Check out Kingston's new swing set!

Hummmm......? Is this structurally sound?

Has this swing been recalled?

And does this plastic have BPA in it?

Let me get a better look at this swing set....

So far so good, but I will be checking Consumer Reports later...


Do I need a helmet for this slide? It looks a little steep!

Dad are you going to strap me in correctly?

Well, I guess it is safe enough.... Weeeeeee


Wooooooo... Not so high fella!

Why don't we just play hide and seek instead. It's safer!

If only daddy knew how to hide! Ugghh! Geez...

Flowers and Butterflies

The last two weeks we have been in the house alot b/c Kingston has been sick with a stomach bug. But when he was feeling a little better last weekend on Memorial Day we took him to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens and we got to see "Butterfly's Live." It was a fun trip for the whole family, but it got hot and inside the butterfly exhibit we could not take a stroller in so with the butterfly's landing on the floor we were afraid that Kingston would start a butterfly massacre. As you can see we had to hold him back from getting down, but luckily we still got some good pictures in between the squirming and fussing. He was pretty worn out too when we got home as you can see from the last two pictures.



At the beginning of our adventure into the flowers and such...

Daddy and Kingston looking at the pond.

No that's not Oscar either, but another place she would have liked!


The crane was real too. Great picture I might add...=)

Another great picture mommy took! Don't know what these were, but they were as soft as they look.

Don't know the name of these either.... Can you tell we didn't pay attention? ADD What?

Okay, I will "toot" my own horn! Mommy is Great Photographer! Check this shot out!

It took us a while to get this shot. Someone didn't want his picture taken.

Again, sorry don't know the name of this one either.

I know this is a rose, but don't know which type.

Daddy and Kingston walking through the rose garden. It was so pretty and smelled so wonderful!

The observatory in the background is where the "Butterflies Live" were.

More roses, these are daddy's favorite he said.

Butterflies here we come!!!!!

Chad preventing Kingston from jumping....


Pretty butterfly.

Chad started taking pictures when we got to the butterflies, b/c mommy had to hold Kingston.

Awwww, pretty flower.

Another pretty butterfly.

Chad is trying to show me up with his photography of the butterflies.

I can't take anymore butterflies or flowers!

I'm done!

Ghost...???

We were told there was a ghost in our house when we bought it, but we never thought it was true until now....
..


TV can keep children and cats entertained for hours!

When mommy was taking a shower, this is how we stayed occupied.

Our poor cats lives have come to this....

There life has been subjected to gates and more gates! We see "short" people....
