Rain, Rain...

...Go Away

Come Again Another Day!!

These are some pictures of the torrential down pour we had three weeks ago!! Over 11' of rain fell in a matter of a few short hours!! It was something like out of a movie!!
We managed to get a little break in between the rains to go outside and 'play' in the 'puddles' and a few others that are worth sharing!!

we had just planted our flower beds...

another look at the front yard...

the back was not as bad as the front

Carsen Elise splashing it up!

Brayden in mid flight!

Best Friends having such a good ol' time!

Walker James not sure what to do...

Daddy and Walker James checking out the rain...

this is what happens when you get bored...

Carsen Elise asked to put all of her bows on her head...
not all could fit
1) she doesn't have enough hair!
2) her head is not big enough yet, but I am sure this will be done again!

Doctor, Doctor...

...Give Me The News
sung by Robert Palmer, but whoever sings its, its a catchy tune!
Brayden had his tonsils and adenoids removed about a month ago and let me tell you, never again will I do this to my family!! Had we only known before hand what the aftermath was going to be like for the next three weeks, we would have said nope! But he is great now and things are back to norm, if there is such a thing!

Brayden and his buddies...

...Brayden and Daddy...

...this was before...

...and after!
(if only he would have stayed this way)

One, Two, Three...

...Four, Tell Me That You Love Me More...

Feist sings this fun song, if you haven't heard of it, you should find it!

Carsen Elise, you are such a blessing, a joy, a handful, the love of our lives... you are our one and only sweet baby girl! You will forever be 'momma's baby girl' and I cannot even begin to tell you that enough times, I Love You, I Love You, I Love You... MOST!! You have such an amazing tender heart and sweet soul! We had a bumpy weekend with your birthday weekend, but it was a party that we all needed! We love you sweet baby girl...
Happy 4th Birthday!!
