More September 2014

We are lucky to live close to the Plano Balloon Festival. It's so fun to see the balloons every year and even better if they end up overhead or in the neighborhood. Here was the view from our backyard during the festival one day.

The kids at the festival breakfast:

 And here's my cute baby girl.

 With sass pants sister posing. Hit it, Blondie!

Happy First Birthday, Little Sadie Lady.

Sadie turned one year old on September 14th. 

Clearly I couldn't get enough of her cute face.

 Here's Paige haven't a breakdown because the big cupcake isn't hers.

 To be fair, Sadie DID share the sides.

We had a Facetime/Skype chat with grandparents and then enjoyed a fun quiet birthday time with our littlest miss.
After a much needed bath, everyone happily played with the new toy together.

Lake Time with the Jensens!

In September, we met up with the Jensens, who we hadn't seen in much too long to play at Lake Eufala in Oklahoma. The weather was absolutely lovely, and the company even better.

Peter and Cole. Da boys (minus Isaac. Where did he go?)

 Cole was clearly ready for the lake a fifth of a mile down the sandy path. Safety first.

To the lake!

Naomi and Sadie. How cute are these chubby thighed madams?

 

 Dad and Paige.

 Me taking a picture of Dianna taking a picture of Naomi.

 The lake was the perfect temperature, and the shallow water and soft sand went out for a long time making it much easier to keep after all the littles. We loved it.

 Peter was timed out. I have pictures of my own kids timed out on vacation that I find funny, so I figured I could add this one. :)

Alan tossed (and I mean tossed) kids up high out further into the water one day. Seriously awesome.

 Woot!
