More fun celebrations...

The kids were exhausted after our 3 hour hike so they took a break on a rock wall. So cute!

Grandma and Grandpa's visit

This is my new favorite picture. I love that both Chris and Richard are laughing. We had a really great day!

We were blessed to have Chris's parents, Bryce and Donnell, come for a visit this last weekend. Here are some of the pictures that Bryce emailed me. Thank you, Bryce!

Hannah turned 3 on Tuesday so Monday night we had a little party for her. She truly was the princess!

Richard got to pick out one present and now he is permanently Iron Man. I can't get this off of him. Luckily he has a break from it at school. But that is about it. He LOVES his new toy!

Sunday after church we went hiking to the falls we went to the weekend before. This time we ended up on a 3 hour hike. It was a lot of fun and really beautiful, but Hannah fell asleep and I carried her much of the way. I was totally wiped out. But we had a lot of fun.

Thank you so much Bryce and Donnell for the fun visit and these great pics. We had a really nice time and the kids are already missing you!

Catching up

This post is from two and three weekends ago. We get some pretty major thunder storms around here. The kids wanted to splash in the puddles that were left behind. Richard and Hannah got SOAKING wet. It was fun.

Later that afternoon the rain cleared up and we went to the Strawberry Festival. It was a total bummer. There were hardly any strawberries, no fun recipes and samples, and EVERYTHING was a FORTUNE. Each ride cost $1.00. I just thought that was far too much. So the kids each got one ride and we went to McDonald's to let them play.

Hannah wanted to go on this ride so bad. Then when it started she cried and screamed the whole time. So sad.

Last weekend we did some hiking and fishing and had a nice picnic in our car since it rained at the end of the day.

We went to Petit Jean State Park and found this beautiful view. Chris had already hiked down and he looked like a groundhog sticking his head out of the ground. I love this pic.
