Unfortunately, the little boy that I mentioned in my last post passed away on Saturday night. Please pray for Steve and Shiloh Staples (parents) and Abigail (his big sister.)

Bad Blogger Award.....goes to Jill!

SO Sorry!!! (I started this post last week, but am having problems getting pictures uploaded and to move around through the post. So...here are a few pics, and then I will post a separate post with just pictures.)

We've been busy enjoying the summer! We have gone swimming a couple of times. The kids like being in the water. I want to take them to the kiddie pool at our park, but it has just been so dang hot! Here are some pool pics....

Two weeks ago we (Taylor and my parents) took the kids to the Fort Worth Stockyards to ride the Tarantula Train. It was so much fun! They boys have really gotten into trains, so they were super excited. When we first got there I was holding Adam next to the train. He was saying "Choo-Choo, Please!" over and over again! He couldn't wait to get on! It was an hour long trip, and they did so good!

They have been talking up a storm! Adam is putting two words together, and all three are repeating just about everything we say. They love to sing! They try to sing "ABC", "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Pat a Cake." I need to get video!

I found out from a friend that there was a new recall on our baby cribs. The Government website for recalls had the cribs as the number one recall! Anyway, I tore down the cribs on Monday, took them back to Walmart, and got them toddler beds! They have done really well! As with anything, it has taken time. At first they would just run around their room and play. So, for the last two days I have let them spend a large amount of time playing in their room and on their beds. Last night I really emphasized that it was time for bed, and not play time. It took about 45 minutes for everyone to be totally asleep. Tonight it only took 15 minutes! Here are some new pictures!

Finally, we did the kids' two-year pictures at the golf course. It took us two trips out there, because it started raining the first time! She took over 200 shots, so here are some of the best. Adam is in the red shirt.

Please Pray for a Friend
