A Step Inside

I love these simple moments caught of the littles… Simply being themselves, exploring what lies outside the window.. Little noses pressed against the glass, lots of little fingerprints as well <3

This year was a great year for Kaylor participating in Junior High track.. Lots of hard work, and lot of track meets.. It was so much fun watching her compete. She really has a natural athleticism about her. Her relay team even qualified & competed at track. They finished first place in their heat, but didn’t make medals. There were SO many kids there from all over the state.. We were so proud of her dedication w/ track.. Go, K go!

These never get old.. I’m in constant awe when sunsets like these pop up out our back door..

Young spirit, fit & active… Age really IS just a number, right?  Happy birthday mom… Blessed to call you mom!

Kaylor doesn’t think making nice faces is fun for her mom taking pictures… I would agree that these make for much more fun blog posts 😉

Rowen must have been showing Steve a very serious video on Youtube.. 

We have fully embraced our warmer temps…  Playing, laughing, running, tossing frisbees, throwing & catching balls, swinging, sand box, splashing, enjoying our neighbor friends… We definitely put our large backyard space to use, and the kids love every minute of it.. It’s those moments when coming in for the evening when the sun sets deep into the horizon, grass stained feet climb the deck stairs, and kiddos more than ready for baths that make me smile, and feel simply blessed.

Payton runs & runs until his heart is content these days..

I installed a plastic fencing all along our wrought iron fence for him to stay safely in our yard.. Little guy could fit right through the rails!

And these two are still best buds.. Although Kitty chases Payton around the yard way more than the other way around!.. It’s super cute.
