Pony Party!

Today was Macy's My Little Pony Party at a local stable. It was hot, but sunny and fun.  Adam and (a very tired) Jonah even came along.

Charlotte and Macy's mom, Judie.

Charlotte walked with the horse before it was her turn to ride.

I am so proud of her for riding; I thought she would get scared, but she didn't.

Picture of the face paint with Daddy before a bath. (They're apples, like the pony Apple Jack has.)

There's a video also, but I'm having trouble loading it right now; I'll post it later. Thank you Macy and Judie for a great party!

Summer 2013 Ohio Trip Part 2

We had such a great time in Columbus, and I hope you enjoy these pictures from the trip. Thank you Barney and Kim for your hospitality! We love you!

Playing with the tent and tunnel

Jonah loved the tunnel

Touching the starfish with Grandma

Walking with Papa to see the manatees

Can I reach that?

Where are they?

I see them.

Walking through the kangaroo exhibit at the zoo

The reason for the traffic jam was Caroline, asleep on the path

We should come to the zoo for the playground more often!

Playing together

 

This looks like fun...

Last night dinner

Of course...

This picture was a necessity. When we saw this huge purse in front of a purse store at Polaris, We knew that Charlotte NEEDED her picture taken with it. 

Ohio Trip Summer 2013 Part 1

These are the pictures from the Cincinnati leg of our trip to visit my parents. Mom and Dad, we had a great time! Love you!!

We took my parents lunch, and the kids played in a gazebo outside of my old high school.

 Pictures of them together at this age are a little difficult, but this is a cute one.

 Jonah and Uncle Charlie

 One of the days, we went to the Disney Store to let the kids run around. Jonah had a blast!

We got the chance to visit with my parents' neighbor, Elizabeth. She is so sweet with my kids, and Charlotte was very excited to see her.

 Adam snapped this picture of my mom and me; we both look hot, because it was hot that day!

Elizabeth gave Charlotte a book, and read some of it to her. This picture is very sweet to me.

 We had a great time, Mom and Dad, and we hope you did too! Love you (and get some rest!)!

The First Post

Well, ladies and gentlemen (and by that, I mean our out-of-state families), welcome to the inaugural post of my newest blog: Guiding Their Hearts. <pause for applause> For about six months, I knew that my singular blog was getting too jumbled, and that if I kept using it to put pictures on, then I wouldn't really try to write for it. So, this blog was born; this blog to keep us all connected even though we live far apart from each other. This is the blog where I will post all of the kids' cute videos and pictures. Sometimes I'll write pertinent things here to keep you in the loop, but I know that you love our children, and since you can't see them as much as you like, this little piece of technology is the next best thing.

The old pictures and videos are still on the other blog if you ever are looking for them; I'll work on transferring them later, but for now, sit back and enjoy! Hugs!
