Saturday evening.....

Zach was able to climb this tree and it was killing John that he couldn't figure out how he did it.

He did eventually figure it out.

Cait being a monkey.

Owen in a tree..........again. Did he really break his arm?

Today we are off to a farm to see a tractor show! Should be fun and I'm sure I'll have lots of pictures to bore you all with!! It is FINALLY cooling off here and it so nice. I am ready for the change of seasons.

happy Saturday

John resting.

not even a broken arm can stop him from climbing trees.

all the critters

Zach

Went to the small arts festival in Piedmont Park this morning and had a good time. Cait is potty training and has been diaper-free at night all week with out a single accident! She went diaper-free to the festival and even told us she had to use the potty!! We may be out of diapers soon!!

It was bound to happen...

We have our first broken bone...................................




and the honor belongs to Owen. Right before I picked him up at preschool he fell and got a "buckle fracture" on his left arm. Poor guy. Grandma and brothers picked out a new fire truck to cheer him up. He fell asleep with it. He will get a hard cast in a few days.

just a couple random pics

happy Tuesday!

Our Saturday.....

We decided to play cars at the land trust before it got too hot.




The boys had their first rock climbing class and LOVED it! They can't wait to go again.

Wow!

Ok, usually Cait gets the 'bad girl' award when it comes to sleep..........................today she gets the 'good girl' award! For the first time in almost 20m I got to sleep ALL night!!!!! wow! What do I do? How exciting is this? She is even STILL asleep!!! I now forgive her for napping for 20 min yesterday and still being up until 9:30 pm! Yea Cait and thanks Cait!!!

Happy Friday!

Cait and I were watching the clouds in the sky and she felt she needed to also show her babies!
She is a busy little mommy.

John and Owen each had a friend over (Zach went to a friends)

Catch of the day!

A good day was had.

Daddy's birthday peach crisp....nice candle!

Pictures are from Monday. We celebrated Bill's birthday breakfast Sunday morning with presents and Monday evening we had his birthday "cake".... we decided to drag out the fun! We went swimming Monday, the last day of 'swimming season'. It's still so hot I wish the pool was open for a few more weeks. O had a great first day of school and is sad he doesn't get to go again today. Cait will be happy to have him home! Off to wake the troops for school.

Owen's turn

O and Cait
and Daddy
In his classroom
reading with the guys.

Today was O's first day of preschool. He was so happy to be back at school. Cait did not want him to stay and I even got a little teary eyed. He is happy and I was able to mop in peace.

He's back!

Nothing like a good tree swing!
Grandpa helps Cait fish.

Billy got home yesterday! Yea! I got a good night's sleep! today we are going to a picnic at a friend's from school - should be fun and not too hot. So good to have Bill home.

happy friday

Owen was very proud of this track which he built "all by myself"
We took Grandma and Grandpa to our favorite pond.

Thank you G and G! Grandma and Grandpa brought dinner and helped getting the critters to bed! THANK YOU!! Billy gets home tomorrow.......yea.

thank you

Thank you Uncle mark and Aunt Tara!

night

So, after dinner as I was doing the dishes Zach decides to make himself a salad. He drowns it in Ranch (we have a chat about using a bit less next time), eats his fill and is called into another room. No sooner has his bum left the seat and Cait is crawling into it as fast as she can. She sits there very quietly eating away. Girl likes her salad......didn't even mind the abundance of Ranch dressing. Strange girl.
