Happy Birthday Grandma Marsha!

We love you!! Hope you have a great Birthday!

The Boys...

Brady loves that his Daddy continues to dig up the yard and "play" in the dirt. Hopefully now the grass will start growing and there will be no more "dirt, dirt"...

...and is other favorite thing...tractors...isn't it amazing at how God designs boys and girls. This was at my friends house and Brady wouldn't get off it...birthday and Christmas will be here soon (hint, hint).

And of course I had to take this cute picture of our chubba lubba...he was 14.8 lbs and 24 inches long at his MD appointment last week. And, I know I shouldn't say this, but he has slept through the night for the past week....hallelujah!!!

Zachary's 2 months old!

It's hard to believe that Zachary is already 2 months old. He is such a good baby. He loves his brother and sisters and loves to "talk" to them when they slow down long enough. Happy 2 months Zach!

When we told Brady to smile, this is what he did....who couldn't love that face?

Farmer Bruce

It's a bird....it's a plane....it's....Bruce playing with a new toy. Yes, Bruce is driving our neighbor's tractor to help get all the dirt back into place. He had a blast! Can you guess what new toy Bruce will be wanting someday? Thought all you PA guys would enjoy this!

Dirt, Dirt, Dirt

It seems as if we just enjoy having more dirt at our house than grass. So, today we had a trench 5 feet deep and 340 feet long dug for new geothermal lines. Tomorrow water pipes will be placed in it and now that summer is almost over maybe our air conditioning will finally work. At least the girls enjoyed playing in it for the day...


but look how cute they are all cleaned up.

Bruce took this picture of a cicada??? coming out of it's shell, pretty cool huh?

Brady is finally getting over his eye infection, one day when he wasn't feeling that well, he was loving on his big dog...and he loves to share...

...his eye infection that is. Zach has gotten to start his first antibiotics today for his eye infection. Poor little fella...his left eye is so swollen he can barely open it. But, his Aunt Nina got some smiles out of him yesterday when she and Grandma stopped by.

Thank you for "buh-buh's"

Brady loves buh-buh's (blueberry's) and when I saw him praying before he ate them, I was glad my camera was close by. He'll say "mmm buh-buh's"!!

I also caught a couple of smiles from Zach. It's amazing how a couple of these can brighten any kind of day!

Look at that big guy holding his head up!


Brady loves helping Pop-Pop, he decided they needed his assistance laying the hardwood floor today. "Bang-bang"! Good Job Brady!

Happy Birthday Pop-Pop!

Dad celebrated a birthday on Monday complete with singing and a piece of lemon cake during his lunch...

and Grandma holding the our chubby fellow...look at those cheeks!

Brady finally realized in the 90 plus degree weather that "wa-wa" was fun to play in. Now we can't keep him out of the pool...bugs, grass, clothing...it doesn't matter what's in the water or what he has on.

And Zach, continues to be a good baby, and growing fast. I keep moving up a size on diapers and he's quickly approaching the 3-6 month size in clothing. Happy 6 weeks Zachary!
