Word Update... No pics...

So as if a broken camera didn't delay my postings enough, I now have lost my backup camera! It's quite the switch going from a larger camera that weighs 1.8 lbs to a dinky one that weighs 0.4 lbs... it's here somewhere... I think my camera guy ran off with it! :)

BUT the wonderful news is that my lens for my good camera will be here tomorrow!! I'm UBER excited and have TONS of ideas for pics (since I did miss Ruby's one year pics.. :( ) and Noah will need his 3 YEAR pics in a few weeks...

So don't give up on me. I'll have MANY posts soon enough! :)

Deer Creek

We spent an afternoon at the beach at Deer Creek, letting the kids swim in the lake. The water was cool, but Noah loved it. Ruby did NOT! :) But she got used to it and eventually enjoyed it. Bryan showed Noah how to build his first real sand castle! We had a wonderful time relaxing together!

A Pickle for a Nickel

Making a Splash!

Sorry for the lack of posts... a broken camera will do that. :( I did dig out my yucky Kodak and it still works, although it takes horrible pics, but still I have pics! These are some 'pool' pics from this weekend. We took our turtle sandbox (Thank you AGAIN Miss Kristi), and turned it into a little pool, perfect for the kiddos. It's just enough to cool off in! We also went to the pool near our house for the first time this summer and even though Ruby wasn't sure about it at first, she ended up loving it! Noah was the regular water rat and swam and swam! We had a wonderful day and enjoyed the gorgeous weather! :)

Planting with Grandma and Grandpa King

We spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa King's and Noah was able to help plant in their garden for the first time! He loves being outdoors and riding on the tractor, but he discovered a whole new world of digging for a purpose! I can't wait to take him back throughout the summer and let him watch the gourds and pumpkins he planted grow! He loved spending the day there!
Miss Ruby enjoyed exploring and tasting 'new' things... ick... :)
