Look at that beautiful hair:( How can daddy not love it?

Bree was such the "little mommy" to Tag while they stayed at our house...it was really cute!

How do I look?

Before I left on my trip to Oklahoma, I visited my in-laws and just happen to leave my camera there. Therefore, I took very few pictures while in Oklahoma and never did a post on the pictures I took before we left. These are a bit late, but better late than never!!

My sister, Carrie and her 3 kids came to visit for a week! We had a great time and the kids played and played and played! We did a lot of swimming because that is all you can in the summertime in Southern Nevada! It is just too dang hot to be outside unless you are in the water. We took the kids to the splash pad and they loved it and had so much fun running through all the water. Then we took them to the outdoor pool with a kiddie area and a really big slide for the older kids! Bruce and Beau went down the slide most of the time while we were there...they LOVED it! Ty usually likes to go down, but he didn't want to go down this time. Carrie took Bree and I think she enjoyed it too and Tag is just so laid back that half the time I don't know what he is thinking! He didn't cry so I am guessing he liked it.

Brian caught up with us for the weekend and we headed up to my in-laws to do some shooting and "country stuff"! However, it is usually cooler up there and since we decided to drive up there it was a really hot day! We ended up staying inside until it cooled off. We had a mean game of "scum" and had fun visiting with each other. I think the kids had fun playing together. I know they enjoyed shooting the shotgun and petting the horse. As you can tell from Ty's face, they got really dirty and had fun doing it! We even made them take a bath before we went home!

Before Carrie left, I made her help me give Tag his 1st haircut. Josh couldn't handle the long hair anymore and threatened to shave his head if I didn't cut it. I loved his hair and was sad to see it go. Now he looks like a "big boy" and my little baby is gone. He does look cute with the do, but he was just as cute with the shaggy look. Thank you Carrie for helping me cut his hair. Funny story, the brand new scissors I had were not sharp at all, so we ended up using my huge kitchen scissors. Carrie was really nervous, but she did a great job. Thanks Carrie for coming to visit! We loved having you and your family stay with us!

Last but not least, my kids have this obsession with dumping the clothes out of their hampers and running around the house with them on their heads! They think it is the funniest thing and I just laugh as I watch them running into each other and multiple other things! Kids really are great entertainment! I love my kids and I love all the fun memories they give me each day!!!
