Jacquelyn's Wedding

In may, yes may we traveled to Cincinnati for my co-worker's wedding.

 

Jim and Brenda

Me and Cindy :)

The group shot!

Group shot part 2

Conveniently located next to the new downtown casino. No children. Early night. Where did we end up??????

Hadley

This girl is something else. So vivacious and always wanting to yell, scream and play hard. While eating dinner she says look.

 

Now she is full of new hand poses....

Plus one tooth down which resulted in a tooth fairy visit. Since this was her first time in our house she visited all the kiddos. Leaving them, of course candy!?!?!?! and a little note about brushing well so she can have pretty teeth from them! Hadley, the green bag got a GOLD coin. She was so fascinated to get a gold coin then she realized she could spend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This would be a mister potato head smile....she cracks herself up.

A soccer player. Well a nail picker, flirting, flower picking girl. But she has fun...

Summer Fun

My kiddos always try to be photographers. I think Hadley took these two....

Holly came up for a day with her girls. HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man do I miss this crew. These girls used to be together all day then a majority of the evenings since Mark had moved and it was me on solo duty. My Holly nights filled with laughter, fun, and booze are missed beyond words...

Preschool

As I'm buying kindergarten supplies I am finally posting some of the pictures from her big day. I still cannot believe she is old enough for a graduation of any kind even if it is preschool. Where did the time go? She was definitely in her element this day, loving life!!

 

Her sign, which is now on her door!

Getting her diploma from Ms Rhonda....

Hadley's pal Cayden also graduated this year. Look how happy he is!!

The whole school!

Gwen could not understand why she did not get to play too. It was a little frustrating, but Hadley informed me, "I will cry if Gweny doesn't watch," so I was dumb enough to bring her

Oh cousins.....

This little swirly wand lasted about two days in our house before it was destroyed.

Oh my goodness. Little Cayden Wilkinson and Hadley Goins, in the future I will torture you two with this one :)

Country Life...

On a whim we got the kiddos a four wheeler now that there is room to actually ride it. They are obsessed, in the best way possible. Parker hasn't gotten to ride much but cries to do so ALLLL the time! This is the first ride of all...

 

Living in the country now we are rebels ha. Sometimes I wash up the other two in the shower or they take a bath when Parker is already down or is napping...so she ends up in the sink :)
TOOOOOOOOO cute....

Hadley has to help of course :)

Cincinnati Trip Grand FInale :)

So as Mark's parents and Aunts and Uncles pointed out, many years ago they were having get togethers with their kids....which now have a whole litter themselves. We are missing Suzanne's daughters and Nikki's kiddos so FOUR short?!?!?!?! SO MANY!!!!!!!!

 

Cooper, Gwenyth, Conner, Cayden, Kennedy, Hadley, Parker, Avery, Brooke. So would be  thirteen total?!?!?!?! Never met him, but from what I hear Grandpa DeBord would have been head over heels with this crew. I am thankful everyday I got in :)

These three girls were stuck in pose mode.

This little boy would just wipe out, jump up and crack up. Quite possibly the sweetest boy!!

Friday night was the sleepover with all the Stroh hooligans....Wooooohoooo....

Kylie excited for fireworks time...

At first Hadley was terrified. Then she realized they were amazing and that the boom wasn't so bad. So outside of some ear covering she watched them all without a single tear. FINALLY she is through that phase. Gwen loved them, screaming for more. Parker, well she was asleep two hours before they started :)

Saturday AM resulted in a donut run by Mark and us ducking out before the parents even got moving. This group of girls sure knows how to have a good time and I look forward to MANY more years of get togethers!

Cincinnati FUN

On Wednesday night we were able to have a cookout with Mark's family. We got to see his cousins and our second cousins we haven't seen in a long time. Kiddos had a blast, and don't worry so did the parents...

Conner, Cayden, and Hadley riding the polaris machine?!

Little girl, working hard.

Cousin Billy surrounded by kids. Lovely site. Holding Cooper with Kennedy wanting daddy too.

This group of guys is prety important to me. Uncle Jiptz, my Hubby, Cousin Billy and Grandpa Don or pizza pawpaw...

One happy girl seeing her pawpaw...
