We had some fun just hanging out in the back yard the other day taking pictures. Don't they look like kids who never have their pictures taken?

We celebrated the end of Madison's soccer season with an End of the Season Slumber Party with 13 of her teammates. Here's a little bit of fun from the party.

Halloween was lots of fun at our house! We had a huge fire in the firepit outside and a huge group of kids to walk the neighborhood with! "Scary" was a big deal to Elizabeth this year so she was a Spider Countess; Madison changed her mind numerous times and finally landed on being a black cat; and Caroline was Snow White! It was 70 degrees on the 30th, but quite chilly by trick-or-treat time on the 31st!

We've had such a fun soccer season this year. Both Madison and Elizabeth loved getting to play - especially knowing their dad was on the sidelines cheering like crazy for them! Here's our soccer stars now!

We missed each of the girls who couldn't come to Girl's Weekend this year! We wanted to send a special message to you, DeeAnn, since you are so far away! Maybe you could use a message from us? May God bless you and your efforts as only He can every day! We love you!

The city was overloaded with fun friends this weekend when 7 of my ACU girlfriends and I took over! We had a great time, and as usual, did NOT take enough pictures! We had lunch with Mary Carol at her house and followed that up with lots of shopping! Most of all, we had lots of chat time which made it seem like we hadn't been apart for almost a year. I love you girls!

We visited TN for a high school reunion during the first weekend in September. It was fun to see old faces and catch up again with old friends! The seated group photo above was the same arrangement we used for a group photo at prom!

Ben, Elizabeth, & Hampton came to visit us in July, and we had so much fun! It was great having a little BOY in the house! Did he ever get attention!

Madison, Elizabeth, & Caroline were so excited to be in Mark & Dana's wedding celebration this summer. It was loads of fun, and we were all so blessed to be included! These pictures don't do it justice, but at least it might capture the spirit of the event.

Before Mark's wedding, we were lucky enough to get to spend some time with our "go to" family who had to move away this year, Amy & Kirk! We LOVED getting to see them and get some quality time together this summer. We also got to go to Emerson, Sadie, & Campbell's house to waterslide!

While Madison & Emerson were at camp, we had loads of fun with Sadie, Campbell & Ashlee. They came to stay with us for the week! I didn't bother to try and find a different picture without Campbell being blurred because, well, that is so representative of our lives right now with 3 year olds... a little blurred. Ha!

Madison made her first trip to camp this summer! She had a great time with Emerson and loved every minute of her week! We feel so blessed that she is able to attend and can't wait to hear stories of her adventures next year!

Here's some pictures from Elizabeth's first trip to Camp!

Well, another long break from blogging, and she arises again! We had some really fun birthday celebrations this summer! We cannot be more thankful for our three girlies and their amazing smiles every day. We had Camp Madison with 16 campers followed by Camp Elizabeth with 8 campers! For some reason, Madison felt called to "lounge" during the group photos. Ha! We were excited to have 3 cousins, Rylan, Catherine, & Alexandra, in town for Madison's birthday!

We returned on Tuesday from a great weekend in Tennessee. Here's just a little bit of what we experienced there...

After a LONG sleep... they arise! This was in our back yard a week ago after church.
