My preparation for kids

I have to say, Ty and I have the cutest nieces and nephews. They are so cute, they are probably what pushed me over the edge of being ready to have our own kids. For Labor Day, we were lucky enough to get to spend 5 days in Dallas with Ty's family (Thanks Tim and Linda!). It is always so much fun to see all the new things the triplets have learned since the last time we saw them. They are just so cute!

We are also so lucky to have Kristen, Adam, and sweet little Caden in Longview, FINALLY! It has been fun to get to see Caden a lot more often. Kristen needed to run somewhere the other day so she dropped Caden off for a bit. He is a busy busy boy and we had lots of fun!

The first thing he always wants to do is ride on the broken tractor in the backyard.

Next, we played some Lincoln Logs and he built a killer cabin.

After the Lincoln Logs, we were a little bit thirsty, so we got some wholesome Dr. Pepper.

After a quick, refreshing drink of Dr. Pepper, it was time to go outside again to climb some trees.

And then it was back to the tractor. He couldn't quite figure out how to put the key back in.


Of course when you go outside, it is important to take your shoes off when you come back inside.

We ended our afternoon with come great music from the mix master!

We are so blessed to have such sweet neices and nephews! It is definitely helping us prepare.
