How did August go so fast???

August has been a great month for the Ballards! We have had several days at the Fort Carson outdoor pool which has been so much fun, played with friends and just enjoyed being kids (yes, many popsicles have been consumed in the process)! Jake has his fifth birthday coming up tomorrow and we are very excited - look for the race car pictures soon. Cade has fell into a pretty steady routine of eating, playing in the dirt and sleeping! Nick just starting climbing out of his crib and his parents are begging him to slow down! Here are some pics...

New game of dumping water on our heads makes us giggle!

Splash!!

Big brother Jake is teaching little Nickers to play ball.

Nick says I got it coach!

Meanwhile the cheering crew is having a little cucumber from the garden.

Classic pasta pic!

Here's the real noodle kid!

Don't forget a dinner pic of me...almost 5 years old!

I'm ready for the pool dad! This was when mom went to California with her college girlfriends for a girls weekend. The boys all had fun with dad!

Lovin' my wheels

We went to the pool (Fort Carson - our new favorite) with neighbors Keri and Bailey! We had a soda and cinnamon roll break - call that a great day
