Who needs a spoon?

Sam came to play

Sam and Sara came to play today! Jackson and Sam played so well together and he introduced her to Star Wars and light sabers ( or "life savers" according to Sara).





Sam wore her tutu today so it was so cute to see her in her girlie outfit playing with swords :) They made tents and played so well together while Ella was busy talking on the phone and wandering around.
After playing, lunch and more play time, Jackson and Sam were in the dining room and got very quiet...never a good sign with kids. Sara and I wondered what was going on but did not immediately go to check. This is what we found...


Apparently Sam decided that she needed some lipstick and Jackson thought he would help!

We had a fun day and loved spending time with our friends!

Happy 4th of July!

We had a great 4th at the Irons this year! We had some friends come out along with our family and it was a perfect evening. The kids played and swam, Scotty and Cindy made a fabulous meal and Jason, Jared and Brad put on a fireworks show and with only one slight malfunction (ahem...almost caught the house on fire) they managed a great show! I love the 4th of July, it is one of my favorite holidays!

Visiting with Nana

This past week we went to see Nana and had a fun time! The kids loved being able to swim whenever they wanted and we spent lots of time doing so! Jackson is a little fish and Ella was swimming by herself (with floaties) by the end of the week. Nana loved watching them and it was fun for me because I have memories of being little and swimming all day in that pool just like they were doing. Nana loved playing with the kids, watching them swim and reading to Ella. It is very sweet to see her with my babies. I love any time I get to spend with my Nana and feel so blessed to still have her and have the close relationship that I do with her. I hope that my children are blessed with as many years with their grandparents as I have been with mine.

We took the kids to Fiesta Texas one day with Pop and Uncle Ron and had a ball! Jackson loved the roller coasters that he was able to ride and he especially loved the waterpark. He even rode of the big water slides by himself! Ella loved the little rides too and was a trooper in the heat. It was a fun day!
