Come back soon!!!

We have had so much fun this past month with lots of visitors at the Bates house! The Davis family came back in to Ft. Worth for a visit and we had the privilege of getting to see them for almost 2 weeks! It was so much fun and of course really sad to see them go...the Peytons came in for the weekend from Austin to catch up and stayed with us as well. We hadn't seen Ainsley since the fall and she has changed so much! She is so stinkin' cute (Caleb had a major crush on her and would sneak kisses every chance he got)! At one point, there were six children in our house...CRAZY TIMES!!! But, it was so much fun to see all of our kids together...Tim and I are so thankful for these PRECIOUS FRIENDS...We love you!

Ainsley, Caleb, Jack, Dustin, Matthew & Luke...lots of kiddos at the Bates' house...although, what's 3 more?! It was super fun to have the Peytons and Davis families visit...

Jack and Dustin playing in the new splash pad...

Ainsley in her cute girly swimsuit...she was such a trooper with all 5 boys! She is a beautiful little girl and so much fun!

Brian baptized Luke which was so incredibly special for us...as you can see, I am trying to "wrangle" the twins in the chair---they were a mess during the baptism! It was also vbs week so we have some lovely background scenery!
