Pictures at the baby shower

Wendy's Shower

Wendy's baby shower was last night, and it was so much fun! She had so many people come to wish her the best, and that was not surprising. Wendy, Joey, and Meghan are very loved! And we are all excited to welcome Merrin!

We are 2 1/2!

We had some pictures taken by a member of our church, and she did a great job with the kids. She spent 1 1/2 working with them! As you can probably imagine, it is very difficult to get them in the same shot and looking at the camera. I don't think we have ever had so many pictures of Reese smiling! I love the ones of Brady with his mouth wide open. He was screaming laughing at one of the toys we had. He is so funny when he is amused by something. The whole world knows! Reese also enjoyed throwing the gum balls and playing with the beads. We were impressed with all the pictures we got!

Reese's Pictures

Brady's Pictures

Pictures from Lisa

The "Evil Brady" picture is from his new saying . . . "You'll never get me, NEVER!" I'm pretty sure he adds his own version of my evil laugh to the end of the statement.

Pictures from Aunt Lisa and Uncle Bill's house!

Aunt Lisa is so incredibly talented! I was able to see her at Wendy's shower last night, and she gave me a disc of some pictures that she took when we visited for Mother's day. She does such a great job of capturing the kids' true spirit. As a mother, that is what you love to see the most. There are also some gorgeous pictures of Cameron and their amazing backyard! I also like the one that someone shot with Reese lounging in the chair in front. She chose not to stand with "the girls," so that is why the picture is crooked!

Thank you, Lisa for being such a great aunt and sister-in-law!

Father's Day

Party with the Heinz family!

I didn't have too many pictures from Saturday, because we were in the pool the whole time. Brady LOVED the little waterfall at the end of the pool. I think he could have stayed there all night!

Zoo

I think we aren't ever going to be allowed in to the little cafe in the zoo again. Brady started off our adventure by spilling my water in the middle of the area where everyone was getting their food. We scrambled to clean, obviously the staff there have vision impairment, because not a single person offered to help. They must have comprehension issues, too, because I asked for a towel (napkins weren't cutting it), and they told me no. Hummmm. We move on to pay. Brady pulls the entire tray (with drinks and food) down on top of him and Reese. The screaming begins. Once again . . . no towels. Who are these people? Well, this time I left it. I warned everyone in line behind me not to slip and fall, because they do not have towels in the cafe, so I think I saved some lives. I showed my appreciation for all their help by stripping my (screaming) children down in the middle of the dining area and changing their clothes. I almost started the diapers, but I refrained.

Altogether, it was a great trip to the zoo :) My friend Holly asked, "Do you do this all the time?"

Playing with the Wilkinsons!

Our kids had a great time with Bailey, Jae, Katlin, and Madison. It was like they have been buddies forever! It was great, because Brady and Reese are usually a little leary of new situations! Teresa probably has some good pictures of them seeing the miniature horse and petting the penguin at the aquarium, but I think they had just as much fun playing at the house!
