We got a new pool for the back yard!
The kids love it
SOOO much fun!!
Just their size!
And would someone tell this kid's parents that he needs a bra???

Peek-a-boo....I see you!
Hailey & Daddy FINALLY got to go REAL fishing! And they started catching things with the Princess Rod almost immediately!!!
First fish...a baby bass!
Hailey told Gram her fish was "THIS BIG" and held her arms out as big as they could get. True fisherman in the making!
But she was quick to jump up and take credit when something was caught!!!
Tyler enjoyed watching too....
But more importantly...FOOD....he LOVED roasting
Careful...it's hot!!
No words are necessary to describe the trail of pictures to follow.....











Hailey did not like the color choices she had to work with. She wanted the "purple one" - RAVENS - so needless to say, we left without a hat for Hailey. I think any Redskins fan would unerstand. Even without a hat, Hailey enjoyed celebrating Daddy's birthday!
By taking pictures of others! This photo was captured by Hailey! It's Tyler jumping on Pappy!
She's blocked at the moment....
She got a little tired, so she decided to have a seat.

Is it that they are fun to chase, but hard to catch?
That they pop and squish in your hands?
So delicate that you must handle them soooo gently....
It's so exciting when you get a whole stream of bubbles to come out....
And then the sun hits them just right and they put off beautiful rainbow colors...


What a neat thing, to dress up like pirates and make special crafts. Happy Birthday
Even Tyler got to enjoy making crafts.
Waiting in line to ride the "horsey"


Using "teamwork" to pull a bail of hay.
Tyler is having a great time!!!
Ty Ty and Blakey Boy - Best Buds!
Several picks of the kids as animals....If you look closely you might be able to make some of them out! :-)
Hailey & Tyler! LOL That is a goat and a sheep.....Shawn actually what side of the anatomy the kids were sticking their heads out of...it is slightly questionable! LOL
Feeding the goats! Garret is really enjoying his party!!


Feeding Rootbeer & Midnight.
Fun with the parachute!
Pony race....
Looks like Mr. Aaron & Ms. Lauren are not setting very good examples to the kiddies! HAY FIGHT!!!!
Pinata time! Time to go after the candy!
Yummy...time for cake!
Garret - "Thanks for my party, Dad!" This guy is surrounded by girls! Watchout! (Dad is so proud)
I am so grateful for the wonderful friends we have and that all of our children are in close age range and have so much fun together! I can't wait to watch them grow together! All of these children are truly blessings to my life.
