Howard County Fair August 2011

Spencer liked the soft, fluffy bunnies.

Holy cow, what are these things? The kids weren't too sure about the chickens and the roosters because they were so loud.

Fluffy chickens are silly!

I attest that no eyes were poked out this year by little hands.

Phew, it sure is hot!

I have a big tractor!

This feels weird on my feet but I kind of like it!

This funnel is so cool!

Kate really liked the mama pig and her little piggies.

Rainy Day in August 2011

Daddy let the kids play on the deck on a sunny but rainy day. Kate loved it and didn't care one bit that she was getting wet.

Spencer, on the other hand, wasn't too sure (even though he loves taking showers).

What should we do on a rainy day??? Why, we should play Scrabble!

Hmm, is this a word?

Misc. July 2011

Kate and Spencer love to play on Spencer's bed. They usually jump and wrestle until...

Spencer ends up pinning Kate down on her belly. Surprisingly, she usually ends up laughing after he tackles her.

Jump Jump Jump!

Aunt Julie was brave enough to make cupcakes with the kids one day. I think more eggs ended up on the floor than in the bowl!

Aww, Kate likes to feed her doll. A little for the dolly...

...and some for me! Phew, playing makes me thirsty!

Pool Party - July 2011

We went to a pool party at an indoor pool hosted by the Howard County Autism Society. We had a great time! Spencer and Kate both wore life jackets for the first time.





Fun in the Sun - July 2011

Hose water is so refreshing!

Time for roof ball!

Sadie plays along on her kazoo.

Aww, I love the crinkly nose!

Spencer's 4th Birthday

Spencer drew a picture of the birthday boy. I think it was wishful thinking with him counting up to 5 (he really wants to be 5 this year!).



I don't know what is wrong with this picture or the font... Kate is waiting for the festivities to begin.

Spencer plays a quick game of Zingo with Mommy before the party.

Happy Birthday Spencer! This cake might look very similar to last year's cake...he wanted the same design!

Sadie liked helping Spencer open his presents.

Ooh, what is this...more Thomas stuff?

Sadie got a present from Pat and Phil for her birthday.

More presents!
