Barbecue Fun!

Teresa and Dennis invited everyone over
for a barbecue and games. It was a lot of fun!
It rained for a while, so we had to go inside. 
When the weather cleared up we headed outside
and played some games. Then we went to the little 
park, nearby, and played some kickball.
 By this time it had gotten dark, so we weren't able
to play too long, but it was a lot of fun! We are
planning on playing it again in a few weeks,
and at a bigger park, so I'm excited! =)

Derrick and Lowynn were twins, by accident! =)
He LOVES his bow and arrows. The arrows that came
with the set were plastic and cheap, they broke pretty quick.
So, Derrick made him some more durable ones. =)


 She is so pretty! =)

My little Batman archer! =)

Shucking some corn.
Lowynn caught a few grasshoppers, and the kids thought
they were pretty cool. 



This was after we ate, and the rain was coming down 
outside. We listened to Derrick and Stewart sing
some tunes.


The kids drew with some sidewalk chalk. They had a blast!







It was a fun night, filled with family, food, and fun! 
What more could you want! =)

Much Needed Date!

I asked my cousins if they would watch my kids,
so that Derrick and I could go on a date. It was a lot fun
getting out of the house and eating somewhere without
our kids. Not having to worry who spilled what, how much
they actually ate, telling my daughter to sit down repeatedly,
 and my food was still warm! I mean, I LOVE my kids, 
it's just sometimes you need a little breather. =) After
 we ate lunch, we went and seen The Man of Steel. It 
was a really good movie. Thanks for the fun day out, 
Erin and Stewart, and of course my wonderful husband! =)

Lowynn's 5th Birthday!

5 years ago, on July 9, this little man made Derrick
and I a daddy and a mommy! We are so thankful for
him! He brightens our day with his smile, and his
silliness! He is such a tease, and is always making us
laugh! He amazes us everyday with how smart he is. He 
has an incredible memory, I can't believe some of the
things he remembers! We love you, Lowynn!

Here are the gifts from mom and dad.
Getting his cake put together!

The birthday boy!
The cake all finished.


Some of the kids playing.


Opening presents.










Most of his guests!

Wearing his Mario mustache!
Our poor little princess got stung by wasps,
3 of them! That's what happened the last time
she got stung, too! This time she was playing over
by our wood pile, where she knows she's not 
supposed to play! Maybe she won't go over there
now, wait it's my daughter I'm talking about! =)

Shooting uncle Stewart with his new dart gun.
I love my little man!

Thank you everyone who came! Lowynn is 
truly loved! =)
