Recently...

Isn't a mini-vegetable tray a normal snack for a five year old to pick out at Kroger?!!

**Labor Day Weekend**
Labor Day weekend 2016 will go down as the best weather for a holiday weekend ever- blue skies, warm temperatures, and low humidity...perfection!

Saturday we spent the day at the pool. We knew it would get crowded, so we got there right when it opened and the boys ended up having the pool to themselves for a while. 

Sunday we spent the day on the lake with friends. Milly and Clarabelle LOVE the lake and seriously spent the day smiling. They swam, tubed, and played on the (muddy) shore with the boys. 

We laughed that it was like having an adult day at the lake...the kids spent at least an hour or more swimming to and playing on shore. Caleb took his role as the big kid seriously and pulled them on the tube a few times.



Notice Luke's hand...he could always be found next to Clarabelle that day. While he couldn't tell them apart, he said he wanted to be with "the one in the blue life jacket."

Monday we went back to the pool for another perfect pool day. The kids love the giant ball Grandmom got them!

The pool always does bounce houses and slides on the first and last day of pool season. We are missing our pool days already!!!

The boys set up a birthday party for Imperial Storm Trooper and I was invited. I even had to make a birthday card for him. ;)  

When I got home from work one day, the boys were having a huge water balloon and hose fight in the front yard. So much fun, even though we are still finding balloon pieces!

KY State Fair

We had so much fun at the fair this year! We went with Grandmom, Grandpa, Uncle Luke, and Aunt Briana, and thankfully, planned to go on an evening that wasn't too hot or too crowded. The boys basically ate fair food and rode rides for hours, so they thought it was just great!


Big brother requested a corn dog

while Little ate grilled corn. 
(This is a great representation of just how different these two are!)



Sweet treats...

Uncle Luke had the task of riding the ferris wheel with the boys.

and even more sweet treats

This year Caleb was tall enough for all of the rides he wanted. I love his fearlessness!


When Caleb wanted to ride this ride, I agreed, but after it got going, I have to admit, I was a little worried about him.


Thankfully he ran off the ride like the big kid that he is...even though his little heart was racing! He is our adrenaline junkie!
