Cousins Nichole 2, Landyn 5, Kaylee 2, Courtney 3, Bradyn 4, Devon 7

I forgot my camera when we went to the pool and this is the only picture I took with my phone. Not that I would have had time to take pictures while keeping an eye on children ;) They had so much fun and this pool was only a $1 per person over 3 in the evenings making it even better. Darrin was there to help with the boys so I only had to watch the 3 girls.

Quick Trip to Troy

Enjoying Twizzlers

We left Friday morning to help move some friends

We had quite the caravan the white trailer above, the white truck pulling Gary's truck below, and their van held all/most of their belongings.

When we arrived there were 15 plus people waiting to unload the trucks and feed us supper.

We really enjoyed visiting with everyone there. This was only my second time up there, but if/when we ever move Troy is at the top of our list :)

Family Photos!

A friend of ours took our pictures the other week...she did a really good job!! These are just a few of the ones she took.

One of his toys he got for his birthday...they have both enjoyed racing them :)

Gone Fishin'

Uncle Ryan and Aunt Alicia got Bradyn his first fishing pole for his bday. One day last week Uncle Ryan took him fishing, Bradyn was very excited. Poor Uncle Ryan doesn't get as much fishing done with little boys, but he enjoys it and so do they :)

You can see the very small fish Bradyn caught just above Ryan's foot. Bradyn actually caught at least 5 fish all about that size.

Bradyn's fish as he was reeling it in.

Devon 7 caught one of the biggest fish that day.

While they were fishing they saw a copperhead in the water!!

Bradyn and Kaylee's Party

Grandma Goins

Last weekend we helped out by keeping Darrin's grandma. Friday she stayed at our house during the day since I was babysitting and that evening we took her home and spent the night and all day Saturday with her. She told me a couple times that she really enjoyed the time with all the children :)

Kaylee had just gotten up from a nap and wanted Grandma to read some books

Bradyn really wanted Grandma to play the Wii with him...she did for a couple mins :)

Then and Now

4 years ago at 4:44 pm a sweet baby boy was born :) Unfortunately due to pre-eclampsia he was 4 weeks early so he spent 2 1/2 weeks in the NICU. He was 5lbs6oz and 17.5 in.

Now he is a 35lb, 40 inch busy boy who keeps us on our toes ;)

Happy 4th Birthday Bradyn!!
