Day 3

We spent the 4th of July weekend with my extended family in Ruidoso, NM. We had so much fun getting to visit with everyone and watch the kids play so well together.

David (my middle brother) took the kids around the house on a 4 wheeler ride. They kept yelling, "GO SUPER FAST!"

Day 2

We were able to spend our first couple of days at Jay's parent's house. The kids were so excited to have a backyard to play in. Jay and I were excited to just let them go out to play and not have to keep our eye on them. (We have a driveway that we share with 3 other families where our kids have to play.)

Our Trip to Texas--Day 1

We headed out to Texas on July 1st. The kids did great on the plane trip down and back. Olivia was on a decongestant that we didn't realize made her hyper until 10 minutes before the flight. And oh my, was she having fun!

Waiting for the plane in Jacksonville, the kids rode on the fast walking thing. It kept them entertained during our delay.

:)

Oh what to do. I'm surrounded by boys.

Olivia says the word pink now. She LOVES this color.

the fun mess

Josiah made some ships at sea with the sun and moon

Olivia worked hard at picking up the pieces.

Josiah's "King Sun"

Isaac likes order...each ship has a sun and a piece of water.

Josiah's way of picking up (with his toes)...this amazing talent runs through his blood.

The annoying his sister talent also runs through his blood.

My Own Hand Bell Choir

I did have a hand bell choir. But then the choir disbanded and I was left with a soloist. I'll take what I can get.

Wow! It was loud.

a little added noise for my eardrums

preparing for the solo

Oh wait! We still have another participant.

All her own.

It's more fun to stack the bells than it is to play them.

gathering more

uh-oh

*BEEP BEEP*

(Olivia says "beep" when she backs up to sit down.)

peace

Wait! Peace is no fun.

She has an idea.

Hehehehe!

The look that says, "I'm doing something I shouldn't do."

Oops...climbing to the top of the stairs by herself.

Forget hand bells...

guy stuff...

(Notice the buzzed cut. I told the lady to cut it short, but not that short. Oh well.)

jumping off the slide

Ah, the life of a Wright child.
