Meeting Maddax and various other things...

For as long as I have been doing this blog, about 3 years, I still never remember to upload the pictures in the right order! So once again, these are not in order and I don't have the time to move each one today! :)


Liz, Matt and Maddax made the trip south to see us last weekend. It was a last minute decision and we were so excited when they said they would come. I have been begging Liz to bring the baby down and we are so glad she gave into the begging! We had a fun weekend and Maddax was loved, loved, loved. Kyle asked if we could please keep Maddax. He said he would trade Ryleigh for him....poor Ry. :) Though I don't think Ryliegh would mind. She adores Liz and Matt!

On Sunday evening we tired out our new fire pit. It was a bit hot and the bugs were awful, but we had fun!

Nothing like a hot dog over an open fire!

The kids in the new wagon. I had been planning on getting Jason this wagon for Father's Day because he has tried to get it every time we have been to Lowes lately. I have been able to divert him every time so far. But, on Saturday while he and Matt ran out to the store, he came back with the wagon!

The hot dog sticks are also great swords of course.

Men! Working on fire! :)
Our new fire pit. It looks like we had a fire all around our pit because the builders grade grass they put down dies apparently very quickly. We just planted new grass, hope it takes soon. Again, I miss PA grass! If you live up north don't take for granted how easily and beautifully grass grows. It does not work that way in the south.


The wagon works great for Jason to put the kids in the back of and let them water!

Saki came too, he loved our big backyard.Maddax hanging out in Ryleigh's stroller.
Future skateboarding buddies!
All love for baby Maddax!
Cute cousins!!I think Kyle was taped up here.....

Ryleigh was thrilled to be able to have a bath with just her and Maddax. We took these pictures so we could embarrass them later in life. :)
He is a chunk of cuteness!!The kids took turns begging to hold him all weekend long. He probably was so glad to get home and get some tummy time.

Every time one of the kids would hold him they would say "Take our picture!!" Such vain children!
Popsicle lip stained kiddos :)

Some evening bike ramp fun. Don't worry the kid on the ground is not seriously injured. :)Kyle done with his helmet.Another attempt.

Almost!
The land was not pretty on this one.Aiden and Maddax.

The boys! Add Adam to this mix and I think we may have some trouble in the years to come. :)
