A little project

This summer we relized we wouldn't be selling our house anytime soon. So off the market it went and we jumped into something we've been talking about for a long time. Actually there are a few things we've talked about for a while now, but we decided to build the kids a play/tree house.

Lunch Break!



I lost track of how many trips to Home Depot we've made, but it's coming along.


Partially primed and still need to add the door and windows. The kids and neighbor hood kids have already been enjoying it.

It gets hot building in the middle of summer, so we also spent some quality time visiting with friends and swimming this summer.

A little girl time

Thought I'd share a few pictures of my girls today. They've turned out to be so much more girlie than myself (which I guess, really isn't that hard). They bring a lot to the house and are great helpers.

Paxton eating a sardine & mustard sammy. Don't let the look on her face fool you, she really likes them. Her taste for them comes from Spencer.....I would never even put something like that on my own plate, let alone on one of my children's.


Here is a blast from the past....I loved her curls and miss them. When we cut her hair 6 months or so ago, I was hoping they would have reappeared, but nothing. She's cute with straight hair to though!


Daisy doing what she loves to do. Not many days pass that I don't hear "Mom, lets make a recipe!" She loves to help in the kitchen and especially likes to make chocolate chip cookies


Always dancing. Here she just finished showing us her dance move. Next time you see her ask her to show you. It's a good one. Although she may not be wearing all the accessories seen here, you'll still like it.


Macy is crawling now and pulling herself up to everything. She also recently got her two bottom teeth. She's still a pudgy little thing and we love to pinch her.


And I think her hair is going to stay dark like Daisy's. Sweet Macy Bean Jean.

Bow Ties

Spencer's grandma sent us these great looking bow ties for the boys. If I remember right one of his cousins made them as a fundraiser for girls camp and Grandma McClendon bought up a good number of them and sent them out to all her great grandsons.



I thought they looked handsome! You cant tell from the picture, but Caden was not happy about wearing it. He smiled all sweet and happy like and as soon as I said we were done he ran to his room, took it off and replaced it with a regular necktie.
He is already concerned with appearances and didn't even want to put it on for the picture. I hope it doesn't last.

Daisy is all about getting into every photo possible.
