Morganne on two wheels!

It's sad, this is the first time all summer we've really had the bikes out. But, what a day!  Morganne wanted to try it without training wheels today (something she has never asked for), and she started on the little bike we have and then Justin gets home and she asks to try her full sized bike!  She did it! Had one pretty good spill, but she got back on and rode again with the new bruises and scrapes.  Very proud of this girl!
Kaelynn is working on the balance aspect on the small bike, but rest assured the challenge is on with her older sister now riding on two wheels!  It won't be long.... ;c)

Summer play and fun with the cousins at Haiden's first birthday!

 This is going to be one of those pictures that is a classic in her future.... LOVE IT!  

Happy first birthday Haiden!

 Fun with Maci!

 Let's just say, after seeing their first "driving" experience, we have begun praying now for when they get their real license to drive!

Grant's great day at the softball park!

Kaelynn has only had 2 hits off the pitch all season, but on Saturday she went 3 for 3 with no tee!!!!  She was also last batter so she got to keep running and it was way too cute!  

We then went to support the 8u All-Star players (any player that is 8 years old or moving up to 10u next year).  Morganne came just to watch but it turned out that they needed some help filling positions, so they asked her and her friend, Addi to play too.  She had a great game, going 3 for 3 (or 4-4 if you ask Mo)!!! It was such a fun game because there was no pressure and everyone was just there to play and have fun.  The parents cheered for all the girls and the weather was perfect.  Justin pitched in both the t-ball game and the All-Star game (glad we showed up to watch as he was just planning to sit and cheer!). 

We have loved watching the girls play and are sad that this season is coming to an end.  The softball park is a place of great friends and good times!

Softball, softball, softball!- and a camping weekend...

Kaelynn is such a great big sister!  Ryleigh loves her so much too.

One of my new favorite pics!  It was a bit windy that evening!

This kid loves all the attention and just loves being out there.  She has very little competitive drive, but has a ton of smiles the entire game!

I've noticed by taking all these pictures that in every action shot, Kaelynn has her tongue out.  Cracks us up!

Kealynn and buddy, Jesse

Canoe trip down Sugar Creek with some of our closest friends and youth group kids. I'm 7 months pregnant so I was nervous at first, but it turned out to be a perfect day with excellent weather.  The girls got to experience several firsts this weekend- first time canoeing, first time camping in a tent, and first time having to use an outhouse with no electricity all weekend!

Thanks to Nana and Grandad for keeping Ryleigh, which made our weekend much easier!

Once again Ryleigh steals the show....
