2nd Birthday and a Family Reunion...

Aunt Karoline is 15 weeks pregnant and not feeling very well in the mornings. If any of you know us well you know that our house is loud and crazy by 6:15am. At home she and Lulu sleep in till 8:00 but while they were here they pretended to be Murray's. We went to garage sales, the park, the pool, the mall etc. We also had a water obstacle course in our backyard. Sissy and Junie wanted Aunt Karoline to do it... she was a good sport.
Twice around...

Into the goal.

Around the chairs.

Nice job!! The kids were happy.

This picture is mostly of my pepper plants.

Sweet garage sale finds. Fifty cents each was too hard to pass up. More dress up.

I hope big Scott doesn't check this post. He might be a little mad about Macker in a dress...

Macker wondered into our room before 6 and I gave him a some birthday love. He kept saying "I two years" We waited for the kids to wake up. They came downstairs together singing happy birthday. They had been making cards and wrapping presents up in Sissy's room. Sis gave him one of her favorite shinny coins and Scotty gave him one of his silly bandz.
When the visitors heard all the noise they couldn't help but wake up and join the fun. We ran out the door for some birthday donuts. We brought candles and a great time.

Macker, how's the donut??

Our community had a huge storm and tons of flooding. The kids loved it.

When we got home we all kicked off our shoes and took a walk around the block to find more water.

The kids loved walking in the rain.

Next up, the Illinois (my dad's side) family reunion. All the birthday boy wanted to do was kiss Nanny.
