Beckym hanging out with Elley

Yesterday when Beckym got up from his nap I let Elley out.  He wanted to go out with Elley which is normal.  He was out there awhile and when I looked out this is what I saw.  It was a little after 5:00 and it was seriously at least 100 degrees out but these two didn't care.  I'm not sure exactly what they were doing but I grabbed my camera and took a few shots before it ended. 

Ozarks 2011

We went to the Ozarks with the Marlows this past weekend.  When we arrived the first thing on the To do list was a family picture because Josh had to leave right away.  It was 100 degrees and the kids were not happy about having to wear "nice clothes" but we actually got a few decent pictures.  I dont have the one of all the family but will get that on here when I can get it from Wendy.  Below is our family picture.

All the grand kids from the Marlow side of the family.

One of the older boys' favorite things to do at the lake is ride the waverunner.  Here they are swimming and showing off because they know I am taking pictures from the condo.

Ducks that were well fed from us.

Some of the ducks were not too afraid to get close to the boys.

 Scott and Beckym posing.  The camera was on the wrong setting so it is a little dark in the next few pictures.

Scott and the three boys.

Me and the three boys.

All of us.  It was a little bright.

The boys playing in the boat under the waterfall.

Aquapalooza was going on while we were there and we could see it all from our deck.

Look at all those boats.

The boys on the waverunner again.

Beckym loved to watch all the boats go by no matter how hat it was.

All the kids actually sitting still.

Cadynce playing baseball

Cadynce played machine pitch this year and had a lot of fun with it.  Here are a few shots of him playing.  Below is him waiting to bat which is his favorite.

Swing.

He got a double and his on second.

Playing first base and trying not to see me taking pictures.

Ready for the ball.

Fourth of July weekend

Fourth of July is one of the boys' favorite time of the year.  Payton and Cadynce love the fireworks!! Payton loves lighting the fireworks and letting them off but the little ones just like to watch.  Beckym wasn't too sure about the loud noises but at least still watched from afar.  Below is Payton lighting some fireworks off.

These two watching from the garage.

Beckym preferred to watch fro inside the garage between the cars. 

He dont mind holding one though:)

He eventually got brave enough to put one in for Payton to light.  

and then RUN!

We all were able to make the annual Fourth of July Bike Parade in our neighborhood.  Here is our street of kids that were in town that weekend.

We end up at the park and the kids all get a cold treat.  Beckym is a little awnery.

Our monkey climbing on the monkey bars.

Next we hit the pool! Here Beckym and Cadynce are trying to keep warm on the hot cement.

Payton in the pool.

This is one of the boys' favorite part of the pool...eating.

Payton not really wanting me to take his picture.

Superman jump!

Scott was actually able to join us which normally dont happen because he is at work and our weekends are filled with baseball.

Beckym making a splash.

Look at him fly.

Cadynce trying to jump like Beckym but not quite.
