Happy Birthday Daddy!!

It was a low key birthday and the kids enjoyed giving their gifts of Transformers figures to Daddy for his birthday. We decided last minute to go to Applebees for dinner and enjoyed a delicious blueberry angel food that Mommy made.

A bed for a princess

Since I took Connor out of the crib and put him in a toddler bed awhile ago, it was finally Keira's turn. I was looking for toddler bed for her too until I am ready to get the bunk beds for the boys. Well one of my neighbors had a garage sale and I found this. I think this is a much better choice than a toddler bed. I think Keira agrees too.

Work picnic

Tonight was my work picnic. The weather was hit or miss on the rain, but the kids enjoyed themselves eating all the yummy food and climbing on the rock wall. The twins were enjoying the bouncy house with the slide.

Annual Daylily Sale

This was our traditional daylily sale down on the farm. The weather was very cooperative and the kids had a blast. Can't wait until next year :)
