Week 3 of summer




pretty little sissy



we stayed home and in our jammies all day and played- a personal favorite of mine!

Big is ALWAYS trying to do something to her!  Hold her, kiss her, pull her leg off- this day he wanted to sit on her....and look who liked it!!!

after the boys splashed around in the water at the park, we went on a walk to get dry before getting in the car- daddy thought we were cute all holding hands

swimming....lots of swimming


so the kids were checking out this truck, and I was standing at the back talking to Kaitlyn, she had the keys...what could possibly go wrong?? Well next thing I know I hear this pop and the truck starts rolling...heading toward the barn!  I grab the back tailgate trying to stop it and it takes me with it....Kaitlyn runs, jumps in (the doors were open) and she throws on the break.  Wanna guess who the kid in crime was?  Denton pulled something by the stearing wheel and it popped the emergency break.  I was so thankful no one was playing in front of the truck when it started to go.  Lesson learned on my part- no more playing in cars- they are NOT toys.  We had a loooong talk after that, on what happened and what could have happened and how lucky we were.

we went with friends to watch a concert and have a picnic- it was a group from Africa and the boys loved dancing to their music.  
Jessilyn's baby was baptised Sunday morning
and the babies just love each other!

Friday night we threw Brooke's baby shower for her 2nd boy on the way

2nd Week Of Summer

the boys playing outside and Grayson in his Acorn hat from Camp Thurman

summer has no limits!  The kids drug my great grandmother's rocking chair out of my room so they could watch a movie in it, and this is how they looked- Denton LOVES to wear Layla's bows, Grayson in some glasses that were found in the parking lot, and Layla practicing her crawling



sweet little Binfords

mama's Puffin

heading out to Mesquite for opening weekend of the Rodeo

We invited Pop Pop to go with us too!

Sissy in her new cowboy hat we go there- this picture makes me giggle for so many reasons.  My dad was carring EVERYTHING.  All the kids got new hats and bandannas, he had all those, carring Layla Mariee, my diaper bag..... and I kept jumping in front of him snapping pictures.  He's such a trooper!

my beautiful Binford boys

look at those cheeks!!!

sissy had on some super cute boots with her skirt

you can't go to the rodeo and not get a pony ride!  Grayson went out in the arena to try to pull the ribbon of the calf.  It was precious but all I have is video no picture.  Last year he cried because I wouldn't let him go out there to try, so this year we let him (even though it was kids 7-12)

daddy snapped a picture before he left for work- sissy was still in her bed and had not joined us yet

dinner at the Oassis- Layla Mariee was being camera shy and kept covering her face with her bankie

we even squeezed in a quick visit with Nani while she was in town!

My cousin meeting Layla Mariee for the 1st time!!  


Painting at Creative Hands with friends


Sissy in her bathing suite for the 1st time- doesn't get much cuter than this!

.......... and this

Oh..... and THIS!  HEAVEN SENT I TELL YOU!

we woke up, baked cookies, made lemonade, and headed over to Grayson's preschool teachers house for a little tea party.  She is going to be Denton's teacher in a year, and Layla Mariee's teacher too when she is 3.  So we needed a little visit, it's a tradition we started Grayson's 1st year with her.  


Nothing more fun than cookies and lemonade at 10am!!

Father's Day at my dad's house.  My papa is in the hospital and while we are praying our hearts out for him we all got together for a father's day celebration.  Here my boys are with Aunt Pretty playing on Papa's fun bed.  It is an electric bed that we all thought was super comfortable.  We all played on it all day.


Sissy said her 1st words..... dada!  Both my boys said Mama 1st so we had a proud daddy on our hands!

Pop Pop opening a gift the boys made him


With Papa in the hospital us cousins are drawing each other close. 




Here we are with Nanny on Father's Day and below we are all together with papa  13 years ago



Sissy got her toenails painted for the 1st time!

Aunt Whitney is soooooo sweet to paint Layla Mariee's little toes!  
                           
look at these too- grayson on top sissy on bottom, she looks more and more like him to me

Happy Father's Day to an amazing daddy to my 3 babies:
