One of the great things about homeschooling is the freedom to take off a day or two here or there and just do whatever! We did that in October and I decided to use part of the time to take some pics of the kids. We went out to our friends, Ken and Leigh Ann's farm and let's just say it was bearable. Boys + taking pictures = hard work, a lot of bribing, and negotiating for Mommy! Here are some of the better ones....

A Season of Birthdays
Since I am so behind on blogging, I decided to devote one post to the kids birthdays and their parties. With three birthdays in a 3 month span, we obviously didn't plan very well!
Owen turned 2 on July 6th and a Sesame Street birthday party was definitely a must! We had a great time and all his little friends did, too. Birthday parties for little ones are so easy as long as you have a playground! We had the party at our church, the weather was hot, but good, and everyone was in good spirits (sometimes you never know with 2-year-olds).

Riley's birthday was next on July 28th and she wanted a slumber party with her closest friends, Lacey, Vannah, and Skylar. I took them for pedicures, we had pizza for dinner, watched movies, worked on some crafts, and did lots of girly stuff. What sweet girls!
Make a wish!

Walker's birthday was on September 27th, and we had a bike party at Oak Mountain State Park's BMX track. This is such a cool place, and if you go at the right time, you can have it pretty much to yourself. We went on a Sunday afternoon, took a few friends and had a great time. We are definitely going back in the Spring, and this time we won't forget our helmets!!!
