Time With Sydney and Blakely August 23rd through 27th.

Loving Nigel

Sydney and Blakely's parents had to go toMichigan for a wedding.  Sydney is starting to school on Monday, so Papa and Nana went to Texas to watch the girls while their parents are out of town.

Loving Max

We took a lot of animal photos.  Max got to visit in Texas for him first time.  He loved the children and the dog and cat cousins.

Kevin jumps up on the kitchen sink to check things out.  I don't think he is suppose to do that but he does not care does he. 

Max plays and plays and plays with his animal cousins.  He loves playing outdoors. 

Sydney introduces Max to the swimming pool.  He is not too sure about this. 

Kevin plays with the little bees in the flower garden. 

After the swim, it is time for a snack. 

Sydney finally get's her Sushi Rolls. 

The Puppet Show by Ava, Lily and Rosie

While the Colliers were visiting us in Oklahoma, Aunt Sommer made Grilled Pizza and the girls made puppets to put on a show.

Rosie and Lily makeing Puppet  People 

Uncle Dan make the salad - yumm! 

6 Pizzas are ready, let's eat. 

Pizza and Salad

We had to have a ticket for the Puppet Show

Papa is loving this show

The puppeteers all had hats on.  Papa thinks they are funny. 

Here are the puppets, Who can remember their names? 

I have no idea what the story was but the puppeeteers were very funny.  Someone had a birthday because they threw birthday confetti all over the floor. 

Whatever the show was, it was enjoyed by all.  I think we loved the girls the very best. 

A visit from Ava and Carson

Happy Day!  on Wednesday, August 8th, after we got back from Branson, The Collier family arrived for a visit.   They had going to visit Ava and Blakely before us.   Carson's favorite thing seemed to be meeting Max, our newest addition to the family.

Sommer needed sto spend time updating her blog.  We did not mind as long as she was visiting us in Oklahoma. 

The kids made parachutes and floated them down. 

I saved a basket of capsules just to see what Carson would make with them. 

Sommer's goal was to eat VietNamese Food every single day. 

I think she ate VietNamese at least 3 of the 5 days they were here.  She was happy. 

Aunt Sommer had a birthday on July 13 and we missed it so we had a teenie tiny party for her.  The kids all made her a gift out of duct tape.  Elijah made the tote bag for her. 

Then Carson made his Mommie a wallet. 

Funny part was she found a dollar in the wallet.  Everyone laughed. 

Hairbows ..... and 

bracelets .... and 

flowers ...... and 

more flowers ..... and a vase ..... 

Then there was a patio pot 

Papa turned the heat off so that Ava and Carson could play in the water.
