Wordless Wednesday

Fairy Princess party

Cadence celebrated her 3rd birthday party on Sat. I h ad this scheduled to post on Sunday,but for some reason it did not. So this post is a little late. I wanted to have a Fariy princess party for cadence,but I did not want to over do it. I would have loved to done so much more,but she is only 3. I had my neighbor come over and paint faces which she loved and I had the kids decorate fairy wings and the boys shields. It was just so much fun to see Cadence's face light up. I love birhtday parties for kids and would over do it if I could.

sum sum summertime

Since it has been so hotside and the water feels great when you are 7 months pregnant, we have ventured off to the pool pretty much everyday. It is great having a pool not even a mile away from the house.
 Kendric is swimming all my himself the length of the pool and jumping in and doing back flips and Cadence in the past couple days has been getting braver and now she swims with just floaties on now and is even jumping off the edge now. She stays in the shallow part so I can reach her if I need to,but it is so nice to sit back and chat it up with my neighbors at the pool and not have to constantly walk around and chase after kids.
 I as well LOVE floating away in the water. I have been having major hip problems and I do not feel a thing in the water. It is great and if you cannot find me check the pool. We will be there ALOT!!
  Tommorrow or Thursday I will bring my camera to snap pictures. I am just so proud of both of them and they are growing up so fast. I love where my life is right now and would not change it one bit!
Have a great summer evening

day 4 and 5 helping with mulch and just lounging

The last 2 days we just hung out and Ryan helped my dad with mulch and my mom and I did a little shopping those days. We did the firepit 2 more nights, but the air was more humid and so it was not as pleasant. We had so much fun just doing whatever and not have to worry about anything,but good fun and good food and good memories. It is a vacation to Ryan and I because my parents entertain the kids and take care of them and we just hang loose. I love the memories we are creating at nana and papa's house. In the next few years we will actually take destination vacations,but right now nana and papa's is just fine. Hated to see it end,but it is always good to be home!

Day 4. Trip to the waterfall and firepit fun

Yikes, Kendric almost lost his footing.First night around the fire pit.One of my favorite poses.Love Kendric's wet shortsYummy smores!

We had a blast on the park and the waterfall. Kendric got right in it(with daddy's help) and loved playing in the water. Cadence was a little unsure,but went in the water a little bit.

Day 3. Aqurium

Kendric petting a shark

We had a really great time visiting the Aquarium. The kids were right at that age to enjoy it and remember it. It was super hot that day so it was nice to be indoors for awhile.

Day 2 Dave and Busters

Cadence with her aunt KristenMissing my other sister and her husband.

The quality of pics are awful,but I am getting a new camera for christmas.yipee!!!
 We went to Dave and Busters and ate a very good dinner and then had fun playing games. I just sat and watched. I was not feeling good that night. not sure who had more fun, the kids or Ryan!

Vacation Day 1 visit to nana and papa's house

Kendric was a bit smitten for Ella. The girl in the middle.They had fun trying to catch the lightning bugs.  They finally caught one!

We went to visit my mom and dad in Ohio. We went over to my friends house( Ihave been friends with her since jr. high.) to visit her and her kids and her parents. It was nice to catch up and I would never have thought that our kids would be playing with each other.
