And the fun continues!

So the last post brought us up to the first of July....let me continue on and see if I can't get us up to September!


Keira had an absolute blast this year on the 4th of July! Of course any day she can run around with the big kids is a fun day for her! I wondered how she'd be with the fireworks, I shouldn't have worried at all...she loved them! She was doing all the oohs and ahhhs with Mommy and had a great time!

Here are a few weirdos that showed up to our little shindig....okay, maybe they're our friends!

Here's my big girl eating her dinner on the blanket with the rest of the kiddos!

Here's a shot of the kiddos showing their Patriotism! The kids had fun running around, eating Jello jigglers, throwing snap pops and we even had a few rounds of "Red Rover" with the Mommy's! I think all in all it was a fun time for everyone!

I hope I don't cause anyone to have a jealous fit after viewing this photo! Yes folks we splurged on a pool this summer! Okay, so you can blow it up in 20 mins and move it anywhere in your yard....maybe in a few more years we can get a more permanent pool! The kids sure had fun!

Please do not have a heart attack!!!!

So I have found the perfect time to update my blog...the house is quiet, no one is stirring, not even a mouse...what is this the night before Christmas!! Anyway, it's 4 AM, I can't sleep, so why not update the BLOG!!! So here a few shots to catch you up on what we've been doing over the last few months!

Keira enjoying her very first sucker! Mmm mmm good!

Keira and Mommy enjoying an extremely yummy (and expensive) brunch at Maumee Bay for Mother's Day! I love when she scrunches her nose as she smiles!


Here's Keira climbing, what she does best, as she listens to a story at Storytime!


Here she is with some of the other little ones! The little blond guy to her left, Pace, is her little man! He was in swimming and tumbling with her and to our surprise was in her Storytime group as well! She does have good taste, he's adorable!


Here is Shae, waiting to go on the field for her first game! She had a great season of softball this year...it's amazing what a year can do!


Here's Nana and the kiddo's....I think they think she is their very own jungle gym!!
Here are three of the cousins....invading Nana and Papaw's backyard!!

It's the little things in life folks! You would've thought daddy was building the house the day he installed the storm door! Ty and Keira thoroughly enjoyed watching daddy and "helping"!
So Mommy and Daddy went to Carb Day this year to have a little grown-up fun! It rained the entire day, but thanks to Uncle Matt's tent tickets we were still able to have a blast! Here's me with my Best Friend from High School on my left and my crazy girl Emily on my right! Why is her hand on my belly....does she know something I didn't yet?!?!?

Here's Don with Matt on his left and my friend Jenn's husband James on his right! Yes James does have a bottle of Boones Farm in his hand...the drink of champions! Thanks Auntie Mamie for keeping Keira that day, wish you could've been there!
Dad has Keira convinced that he is the neatest thing in the world! She adores her Nana and Papaw....you can't have one without the other!

And this....this is my nose! Keira can definitely point out every body part she has as well as what you have too! My how the time has flown by with her....I look at her everyday and am amazed at how much she has grown! She has the most adorable personality...she constantly cracks me up!

Here is Ty before his very first practice baseball game! He had a great time playing this year...looking forward to next year!

Hello everyone!!! I am here....let the fun begin! Keira joining the big kids for some fun in the sun in the backyard! This little kiddo thinks she is 8 years old sometimes...anything you can do I can do better!

Here are the girls....the boys were out there too, I must've missed them! This was also the night of our very famous Ice Cream dinner! I now get asked just about every week if we can do that again....yes kiddos next summer!

Taco Bell Nachos anyone?!?! What, did you really think my child would not like Taco Bell?!?!?!
The Magers' at a Minor League game! Go MUDHENS!!!

Daddy building the play gym! That was a fun day!!
Kennedy helping Keira try it out....it works!!

Keira going "night night" with her baby!


What a nice Father's Day photo!!

Here we are hanging out in the swing at Granny's!


As much as I love seeing Keira with my parents...I feel so blessed that she is able to spend time with my grandparents too! And I think they enjoy it as well!!!



I sure wish the babies liked Shae! She is such an awesome big sister to Keira and absolutely adores her baby cousins!


The above three photos were taken at the Indianapolis Zoo! We let the kids run through the water area they have there...they seemed to really enjoy themselves! Hi Ceili Beili....you're looking pretty cute there! Here's Mr. Keaton looking oh so adorable!!

Here's Ty contemplating his next move!

Happy Birthday Ceili Girl!! Here's my beautiful Goddaughter, fully enjoying her birthday celebration!!

Nana and Keira enjoying the celebration as well!

Say CHEESE Mamie!!

What a beautiful tiara you've created!

Look at that beautiful smile....I think she liked her bday present!
