Happy Anniversary (ies)!!!!

Erin and I have had a lot in common since we met 15 yrs ago. Saturday, we added one more thing to the list. We will share a wedding anniversary from this day (well August 21) forward. I am not objecting at all!!!!

Erin made a BEAUTIFUL bride. Her sister did an AMAZING job capturing the day.






All of my kids were thrilled to witness the wedding. (Nelson was excited too, I just don't have a picture of him from that day)

Happy Birthday, Olivia Lynn!

Olivia turns 2 today. Time has really flown by! So much has changed. Her hair is getting blonder and blonder, she's talking more and more, she used to be content just lying on pillow and watching her brothers play, now she has to be in the center of it!

Liv, thank you for your annimation! We love watching you play dress up, loving your dolls, and chasing after your big brothers.

Happy Birthday, baby doll!

First day of school!

This morning was very exciting! Cooper and Nelson started school. Grandma Nelson got up with us and made pancakes and bacon for breakfast. Then we all marched to the school (since we live less than a mile from it, we no longer can take the bus). The boys were very excited to get into their classrooms and meet their teachers. Tonight we are going to celebrate at http://pizzastreetinc.com/ and then Travis and I are going to go meet Cooper's teacher and find out what to expect this year. (We'll meet Nelson's teacher on Tuesday)

Olivia's birthday party.

This coming week is going to be one of the busiest weeks we've had in a long time. We are going to have the first day of school, a second birthday, a wedding to end all weddings, and an 11th wedding anniversary. The festivities start Wednesday and go until Saturday. We decided because of all that craziness we would celebrate Olivia's second birthday before her birthday, rather than after. We had a great time with family and friends!




The happy Ferris Family!

All 4 kids ready to party hard!

Travis made an amazing castle cake for Liv.

All ready for presents!!!

Olivia sitting with all of her presents.

I was really excited about her first Barbie dolls!!!

Being the center of attention; and soaking it all up!

She doesn't really look like she's having fun, but she loved every second of her birthday!!!!

Too hot to do much!

It's been so hot this week, we've been hiding out in the house.
Maddox decided today the heat was so bad that he would just hang out in his boxers all day. I'm glad that I was able to find enough to do around the house and give him a day of boxers.
Lincoln Logs are always a good way to pass the time.

Olivia decided to stage her own shoe fashion show! It took me 4 pairs to find the camera. Then, when I snapped the picture, I noticed Maddox's arm behind her. Now she looks like a three armed freak.
