{hipstamatic app}

Got a new app on my iPhone that I've had so much fun with! It's an app that helps take fun pictures using the features of the old hipstamatic camera. Here are a few I've taken in the past few days...

Doesn't this look like a family pic from the 1970's? I think I have a few of these in my baby book.



I love the colors on this one!

Not sure if it's the pic that looks so cool or if it's the fact that it's of a precious baby sleeping!








Another great pic with cool lighting and a precious subject!



The kids wanted to keep going but I won't bore you anymore. Anyway, awesome pics all taken with the iPhone! Check it out!

{friends}

We had the Harrison girls over the other night, which will soon not be what they are called because baby boy will be arriving soon.  They will soon be referred to as the Harrison kids (weird, huh?).  The girls came over and we had a fun-filled night!  Here are a few of the highlights...

We started out eating dinner which was a joke because the kids were too excited to play!

We played outside on the swings!

Parker and Mabry...the best of friends!

We made mud pies.  Sorry Brooke!  Its Hayes's favorite activity and your girls loved it!

Here is Hazel sliding down the slide.  This was her favorite thing.  She climbed up and went down no less than 50 times!

And I wore them out by letting them jump in the moonbounce!

We had a great time and can't wait until they can come back over again!! We love you Harrison's!

{back to school night}

Last week we headed off to back to school night for Hayes. He has been beyond excited to go to "OU school"! Spending the last few weeks watching his sister get ready for school and leave every morning has definitely made him anxious for his turn. He has asked me every day if his school is ready yet. It's so sweet to see him so excited about school but sad to see him getting so big at the same time.



For some reason it's harder to see Hayes grow up than it is to see Parker grow up. I think that's partly because he's my baby. This is the last chance I get to have a baby and it's quickly escaping. Every day we are one step closer to having two grown kids and I'm just not ready for that! Secondly, I'm pretty sure my sweet baby boy will grow up, marry some amazing girl, and never come back to see me. He will have his own life and won't need his momma. I know Parker will always need me and want me around and will never leave me but I can't say that with confidence about my baby boy. He's so dependent on me now but I know that will change. I only hope he won't forget about me!

I know it's only the first day of preschool but he might as well be headed to college. I'm not sure I can take it on Tuesday. I'll keep you posted!

{no more}

Never again will I let my kids play unattended with my iPhone. I was just flipping through the pictures and found 45 pictures of this...



And this...



And this....


Look familiar? It goes on and on and on. It's going to take days to delete all of the nonsense! Crazy kids!

{prayers}

Last night Parker and Hayes had their best friends, the Harrison girls, over to play. They love to play together and get along like brothers and sisters. Before dinner we said a prayer and Harper (3) was the first one to offer to pray. She insisted that everyone close their eyes and clasp their hands. At the Gladhill house we all hold hands and close our eyes. Harper kept saying "no, we do it this way. You have to do it this way!" and Parker would respond with "No, you hold hands!". I was standing back listening to them and thought how sweet that they are fighting over who can pray and how to pray.

After Harper said her prayers and included prayers for everyone she could name, the rest of the kids wanted a turn. It had gone on so long at this point that I had time to get out my phone and video the rest. Here's what I caught.

I will post some pics of our play date soon!

{summer fun}

I can't believe summer is coming to an end. It has been a great summer filled with tons of fun and lots of great memories. It has just flown by! Tonight the kids wanted to play outside and eat popsicles just like we used to do every night when it wasn't 105 degrees at 6:30pm. We braved the heat and headed out.

We love to be outside and play! Parker and Hayes don't mind the heat at all!

Then, Parker decided tonight was the night she wanted to learn to ride her bike without training wheels. I mean she is in Pre-k after all! We reluctantly took off her training wheels and she was off. Well, not exactly by herself but for her first try she did GREAT!

Getting a little love and encouragement from Daddy. We didn't master it tonight but after a few more times she will be ready to roll. She can't wait to ride down to Cole and Jae's house like a big girl! I, on the other hand might have a nervous breakdown soon because my kids are growing up so darn fast!

{snocones!}

Check out this face after his tigerblood snocone...



How cute is that? And a butterfly joined us for snocones too!



"Barbie" is her flavor of choice. Go figure!
