Just another play day!

On Tuesday I ended up picking up Ava and Anabelle (our friends from Seattle) and the kids played outside all day. As you can see from the pictures, they had lots of fun! We have been playing outside alot lately and enjoying this great weather!! Ayden giving Anabelle driving lessons!

Fire Convention

In Indy they have a fire convention downtown. Calvin took some classes there this year and on Friday they have a cookout. It was a really pretty day so we decided to go and meet Amy, Dennis, and Ty Black there. They also have a pumper pull, where the teams pull an old fire truck. The kids enjoyed that. We also got to see some of the guys that Calvin went through training with. It is always good to see friends that you don't see often! I always share the sweet pics but I couldn't resist this one. I didn't even know that she did this until I uploaded my pics. Ayden didn't even complain. That onery little girl.
Right after the first picture, Ayden jumped off the front step and Mya thought she would do the same. Needless to say, she landed on her head. OUCH! This was all going on while we were getting ready to go downtown. Never a dull moment.

Ayden watching the drummers at the cookout. He said " When I get big and I am a firefighter I am going to be a drummer!"

Mya enjoying the hot dogs!

Before the jump! Aren't her pigtails cute!

They had a parade with the bagpipes too. It was really neat. Mya, Ty and Ayden loved it.

Think Pink - Race for the Cure

Well Mom and I and several other friends ventured downtown for the Race for the Cure. I have done it for several years now but this year was extra special because my mom, who is currenly battling breast cancer was able to join me. The weather was absolutely beautiful which made the day even better! There is pink galore, as you can see!

40, 000+ people
