Kate Kate is 2!

Katelyn turned 2 August 19th and we helped her celebrate her birthday at the IP Splash Park!  The kids had a great time eating pizza & cake and swimming all evening.  

Happy Birthday Katelyn! 

Parker had so much fun playing in the water.

Katelyn loves the slides...

And so does Hayden!

Sweet birthday girl with her puppy cake Mrs. Connie made for her

What a loved little girl!  So many people came out to celebrate!

Soccer!

Hayden is playing soccer this year for the first time ever.  He's so excited to have his friend Hunter on his team, the U5 Tigers!   The team is made up of Hayden, Hunter and 4 other little boys - Paxton, Leighton, Ethan & Braydan.  David is coaching this year and we have started having practices once a week.  Hayden isn't a big fan of practice, instead he keeps asking me when the "real game" is.  haha  Here are a few pictures I took at our first practice.  Go Tigers!

A Night at the Races

We always have a such a good time at the races at Red River Speedway!  The kids love watching the cars race (and checking them out in person at intermission).  Also, Mrs. Connie's son, Cameron, races out there so the kids love cheering him on!  The races don't start til 8, so it's cooled off a bit and makes for a nice night outdoors.  Here's a few pictures from our last night at the races. 

Kelby LOVED Parker's pink headphones I got her

All the kiddos waiting for the races to start!

Parker & Mommy enjoying the races

Steph and her kiddos always take such good pictures!

And the daddies always have fun visiting and having a few beers

The kids were so excited when Cameron won his race!  Mrs. Connie even got them out on the track to have their picture made with him and his checkered flag.  What a great night!

Family Fun Night

We got a little (and I mean a little) rain in August and it actually cooled the weather off one night!  (Cooled off meaning NOT in the 90-100 range)  haha  We took advantage of the nice weather and went to the Plex.  We had a great time - so thankful to have great family to spend time with!

Hayden is one happy boy anytime we go to the Plex

Hayden said we needed a picture of "the golfers"

Fun on the boats

Kate loved the boat, but HATED the lifejacket!

Parker preferred the rides inside to those outside

Swimming with the cousins

Parker is too brave this year... thinks she can just do whatever the big kids do!

Hayden and Katelyn floating

Kate just had to wear Hayden's goggles

Who knew a float could be used OUTSIDE of the water too?!?!?!

Katelyn has become quite the little fish this year!

Best friends

Sweet Phoebe.... Hayden just loves this dog.  He lays on her and he tackles her she takes it all.  She's such a good dog (well, except for her excitability when people come over.. haha)  Hayden was playing with her the other day and asked me to take their picture.  He said she is his best friend (-:
