft time in. I wish I would have taken a picture of Aidan, Addie and Jacob Greene... they were going through the water sprinkler things out there... it was so much fun. We have to go back out there in our bathing suits. They have a great little water park out there. We had a great day! We ended our reading festival with a trip to Mellow Mushroom. We ate some pizza and salad. It was a fun Saturday. I think we got a little too much sun though... OUCH!

Dressing up!

The Blockers were over last night and Rebekah was loving the dress up clothes that Addie and Avery have. The girls dressed up and had a ball! It was so cute I had to take a picture!
Addison was dressing up like Avery's doll, Belle. Rebekah was just thrilled to dress up... she had on fairy wings at one point, red glitter shoes, a princess crown... she saw it, she put it on. It was adorable.
I had to put Addie in the sun glasses on the blog too. SO CUTE!
