Cell Phone Photo Gallery



Ellie wanted to set up a store in her bedroom.  We made signs, grabbed her register, set out clothes, and added a microphone for sale annoucements. 


Made a special trip to Farm N Home to see the baby chicks. :)

Ellie and Ryker were both able to pick something out at Hobby Lobby to paint.  Ellie chose a box and Ryker a train.

Liam the Leprechaun has visited our house and left a HUGE mess! At least he left a nice treat before he left!

Look at the mess Liam left!!!

Sparks in the Park

Each year Ellie gets a little braver! I couldn't believe that she went down the big slide ALL BY HERSELF!!! What happened to my little girl!

I love that Hadley, Brooke, Kami, Addalyn and Ayken are able to go with us. Ellie LOVES her cousins!

Yes...I had to go down one last time with her.  I'm sure she won't let me next year. :(






I'm pretty sure I was the number one parent after this ride! LOL!!!! Kami and Ayken were SCREAMING during the entire ride! I'm definitely laughing as I remember back to this day. Ha!


Ryker didn't want anything to do with the rides.  The slide was the only thing he was willing to do.



The kids had a great time on the rides.  Headed to the School to watch the fireworks!

Sparklers and fun on the playground before the fireworks! Brad had to work so I took his truck and we sat in the back while watching the show and eating snacks. Ryker was a little startled at the start of the fireworks, but did fine as long as he was snuggled against his Mommy. Until next year...Happy Birthday, America!

Happy 4th of July


Another successful 4th of July in the books! Surrounded by family, friends, lots of positive energy and a  fun hometown parade! What could be better?!?!

Ellie's 2 BFF's...Brooke & Addalyn


Daddy offered to paint Ellie's face for the parade!

Ready for the parade to begin!




LOVE HER!!!


Rochester Rocks...love the "small" town feeling that's given from our community!
Such an amazing place to raise a family!

Thanks Patti and Bill for letting everyone come to your house on this special day!


Hadley was in the parade for girl scouts! :)


Brooke, Ellie, Addie & Nolan



LOVE HIM!!!!


Grant's Farm 2013


Ellie was beyond excited to come back to Grant's Farm this year! She absolutely loves feeding the goats!

Watching the enormous tortoise.



 
This was the first year we went to a "bird" show.




Petting and Feeding the Llamas.




Such a Doll!!!


The goat tried stealing the bottle out of Ryker's hand.  He thought it was pretty funny!

Ellie loved going in the gate to the goats after they were all fed and tired.  She would have taken ALL of them home if we'd let her.


Great place to cool off!

Love their Snow Cone mouths!!!


Iguana

The only thing different this year were Camel rides.  I actually bought Ellie a ticket, but the line was so long she changed her mind.  Maybe next year!
