Halloween

Dax, Maggie, Sophie, and Olivia riding in the back for approximately 200 feet. They thought they were so big!

Erica holding Maggie!! Maggie loves Erica

Julie spent 5 minutes trying to get a picture of these two, but this is as good as it gets for a one year old and a two year old!

He was laughing at a friend of ours dressed up like a beer bottle. Dax told him to dance in his costume!

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July. Daxton really liked the "firewhips." Erica and Clayton had a batch of their own fireworks we lit up on July 5th. Erica and Clayton have been swimming with the swim team and doing really well. Clayton got 4th (overall) and 1st (in his age group) at the Decatur Lakeside Triathlon. Erica will be starting school softball in a few weeks......so you know where we will be. The kids go back to school the last week of July, so their summer is about over!!

This is Daxton's new dance. Marlene got him this dancing chicken and he dances with it. It must be something with dancing chickens because, he danced with the other loud chicken Grandma Betty and Grandpa Bob got him a year ago!!

Clayton's Spring Turkey. He did it again!! It was the first week of April, but I am just now getting around to posting it!!

Getting ready for the Holidays

Okay so we're getting ready for the holidays, and have no idea what to even get for the kids. Of course Dax is easy because he's just getting a few things. Erica and Clayton are a totally different ball game. Since they have like five Christmas's every year we are just out of ideas. It's not just Kerry and I either, Jill has been stumped, as well. Let me put it this way.....they don't even know what to spend gift cards on when they get them!!

I'm sure alot of people go through the stress of what to get their kids. We have even informed the kids that they are adopting a needy kid with a couple of their "presents."

Daxton did his hair cut by Jill a couple weeks ago. She said he was really good for the procedure. He was a little squirmy for his first haircut, but overall not too bad. He does look older though.
