slip 'n slide fun!!

last week, md and i hung out with ellie while her parents were at district council. on tuesday, jenny invited us over for slip 'n slide fun and watermelon!

everyone had a blast!

play hard...crash hard

michael and i had a good time at our play date yesterday. he played and talked and ate and laughed. he loves watching his friends. every time one of the other babies makes a noise, he turns quickly to check it out. well, as hard as he played yesterday, he crashed just as hard on the way home. poor guy!

workin' on holding his own bottle. he doesn't get a bottle very often so practice times are few and far between! good job, md!

oh! hey, mom! didn't realize you were here!

i love how he holds onto the side of his carseat. so tired his sassy was half out of his mouth, but you better believe he wasn't lettin' go of that ring!

pumpkin patch play date

on wednesday, michael david and i met our great friends at a local pumpkin patch. we hung out in the shade and enjoyed the conversation and crying. :)

md enjoying the warm outside weather and the beautiful, orange pumpkins!

miller and michael david.

she is 10 days younger than md and has the sweetest cheeks on the planet!

happy jude!

cookie-eatin', one-shoe-wearin' bella. what a doll!

melissa & jude, rikki & miller. both fathers of these babies are in the military and are in training before being deployed for the 2nd time. what amazing women!

sadly, and i don't know how, i never got a picture of maria, bella's mama. she's a sweet gal expecting her 2nd baby in about 7 months!
