Funny Ben

Ben thinks very highly of his big cousin Bryson.  Here is a small clip of them being silly in the Bounce House.

While participating in the Corn Hole game Ben gets excited after his Daddy throws the bag! It's a short clip but I thought it was cute!

Birthday Bash!

This weekend we celebrated two birthdays. Bryson turned 8 and Nate is turning 30!  It's tough trying to keep secrets from Nate. He always seems to figure then out and I'm a terrible liar so that never helps.  The camo birthday cake (Bryson's request) was made by Fresh Bakes by Tracy. It was so yummy!! Alison also made Nate a carrot cake, a favorite of his.  Special thanks to Alison for doing that! Tracy (Nate's sister) told me to make sure I told Alison about her licking the icing off of her plate after she scraped ever piece of cake she could find :)  We bought Nate a corn hole game and he was actually surprised.  However he did guess it before he opened the present, but thats the longest I've ever kept a present from him! We had a blast playing with his family! Little Ben even got in on the action!

Father's Day

We had a great Father's day weekend celebrating the Dad's in our lives!  Saturday we spent the day at Nate's parent's house.  Nate and his dad went to an auction and spent some quality time together doing something they both love! They didn't come home with much but they had fun.  On Father's Day we started the morning with giving Nate breakfast in bed, powdered donuts! That was Olivia's request.  Then we went to church and once again heard an amazing message from God.  Nate and I went forward to join the Oak Hill Baptist church family!  We are blessed to have found this church and the people who make up that family.  My dad and family came over in the afternoon and we had a great visit with them.  I am so thankful for my dad, my father in law and my husband who are all 3 incredible father's!  Happy Father's day to all three of you! We love you!

This picture cracked me up! I told them they looked like a band posing for their album cover.. haven't picked out a name yet though :)

My brother and sister in law! Love the both!

Children's museum

Yesterday we went to the Children's Museum in Evansville.  We had never been there before.  We had such a great time! The kids loved it! Everything there was very age appropriate for the kids.  Livie has been asking if we can go back already! I see a year pass in our future :)

to funny!

Alison took this picture yesterday.  When I first saw this it didn't click with how funny it really was.  So I added some captions to show it to you as I saw it after looking at it a while. :) Enjoy!

Adi "oh man this has to be the best smore EVER!",

Livie "hmmmmmmmmmmmm",

Ben "Hey you with the camera! Put that thing down and get us more smores!"

Pool Party!

We have had a great week with Grandma Garrison here!  The kids have had so much fun with her! I'm sure they will be so sad when she goes back home tomorrow...
                            

Tonight we had Alison and Adi over for a cookout and a pool party! We are so happy to have them back home after visiting family in Arizona for three weeks. Ben and Olivia missed Adi a lot! The kids had a great time

Fresh Cookie anyone?

I gave Ben a fresh warm Chocolate chip cookie after dinner... moments later I heard him saying "more more" and this is what I found!
