The One that Didn't Get Away...

This is a big web that was in my parents back yard. Kingston was fascinated with it!


This web was down by the lake. The Spider was still in it.


Kingston shooting his first gun with extra supervision.


Camden and Pops had a game going with Pops' hat.


Chris finally reeling in a big one. The really big one got away!!!


Eight pound catfish!


Camden loves to be outside.


Mimi is putting that PE degree to good use and helping Kingston learn how to hit a ball.

Marvel Cave

Silver Dollar City has a cave that you can take a walking tour through. You have to walk 600 stairs! I did it with a baby on my hip! Kingston really enjoyed playing Star Wars through the whole tour (he did great and didn't complain the whole time)! Mimi was Leia, Pops was Chewbacca, and Kingston was Luke.

Annual Trip to Silver Dollar City

We made our annual trip to Branson and the Craft Festival at Silver Dollar City. Kingston enjoyed riding the big rides and even rode a few "little" rides with Camden. My mother and I had a great time at the Culinary School learning some new recipes. Chris ate his way through the park with funnel cakes and strawberries and ice cream!


It's all blue today!


Crazy family!


Mimi and Pops get in on the action.


The perfect day.


Camden enjoyed the rocking horse.


Camden tried his hand at picking the horse's nose.


Camden LOVES the jumping frogs!


A stop at the Christmas shop.

First Day of School

Kingston started the 4 yr old program this year at a new school. He did awesome! He went right in and started playing. He was even asking his new teacher if he could color! When I went to pick him up at the end of the day, he was so excited to tell me that he had earned 5 stars and had stayed on green all day! His teacher told me he talked non-stop about......Star Wars! He talked so much about it that other teachers were asking his teacher if he had stopped talking about Star Wars yet.





Here's what Camden did while Kingston was at school!

Cowboy Camden

These were Kingston's Cowboy boots. Since they are almost too small for Camden we decided he better go ahead and wear them. Even if it was with his shorts!

Kingston's First Soccer Game

***Warning there is lots of cheering (by Mommy)***


Kingston got the "Christ-Like" star today for volunteering to play for the other team, because they didn't have enough players. Yeah Kingston!

10 Months of FUN

Here are a few things Camden is doing....


loving his bottle!


Getting into everything


Whatever brother is doing...wrestling with Daddy


Eating anything that is on the floor.

Labor Day

Kingston decided to have a "bike" parade. Gimmama, Grandpa and Camden joined in! Camden LOVED riding in the wagon. He thought he was such a big boy.

What is Camden doing now....

Silver Dollar City - Southern Gospel Picnic

Kingston was very excited to go the SDC this time. He is finally tall enough to ride the BIG rides. He rode 2 new roller coasters and loved them! He almost wouldn't ride the younger rides! Oh no!


Here we go...


Visiting the Jail after the American Plunge


Getting wet on the Lost River


Camden enjoyed a big pickle!


Camden rides the Frogs for the first time!

More of our Missouri Trip

Shopping for the girls...rides for the boys! Thanks Pops!



Before the nature walk at Big Cedar.

Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield, MO

Camden decided to eat the mulch for his snack!




Being silly with the snakes.

Kingston loves Star Wars so much....

he decided to become one of the characters!

Seriously, we are not sure what happened. He said he hit his head on the car door last night, but the Dr. said it looks like something bit him (even though he couldn't find a bite). Oh well! He is on antibiotics since the dr. said it looks like an infection. Kingston is his normal self, plus a little more wild!


Doesn't look too bad...


but there is a knot on his head and his ear is twice the size it should be!


Daddy was hoping he would pick up the NFL network with his new "satellite"


Wondering why mommy is still taking pictures???


Decides to smile through all the "pain"
