Siblings, Going Away Party and More...

Sister and Brotherly Love

Since we have been inside a lot more than usual because of David and the heat, we brought a slide into the living room. It has proven to be great entertainment for Alex as she not only slides down, but sends her dolls, toys, etc down the slide, too. She even pretends they are climbing up the steps. So cute! She loves to ask for David to slide down. So, we often hold him and slide him down.

Alex loves to help mommy, especially in the kitchen and especially if she hears the mixer start. :) I have been in the baking mood lately making banana bread, corn bread, beer bread, and various cakes. So Alex, has definitely enjoyed her share of batter and beater licking. :) She actually does help by pouring in measured ingredients, helping hold mixer, etc. Tonight she helped skewer kabobs until she kept sticking the marinated raw chicken to her mouth. She just couldn't understand she could get sick when they were coated in italian dressing. She loves dressing and sauces - any flavor! I love cooking with my sweet pea!

David, Alex, Reagan and Reese playing on the couch while we babysat one night. Alex and Reagan were having a ball being silly and head banging the back of the couch. Silly girls!

Layla and Reese... Layla and Jason hosted a farewell party for Mike and Brooke as they head back to TX this week. :( We had a great visit with everyone!

Mike and Brooke, we will miss you! Thankfully, the blogs help us stay connected and feel closer.

This is almost the whole gang together again. What a crew! We have added 10 kiddos to the group since we all first met. Whoa!
