A day at the Fair

Brady had started showing his affection for Zach by sitting on him. But, here Brady decides kisses are better...

and smiling sweetly keeps Mommy's voice at a more loving tone :)

We had a great time seeing the Taylor tribe and hanging out with all the cousins. Lia loved giving Zachary lots of kisses...

Our day at the fair last week turned out to be rainy, so the kids didn't get to ride anything.
However, they did get to see a little bear and dog show which was cute. They were doing tricks and one bear even went down a slide, reluctantly. But, for a marshmallow, I guess even a bear will do most anything. Wonder if that works with kids?

The Future...

I'm not sure what God's plan is for this little man...

but, whatever it is I know Brady will be good at it.

Zachary loves when you talk to him, especially if it's Daddy. Just like all the others, he'll soon become a Daddy's boy :).

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.
