Jr. Beta Club Induction

Carson was inducted into the Jr. Beta club at her school. It basically recognizes kids for getting good grades. Along with being in the club you also have to do some community service which is GREAT- I just have to find a few more hours in my week so we can get her to her volunteer work!

Stupid kid tricks

Let me just tell you that we have some talent around here. Brett decided he wanted to try to balance a spoon on his nose- I think he saw someone on tv do it. WOW! Are you as impressed as I am?

And so it begins...again

Don't adjust your monitor-Brett's jerseys are HIGHLIGHTER YELLOW!

Soccer season is upon us...again. We had a busy soccer day with Brett's game in the morning and Carson & Reese's game in the afternoon. Thankfully it was a beautiful day so it was pleasant to be outside. Both teams did great and the kids had fun!

More Hardware

Hadley had another gymnastics meet this past weekend and she did sooooo good. She won the GOLD in the all-around and medaled in each event (Gold-beam, Gold-vault, Bronze-floor, Bronze-bars). She has worked so hard all year and we are very proud of her.

Fashion Show

Since Kalyn was visiting for the weekend we took the girls out to look for Jr. Bridesmaid/Flower girl dresses for Kalyn"s wedding. Boy did they enjoy trying on and modeling all the different styles at the bridal store (I am a little frightened of what the future may hold for me with 3 girls who LOVE to shop and try on clothes!). Here are a few of the samples.

Look who's 2!!!

Whitaker celebrated his 2nd birthday! YIPPEE! No big party but luckily Mimi, Kalyn and Patrick plus Gram & Grandpa were able to help us celebrate. Whit loves ELMO so he got an Elmo cake and balloons. He wasn't so sure about the big Elmo balloon but he eventually warmed up to it. He got lots of new stuff- Elmo Live (talking Elmo doll), new trucks, bubbles and playdough! What more could you ask for?

Singing in the rain

It was ANOTHER rainy day but warm enough to play outside despite the wetness. My kiddos really need to get out and run everyday. It makes them happy and more pleasant to be around. It was only drizzling so out we went. They built umbrella forts and splashed in puddles!
