Tea Time Table

Chuck's mom came out to visit last weekend and she brought Chloe a new little table! Agnes' dad (Chuck's grandpa) had made it for his sister and then she passed it onto Agnes later. We appreciate the hard work that Agnes put into it and it's a special addition to our home...and Chloe's tea parties!

Chuck and Agnes went golfing on Sunday afternoon...they were both tired when they got back!

Playing some UNO on the new table!

We enjoyed having her out for a visit and the new table gets a lot of use from the kids!!

Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday

Meeting my nephew, Alexander Bear, in the hospital (September 2006). I was newly pregnant with Kieran at this time too....but no one knew it yet (except Chuck) when this photo was taken :-)

Wordless Wednesday

A Sweet Day!

We had a fun-filled sweet sort of day last Saturday! Great family time and fun memories!

 

Saturday morning we did a "donut date."

 

After daddy got home we got a bite to eat and then surprised the kids with some putt-putt golfing! Who knew you could do 18 holes in only 40 minutes with 3 kids?!

She's got this!

Kieran got 2 holes in one on Saturday!

Kiptyn taking his time to hit the ball right on!

A nice smile before "teeing" off!

He usually hit his ball once then went and picked it up, sat it down by the hole and hit it in! Win!

Is this what you call an "obstacle?"

Trying to hit her own ball!

Little person on the course!!

 

We ended the evening with some Sonic shakes and then some hide n seek tag with the neighbor kids...in the dark...with glow sticks!

 

Kiptyn keeps suggesting that we go back to "that golf place" everyday! We do look forward to doing it again sometime...but, I think we've got lots of other "fallish" things to look forward to!

So thankful for these precious family times!

 

 

Batman Birthday Boy!

As mentioned in the previous post, we had a big birthday weekend celebrating Kiptyn's birthday! Our big Bear party was on Saturday with cousins and then our neighbor friends came over on Sunday for a Batman party!

Kiptyn with his cake! Happy 4th Birthday!

My parents came out for the party too!

Blowing out the candles!

We had the water sprinkler going for the kids since it was so hot that day...the reason Kiptyn has no shirt on at this point!

Friends eating cake and ice cream!

Opening fun gifts!

Batman piñata...pulling the strings to see who can get it to open!

Candy!!

Even though it was hot, we had a great time with our friends!

Birthday Boy(s)

We had a big birthday (last) weekend celebrating Kiptyn's birthday, as well as my 3 nephew's birthdays (August and September) on the Bear side of the family.

These photos posted a bit out of order, but you get the idea!

My nephew, Andrew, celebrated his 1st Birthday! He loved his cake!!

The Birthday Boys! Kiptyn, Alex, Andrew and Asher.

 We were missing my nephew Luke who also has a September birthday.

Opening gifts!

The awesome John Deere cupcakes that my neighbor made for Kiptyn's birthday with the Bear family!

Watermelon!!

Swimming in the little pool....

and the big pool!

 

Most of the Bear side of the family was unable to come because of other commitments or sickness, so we were a small, but fun group!!
