what we do on our days off

We have a little tummy time...

(Maggie is 6 months old in this pic.)

...play a little dress up...

(Ruby is dressed up like a dragon.)

...watch a little tv...

(With a back pack and glasses, of course.)

...and do a little running and jumping.

Days off are loads of family fun!

babysitter responsibilities

We have had the BEST babysitters this summer. Miss Emily and Miss Blair were our sitters for the first half of the summer and Miss Blair and Miss Peyton...who are sisters...are our sitters for the second half.

Here are some of their daily responsibilities.

Boo Betty Fum

Also know as the Blueberry Farm. It's right around the corner from kamp and Dave and I love to take Zoey and Ruby for breakfast. They have the BEST pancakes! Check out their web site and go for a visit if you're ever in the neighborhood.

sung as a bug

No matter how many times I pull her lovie off of her face, Maggie puts it right back on. She LOVES to cuddle. Maggers takes her afternoon nap in the bathroom while Zo and Rubes "rest" in their bunk beds. Poor third baby...  :)

Fourth of July Festivities

The 4th of July at K7 is absolutely fantastic. And it's especially fun now that Zoey and Ruby can enjoy dressing up, being in the parade and seeing the fireworks.

Our day began with a visit to the office while all the office girls prepared for the parade. Ruby, Zoey and Maggie pose for a picture with their babysitters Miss Blair and Miss Emily.

Decorations for the Office Girl float in the parade.

Zoey proudly displaying the Cribbs girls' star.

She looked so cute in both pics, I couldn't decide which one to use. When in doubt...post both.

Candace is my fabulous Head Office Girl. She was a little concerned about the balloons carrying her away.

Maggie truly enjoyed her first 4th. Her lovely headband was a gift from one of my Office Girls. Thanks, Christie!

Miss Blair and Maggie are getting ready for the parade.

The Cribbs Family of five ready for the parade.

Ruby had the camera during the parade and captured the entire thing from her point of view. Many of the pics were super creative and cool. I had to include this self portrait.

After the parade was our K7 Leadership Reunion. Here is Ms Kelli (prego with baby #1) getting a little baby practice with Maggie.

After dinner we headed down to the lake for another try at the pie irons. De-lish!

Ruby's pie was too hot so she's waiting for it to cool.

Isaac was helping her blow on it to cool it off.

Zoey and Mylee were showing off their pom-poms.

 Silly girls.

 Before we went to see the fireworks, there was a watermelon party in the street.

 Watermelon and DANCE PARTY! Ruby's getting jiggy with it.

 Maggie cuddled with Miss Blair during the fireworks show.

Zoey thought the camera flash was too bright.

Ruby loved the show! "Ooooooo!"

 

We had a fabulous day. Happy Birthday, America, from the Cribbs Family!

"I'm so busy, mama."

sweet moment

It's so strange to me to have a blue-eyed child. Zoey and Ruby looked so much like me from day one and now I have this beautiful baby with light skin and BLUE eyes. It is fun for Dave, however, to finally have a child who looks like him. They are two peas in a pod.

First Time in the Pool

"She's just laughing like a nut!"

My big sister is so stinking funny!

Family Date Night

We're off to Dos Rios for the first family date night of the summer!

We were celebrating Zoey's "half" birthday! My baby is 4 1/2!!!

Family Pie Night

Dave brought our pie irons to kamp this summer. We invited some our of best kamp friends to the lake to enjoy some hot-out-of-the-fire cherry and apple pies. We had a blast and they were soooo delicious.
