First Day of School

We kind of had 2 first days of school this year.  On the actual first day of school Olivia just had to go for a little bit to drop of supplies.  Then she came home.  So the first day Ryan went and then we took Olivia a little later,  Olivia's first full day was the next day!

Ryan all ready for school on the first day just curled up in a blanket reading waiting for time to actually leave!

Emily a little upset that her 2 favorite people just left without her.

Picking up Olivia from school.  She is super awesome and we only picked her up the first day, every since then she has walked home by herself!

Independence Day!

SO I had a lot of Independence Day pics so I figured I could do a post just for them.  We went down to Dayton,  and went to a show that my Mom was in charge of and then went to the parade with Daniel and Jennifer.  We also went to the park where they had all sorts of fun stuff set up for the kids.  After the park we had enough time to drive back home and watch the fireworks from there!

at the parade waiting for the flag to go by  I love small town parades they are just long enough!

Olivia waiting to get sling shotted down the water slide!

Emily just chilling in the stroller.  She is such a good baby!

waiting for the plane to fly over and drop all sorts of candy and prizes!

Summer

So I didn't blog all summer, mostly cause I never get on the computer that has the pictures so this is going to be mostly a picture post to get all caught up!  Ready set go! (oh and the pics downloaded in reverse order so this is all from the end of summer forward.)

Ryan also lost his 2 front teeth also giving him an awesome lisp we have had lots of fun kindly making fun of him!

Olivia lost her first tooth very closely followed by her 2nd (which gave her an awesome lisp)

Showing where the tooth fairy kissed her!

We went camping to our favorite camping spot.  We only got out once this year because camping while pregnant with a 1 year old was a little bit much!

Ryan learning how to whittle with his new pocket knife that he won!  

Olivia playing on the rocks by the playground  (one of the reasons it is our favorite place to camp)

Emily loving the whole thing even though she was a little sick!  She walked around like she owned the place!

Our awesome new tent!  This should fit our whole family nicely !

Both the older kiddos played baseball this year they were on different team but had the same color shirts and also the same team name!  Ryan did coach pitch and Olivia did T-ball

Ryan up to bat

Olivia on base!  She never trusted her helmet  to stay on!

Emily chilling with mom at the game!

Olivia at bat,  she hit that ball like it did something wrong!

Chris got a water gun for father's day and we all had a little bit of fun with them,  we got the kids some too so they could defend themselves but we gave Chris the biggest one!

Emily even got in on the action she loved getting sprayed!
