Toenails, Ribs and More!

Some fun stuff we've been doing since camping!

Mr. Cool

Enjoying her first taste of ribs. They were a hit.

She even ate them like a pro, arm wipe and all. :)

Christopher enjoyed chewing on a bone, too.

Amanda styling with Silas's hat.

Lucy getting her toes done.

She had so much fun. She kept saying "my turn, my turn."

She couldn't decide so we put soccer balls on one foot and ladybugs on the other.

Helping me blow on them so they would dry.

Showing off her peach.

Putting money in the offering at church.

Getting so big! He rolled completely over today for the first time. 

Leland, Kaden, Lucy and Christopher. Leland and Kaden are  two of the other high risk pregnancies that were in the Alex with me.  All 11 of our babies are healthy, happy and growing well. :)

Tabitha and Leland visiting us all the way from Grand Prairie!! It was so great to get to see her today and meet the little man.

Camping

Here are some pictures from our camping adventure.  For the record camping with 2 small kids was not my best idea ever.  But we did have some fun, and learned a lot. :)

Sleeping on the drive out to the campground

Christopher was also out for pretty much the whole drive out there.

It did nothing but rain for most of the 3 days we were there, but the campsite beside us flooded so it provided great entertainment for the kids. :)

Mr. Man wanted to do nothing but be held the whole time. I was SO thankful to have the Ergo!

Balancing on logs with Keri and Mari

Enjoying the puddle (or lake) next door.

Laying very briefly on the ground enjoying watching the leaves

More carrying. He did sleep really well in the carrier. :)

Having a nap in the van

Ina grilling chicken on the fire. It was so yummy!

Paige playing with Christopher

He loved all the attention

She was so good with him. He would laugh and roll around.

Enjoying his toes.

Paige encouraging him to enjoy his toes. :)

Goats at the petting zoo

Baby pigs. They were funny looking because some of them were part pink and part black.

Looking at the horses

Telling me all about the horses.

Looking at the chickens and ducks.

Kangaroo. Lucy still tells me about seeing the kangaroo and it's been almost a week.

Keri having a pony ride.

She really enjoyed it.

Riding the "horse" with Keri

Riding a pony

She wasn't so sure about it all at first but ended up really enjoying it.

Watching a movie while it rained

More fun with Paige.

All bundled up to stay warm.

Watching us try and build a fire with wet wood. Ina did an amazing job, so amazing that it even kept burning for while after it started raining again.

Showing off her apple glasses

Asleep and so precious.

Stuffing her cheeks with bananas

And very happy about it.

She was so proud of herself for climbing up there.

She picked up our stir the fire stick and got a little sooty (it wasn't hot at the time, just dirty)

Asleep on the chair! Oh to be able to sleep anywhere like a baby.

I really enjoyed getting to spend time with my friend, so I think next year we will take a day trip or two out to spend time with them and get all the good parts of the "camping" experience without the actual camping part of it. :)
