Zoo Day with the Kellys

Jess and her family were in town for Memorial weekend and we made plans to meet at the Zoo really to take pictures of our kids in their matching outfits! Will played with Elizabeth and Caroline and Gaines wanted to stay in the stroller and whine most of the morning.

Waiting for our friends.




Mommy, let's get a picture in front of your favorite tree!

We could not get Caroline in picture but I love this one too! Love Elizabeth's legs crossed like she is 16.

Sweet boys!

Love this pic - even matching strollers!

Our little ones are getting so big.

Caroline and Will

Gaines would not ride the train so Will and E went on their own.

Will and Caroline were cracking up at each other in the stroller. This was the first time I really saw C come out of her little shell.


Pictures like this I will cherish forever!

Shrimp Boil

Tonight was so much fun! We headed to the Novak's for a Shrimp Boil, hopefully this is out first annual. We all do not get together enough especially with our kids. I loved seeing all our little ones playing together.

Strawberry Pickin'

We kicked off PUMC's Summer Play group with Strawberry Pickin' this morning. It was a perfect day! The weather was even pretty cool. We are so lucky to have this farm in our county. We headed out to Circle S Farms and all the kids had a blast. Will hung with our girls, Saylor and Hallee, and Gaines walked around and checked in with the other adults in the group. He is so independent. Will ate more strawberries than he actually picked.


Sheree and I don't even try to coordinate this - it just happens!

Mary Brent just followed Gainesy around - it was so cute!

One more birthday surprise


We used the birthday money that the Great-Grandparents gave Will to get the boys a Kindle tablet. We debated between that an iPad and went in this direction. They both loved it! Will kept telling Gaines it was his "iPad." Gaines was unusually patient and took his turn. We would give it to him as soon as Gaines woke up where we would not have to deal with "sharing" with Will - great parenting I know!


I think he was protecting his "iPad"

I found Will in his room behind the door.

Birthday Bowling

We are STILL celebrating and today is Will's actual birthday. Uncle Grant is hanging with us and we are taking the boys bowling for the first time. We meet at Hermitage Lanes and we walk in and busloads of kids had piled in. We were so lucky they had a lane available for us! Gaines was milking Uncle Grant for any help he could get and Will wanted to do it "his self." We hit the HUGE Arcade after bowling. Will just kept running from one to the other and Will headed straight to the basketball game.





Will did not like taking turns at all.
