This morning the girls wore similar dresses again and Emelyn asked if we could take a picture to send to daddy (You know, things like this are super important to 4 year old girls…)
So we started taking pictures and both girls were being quite silly…
Then we added a brother who couldn’t care less about clothes (unless they involve pockets, but that is another story…) He does, however, love getting his picture taken…
Somehow after about 15 pictures on my phone, not a single one had everyone smiling, but EVERY picture had someone’s tongue outside of their mouth… why is that?!?
All joking aside, it’s been a fun day (other than being at the doctor’s office trapped in a waiting room for over an hour with all three kids… again, an entirely different story….) Have a good weekend everyone!
Guess who’s 9 months old?!? Our sweet little girl is growing way too fast. Here’s a summary of Ruth at 9 months:
On June 14th, we went to the Arkansas Natural’s Baseball game. It was faith and family night so we were able to enjoy great music before the game, but it was also H.O.T. outside. The kids played in bounce houses during the concert. Somehow I didn’t get any pictures of Isaiah. He actually sat and watched the game. Sporting events are the rare times he doesn’t move, squirm whine or request food every 20 minutes.

Last Sunday, we ventured to a nearby creek for our church’s 3rd annual Float or Flounder. Families, friends and Sunday School groups designed cardboard boats to complete for various awards including fastest boat and the winner of a demo derby. After the entertaining races and demo derby, we enjoyed a fun BBQ and games. I really hope we get around to designing a boat next year!
If you ever tell a 2 year old boy NOT to pick his nose, he most likely WILL pick it.

Walking back to the van to go home after a fun night:
Every June, our little town holds a one day car show/craft fair/kids fest to celebrate the day Johnson became a town. The day was beautiful and we spent a few hours looking at cars, eating lunch, visiting the petting zoo and bounce houses and looking at craft booths.
The highlight of the day for the kids was probably getting to tour a fire truck:
In May we had some rainy weeks which meant lots of time inside. Ruth is so laid back - she doesn’t care where she is:
Emelyn loves all things “crafty” so one day we made a box out of craft sticks:
Isaiah wanted to be part of the action so he sat next to Emelyn and scribbled:
She decided her stamp rings would be the perfect thing for her new box:
By the end of the raining weeks we started to run out of things to do… until we decided to row… it kept the kids occupied for a couple extra days:
