just about caught up

with my blogging.

i think i've come to realize that i take waaaaaayyyyyyy to many pictures.

and when i do that, i don't have the motivation to sort, edit, name, save and post them all.

(oh, and wait patiently while they all load.)

but then i go through them all, over and over again, and i'm so glad that i have them.

have those sweet memories of the fun times we had with Ryan, Misty and the kids.

this post is random, and in no particular order. just fun to look at pics, of the kids having a good time.

Layla loved this air mattress the kids slept on every night.

Sadly, she never slept with them, just cuddled before bedtime.

Sela and Layla had a love/hate relationship.

One minute they'd or I mean Layla would be screaming at Sela,

then the next minute, they'd be playing so sweet.

Like this...

We spent a lot of time doing this...

She looks so grown with her floaties.

But she just wouldn't have it anymore with me or Lance holding her.

Or being stuck in her little tube.

She wanted to get around on her own, and that she did.

(it was so precious seeing her little legs kick herself around that pool)

Ryan may not be to happy with me for putting this up...

but it's to funny to pass.

I put some of Layla's accessories on Savana.

Of course, Layla wanted to flaunt them too.

It's been a long time since she wore a headband and a big flower in her hair.

Trevan l.o.v.e.d this box turtle.

For a bit, he contimplated on taking it home.

But wisely chose to let him go back into the woods.

This was the morning they left.
It was a pretty sad day for all of us.
