Playground Fun

We went to a local part (one of many times) and just had a lot of fun!
Daddy and Amelia swinging together.  Amelia was so excited they were side by side.
As usual - Lando wants to keep up with his big sisters and therefore wanted to be on the big swings.
Isabelle has such a sense of adventure!  My heart was racing with these climbs!
Swinging around like a little monkey!

And Lando goes climbing too!  He never wants to be left behind!
Our 3 kiddos.  Love them all to pieces.
This was the summer of dresses for these 2 girls!  Never wanted to wear anything else!  And it flowed into the fall too!


Sister picture!
Love those little arms hanging over the bar!   Daddy's still on his crutches!

Lots of smiles while on the road!

Papa's Racin' Birthday

Had to get a quick picture of Joey.

For Russ's 60th birthday - we all went to Des Moines to celebrate!

Off to the races!
As you can see in the background - Daddy is on crutches - Amelia called them 'stitches' pretty much the entire 6 weeks.   Love those word mishaps.

Finally got one where Landon didn't run away!  All the grandkids!
And a front shot!
Papa racing his car around the track.
Aunt Amber with Landon - Landon is looking for the cars to go around
Paige and Cate waiting for Papa to finish
Victory is had!   I imagine some sort of Top Gun song playing in the background as he comes walking down the home stretch.  His mission accomplished.
Landon downing water!  It was so hot!
A new family picture!  Wow has this bunch grown!
Papa and Landon

What can be better than some impromptu slip 'n slide action?
Isabelle is on the slide, Paige is walking and not sure who is at the end.

Amelia and Paige enjoying some bubbles and relaxation!
Isabelle and Alaina going down together!   Landon would have nothing to do with the sliding part
Aunt Amber finally got him to sit on the end.   Aunt Amber is takin' a break from sliding!
Group photo!   So much fun!  Kind of crazy and really sore the week after, but totally worth it!
I love Olivia's posing in these!
Landon's view of the world!
Daddy got into the action too!
