So we have moved back to OKC! In order to help get our house in order my sister Chelsei came out to help and she brought her incredibly adorable son Ethan with her. He was so fun and we miss them both. Too bad it was WAY too hot to do anything but stay inside but I guess there's always the next visit.

Molly, Ethan, and I was Chelsei and Marty worked in Bailey's room.

Ethan and Brady in Bailey's bed.

Thanks for the shirts Grandad!

Ethan really was happy, I promise.

Brady was given a Buzz Lightyear costume from my Dad for his birthday, love it and would hardly take it off for two days.

Uncle Marty has a way with Ethan, can't you tell?

We have been reunited with the fabulous Rabus family! Susanne and are are battling over who's stomach will explode first.



Brady had his Oklahoma Birthday Party right after we moved in. The Rabus' came over and even supplied the enteratinment by giving Brady the Elefun Game. We had a blast!

He loved the cake but looked pretty weird after having been stained black from the icing.

Everyone lovng the Elefun game. Sophie had a knack for always catching the most.

PRESENTS!

They LOVED Pin The Tale on the Donkey! Even Elsie...too bad they could see thru the blindfold.

Our summer pligrimage to Yorktown was a blast, as usual. We had birthdays, Chuck E. Cheese, The Sandwich Shoppe, the children's museum, Father's Day, as lots of trips to Yorktown. Needless to say we took lots of pictures, some are here and some are on Facebook and some didn't make it to either b/c there are just too many!

We had a great time celebrating Grandma's birthday with her, going to the beach, having our first water balloon fight and just being with everyone.

Molly got to fly a kite for the first time at Yorktown! Thanks Uncle John!

Chelsei was such a great aunt that she even went to the stocks with Molly in Williamsburg.

We went back to Yorktown to try to get some fmaily pictures, here are some, there are more scattered through Facebook.

This weekend Marty took us up to Atlanta to go to Six Flags and the Georgia Aquarium, two things that we have wanted to do since we moved to Columbus and now that we are about to move we figured that we should go ahead and do it. We went through and Army BOQ to end up at a regular hotel, were blessed by always just missing the rain and made it to the American Girl Store at the mall. It was a fabulous if short trip!

Six Flags was awesome. Marty and I have realized that without any grandparents around we are strictly for the kiddie rides, but that's ok. The lines were very short and Marty was even able to get away with Molly to ride a few of the bigger kid rides. We had a ball!

Six Flags Atlanta has a Thomas the Tank Engine Town, Brady was in Heaven! The kids rode on both Annie and Clarabell pulled by Thomas, climbed on Harold the Helicopter and Bertie Bus and shut down the jungle gym. We had to pull Brady away.

Molly and Brady with Harold!

Brady and Me with Mr. Conductor!

Six Flags also has a water area, Skull Island. Marty took the kids around, I sat, nobody needs to see me in a bathing suit.

Molly LOVED getting all wet, she went under every spray and down all the slides that she could. She had a blast!

Brady dancing his way up to the spray. His suit kept slipping so most of the people there got a view of at least part of his heiny. At least he wasn't the kid who "sprayed" his area, could have been worse.

The kiddies went down this slide over and over again. Molly insisted on having the attendant help her up and out even when she didn't need it. It got a little silly.


We also went to the Georgia Aquarium. The kids had a blast looking at all of the different tanks. The place was PACKED though so we had to walk by several things because we couldn't get close enough to see them. We did get to see the piranha's during feeding time, really gross.

Everyone looking up at the fish floating overhead. Brady kept turning in cricles and saying "Oooooooo..."

The HUGE water tank. Marty and the kids were right up front and divers came

in to answer questions. The kids were very excited as the divers waved to them. It was really cool to see, all kinds of fish, some huge and some tiny.

Marty and the kiddos in a tunnel. They were surrounded by fish but you
couldn't see them and the dish in the same picture.

Marty trying to show Molly that she wouldn't loose her hand by putting it in

the water. She didn't believe him.
