When my brothers were here a few weeks ago Glenn & I took all the kids to the lake to play. Not actually to the lake but a little water park by the lake. It was fun watching them run all over the place having fun with each other. Above - Kylee Roberts, Emry & Lila Wallwork, Iree Mitchell, Keira Roberts
I am laughing at this picture because I just wanted the 2 boys but at the last minute Keira literally jumped into the picture. That girl has a way of working herself into any shot.
Nathan & Keira Roberts, Ethan Wallwork
Glenn is soaking up some rays, him & I are opposite that way. You'll always find me huddled in the shade while he's always seeking out the sun. Soak it up Glenn, it just means I'll always look younger than you which is fine by me.
Look who came to say hello?
Glenn with Emry & Ethan. I don't get all mushy on this here blog but I love this picture. Glenn is a fantastic father and the kids adore him. The other day we were asking them if we got divorced (hypothetically of course, we're just weird parents who ask those kind of questions) who they would want to live with. They all said their dad. I think Emry's exact words were "We love you mom because you're sweet and nurturing and read to us and stuff, but dad's just more fun". I am taking credit for choosing a seriously great dad for my kids.
Glenn & Ethan. heartbreaking
Whaddaya know?
Another fun day in the sun. Check.
I always love how you tell a story Marie!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day! And that pedal car is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteTroy is obviously the fun one in our family :) Tiffiny calls them Disneyland Dads and us County Fair Moms. I'm like you, hiding in the shade. Gotta keep my skin soft and smooth.
ReplyDeleteTotally! I love it,I AM the county fair mom. Or Glenn's the Nordstrom dad to my Goodwill mom :)
DeleteGooner just told me that ALL those girls are her friends. I like her attitude!
ReplyDeleteLittle girls are the sweetest. They will literally make a friend in one second, play with her for five, and then give big ol' bear hugs when they part like they've known each other forever.
DeleteNo worries, my kids would choose their great dad too and I love him for it. Another sweet memory in the books for your family.
ReplyDeleteI snorted when I saw that Keira popped up on Glenn again. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteAs for choosing a great dad...you certainly did. Looks like you chose a great husband too!! :-)
So many men miss out on being good fathers. Bravo to Glenn for "being there."
ReplyDeleteI mean, really. You take the most hysterical snaps, like the one where Ethan is laying just flat as can be on the concrete!
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely wonderful that your children adore their father so much and that he so clearly loves them. I so hope that Marcus will be that father one day!
I love that he is so close with the kids like that. It's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! And how interesting that they all would go with dad, they must forget who cooks and feeds them. Im pretty sure my boys would go with Kev too, us Moms are so nagging ;) Beautiful pictures as always.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! Good for you for choosing such an amazing dad for your kiddos. You guys have such a beautiful family.. strong, stable, secure. xoxo
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun day in the sun, I'm wishing already I was omewhere in a waterpark or beach, rather than here in the city! Hope your hubby reads this post. Such a blessing to see a wonderful family.
ReplyDeleteso darn cute. Fabulous post, love! If you get a sec, I'd love to hear your thoughts on my latest post for LaurenConrad.com. xo

I absolutely love the pictures of Glenn and the kids, it looks like they are having some very important conversation and making memories that will last a lifetime. You have a great eye for capturing little moments.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!! Swimming was always a highlight of our summers growing up. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a Wonderful Wendesday! :)

Ah, hopefully yours kids know how lucky they are to have such cool parents that do fun stuff with them like this. If not, remind them! Lucky ducks! Great photos. Wish I had been there!
ReplyDeleteThey do cause I tell them all the time :)
Deleteaw, so much fun! and this all looks like so much fun! :)
ReplyDeletexo TJ
Cool bicycle thingy!!!
ReplyDeleteThat picture of Ethan and Glenn facing each other on the wall? My cup runneth over...
That looks like a perfect day to me and all of your pics are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! You can tell by the photos you take how much you love your family, Marie. Love it!
ReplyDeleteForgive me if I'm repeating myself here but my 7-year-old has that same purple and green bathing suit! Too funny. I think I see her stuff on your blog all the time. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have the cutest family and the best photos.
Hope you enjoy the weekend and the great weather Marie!
Cute! :) It looks like the kids had great fun.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love Ethan in that pic with Glenn and Emry, he looks RELAXED. What a great family, and I love that you're cool with coming in second (because it means they have a great dad!)--although I'm sure after just a week of fun and none of that "nurturing" stuff, they'd come running for some good food and some peace and quiet :)
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. Honestly though I could never compete against Glenn, he's the best.
DeleteCool activity. Best way to beat the summer heat. It's great when we realize that the kids are having so much fun with us.
ReplyDeleteI concur Marie. If you & Glenn ever split up, I might pick Glenn too ;) So funny! You captured Kiera's "You will love me!, like or it or not" quirkiness in these photo's. Looks like I missed out on a fun day. So glad I have a record of at least the days my kids spent with you to look back on :) <3 Jeannette
ReplyDeleteSeriously the more I look at these pictures the harder I laugh. Keira is too funny!
DeleteGood job on picking a fantastic dad...but ask them next time if Dad will prepare the delicious food that you do?
ReplyDeleteEventually they would get hungry and at least want to come visit you.
Those picks at the lake are phenomenal.
