Day 211

New babies...again.

day 210

Today Miss P and I went shopping for school supplies and her backpack for 4K! Really exciting stuff! But why do children immediately want the one you do not want them to have??!! I am probably a terrible mother, but I will not let her go to school with a huge, plastic, light up Princess backpack. I know, I know...it's about what SHE wants.  So, I hope she's not upset when she's likely the only one with a messenger bag...but this was our compromise. And I promise, she loves this one as much as the first 4 I said no to. :)

day 209

Happy Birthday, Buddy!

day 208

Somebody went potty in the big boy potty for the first time!! Whoo hoo!

day 207

The kiddos LOVE Grandma Brenda's ipad. They love it so much, that when I tell them she's coming over, that's what they ask for! So....Grandma bought them this perfect book...a mimic of "Goodnight Moon" to help them transition away from the ipad.

day 206

These moments make me wish they would stay little forever.

day 205

Living by a school is great. Go for a walk...watch the nieces play tennis. All in a good day's fun.

DAY 204

Love our neighborhood.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.

day 203

Everyone is wiped out today. It's definitely a Leap Pad kind of day.

day 202

Saturday night. The start of the 10 (and counting) loads of laundry. SIGH.

day 201

Beach babes. (I love Ev's curly mullet!)

day 200

CAMPING!

day 199

Day 199 is sideways. I have too many other things to do. So, it's staying this way. Madden and Paisley running around at Craig's kickball game.

day 198

Grandpa and his girls. Bub-bye. :( See you in 90 days.....

day 197

....AND, again. This time, the tote with toys was used as a stool to get on top of the dresser and into the diaper cream. I hope one day these boys give me back rub after back rub to repay me for years two and three.

day 196

Pretty much every morning, Oscie jumps on me and wants under my covers. He makes it so hard to get out of bed! (notice his fresh, new haircut!:) )

day 195

My Saturday nights sure aren't what they use to be......but I wouldn't have it any other way.

day 194

My work family.

day 193

Watching Daddy play ball

day 192

Prayers are such an important part of our bedtime routine. Tonight, I'm asking that you pray with us--my uncle Larry is in the ICU on a ventilator. He is suffering the terrible effects of ALS. We love you!  

day 191

When I started my undergrad, I went for Communicative Disorders. If I only would have known that two of my four children would be in speech therapy---maybe I wouldn't have consumed so many beverages and would have attended class more.  

day 190

T-minus 10 days until the Bergs attempt to go camping for two nights.

day 189

Playin in the basement....

day 188

Somehow, Mike and I pulled off a surprise 50th party for my mom. She was totally surprised, and her best friends from several hours away came to celebrate! Here she is with her sister and brother.

day 187

Happy Birthday to my mom! The most beautiful, caring, generous and fun mom/grandma ever!

day 186

We had thee best seats for the show! Happy 4th of July!

day 185

The little guy needs a hair cut so bad! Yes, that is his face in the center...he has some serious bangs!

day 184

The four year old in our house is all of the sudden having a difficult time going to sleep without crying and getting out of bed. SO, the rock jar is back in full effect. The thing works like a charm. (knock on wood)

day 183

I took this picture right before she got into some paint thinner at G&G... and then while I was frantically throwing her in the bath tub, Hudson turned the water to HOT and she burned her hand. Good times.
