"Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him." Psalm 127:3

Painting

Lily doesn't really get the concept of painting yet. She thinks that is something very colorful to eat. But she is learning that is doesn't taste very good. Nolan takes his paintings very serious. And they are always for Daddy to take to work.

Father's Day

Our three year tradition has been to go to a playground at Smithville Lake for Father's Day. We have a picnic dinner and then play. Lots of fun. It is great to look back through the pictures and see how much they have grown. It was a beautifully blessed day!

Elephant Rocks

While visiting Nan and Pops in June we took the kids to Elephant Rocks. Nolan loved it! He took off as fast as he could up these huge rocks. He was a bit of a dare-devil, especially on the top. It was lots of fun and I am sure we'll be making many more trips as they get older.

Where oh where does the time go???

My babies are getting so big. Even though I see them everyday I am still amazed at how big and smart they are. Nolan is such a big boy. We have complete, real conversations all day long. When did this happen? When did he grow up on me? Lillian is as rotten as they come. :) She loves to do whatever she is not supposed. I hoping that she grows out of this stage soon. But as rotten as she is she is still so precious. This morning Tyler and I walked into her room and she looked up at us and just smiled the most beautiful smile in the world. What a wonderful way to start the day! I love love love my babies so much!

These pictures are from our Day out with Thomas trip. Lots of fun. Very hot!
