So this is what it's like to have kids....EXHAUSTING!

Natalie and our two favorite boys were here this weekend. We played with dinosaurs, pirate swords, pump rockets, and cars that change color in the water (when this chemist finally figured it out for everyone). We played RockBand and went to an Orioles game. Sean even babysat for awhile and took them to the playground! It was a great, exhausting weekend, but so much fun.

RockBand rockin' out...even Natalie got into it!
Dallin, Sean and Rox watching Dora this morning.

The boys were so good with Rox this time, and Rox was sooooo good with them. They were petting her and hanging on her the whole time and she took it in stride. Makes we feel a lot more comfortable about her with babies for when we eventually have one!

GREAT WEEKEND

Tornado Alley

We came home from helping my parents move to Grandmom's house at the end of July to this:
That is half of our neighbor's tree on our deck. Luckily it didn't damage the deck and nothing fell on the house. When we first turned in to our neighbor, it seriously looked like a tornado had come straight down the road - there were trees on top of cars, on rooftops, and debris everywhere. Sean started freaking out because we have a HUGE oak tree in the back yard we swore was going to be down. Thankfully that didn't happen; only 1 branch fell from the oak and it fell straight down into our yard. It seems like it was only the pear trees all over that fell. So, the neighbor got the rest of the tree taken out yesterday and now we have NO privacy between the two houses! Oh well.
Needed a pic of the pup! She cracks me up!
