Hiking at the Celery Bog

Since everyone was in town for Melanie's wedding, the kids got to do lots of playing with their cousins. One morning we all took a walk at the Celery Bog in Lafayette. This post is a few pictures from that walk.

Cousins

The boys finally got to meet their newest cousin, Grey. Grey is three weeks older than Jaylee, so the boys thought they knew just what to do with him. Grey isn't used to having older kids right in his face, but he tolerated it well.

This is all of the 2010 Gibb grandchildren. They are also all laying on matching blankets made by Grandma Hillyard.

Jaylee and Grey liked checking each other out.

Chewy

Doesn't Chewy look sweet?

Yes, he is sweet. Well he was until I realized that he was sleeping on a table. Yes, and to make it worse the table is covered with one of Riley's Africa skins! Chewy is a unique dog...

Easton's First Day of School

Easton has just started his first year of pre-school! I can not believe how big he has gotten! So far he loves school and likes to tell us all about it when it is over each day. He is such a cute little student. Here are a few pictures from his first day...

Late Summer in Indiana

Some of the best parts of summer are seeing newly baled hay and eating apples fresh off of the tree. (Or eating them off of the ground, Brady found that fun as well.)

Great-Grandmas are Great

Riley and I were lucky enough to have two of our grandmas come and visit this August. Below are a few pictures of them.

This is my grandma. She spent lots of hours of her vacation snuggling with and smiling at Jaylee. She also really enjoyed playing with Easton and Brady, but somehow I didn't get any pictures of that.

This is Riley's grandma holding all of her great - grandchildren that were born in 2010. The Gibb Girls did a good job of making babies this year!

This is Riley's grandmother with all seven of her great - grandchildren. They range in ages from 3 months to 4 years old. It was so fun to see those kids pile around her!
