Family Pictures!!

Thanks to our friend Angie we got some family pictures!! She does such a good job. We had a lot of fun. The kids cooperated for the most part and thankfully so did the weather!! Here are a few of my favorites..

My sweet girls..



Maddie thought she was so funny. I couldn't help but laugh at her through the whole thing. She was pulling some pretty cute faces.





They actually look like they could get along with each other...and maybe...even like each other!!



This picture captures Bailey's personality perfectly!!

While the Older Kids Are Away...the Little Kids Will Play

Bailey likes that the older kids get to go to school because that means she gets everything to herself!! She likes to go into Jayden's room and play with his Pokemon cards and play with Halle's babies or whatever else she can find. Then she plops herself on the couch and grabs the remote and tries to find what she wants to watch. She and Maddie are becoming best friends and worst enemies. It is fun to watch them play together.



School Already?!!

With all the rain in June...we feel a little ripped off that summer flew by so fast!! But school is also an exciting time of year. The kids were excited to go back and i have to see that I am adjusting pretty well myself to having 2 kids at home for a majority of the day. At the same time, it is kind of sad...Bailey is wanted to do home school after the older two left so we did. She was so cute, we started off writing numbers and we got to number 5 and I said "down and around and give it a hat" while I drew it then I told her to try and she looked and me and smiled and said "I'm scared". Then we both started laughing. She has such a fun personality. She gets to do a cooperative preschool with some other kids in the neighborhood once a week so she is excited about that.

Summer Tradition

For the kids, summer is not summer unless they do a lemonade sale!! They begged day after day for me to let them do it. They even offered to do everything themselves. They were so cute and they took on the role of businessmen and were very professional with all their customers. It is one of those "I am so proud" moments. At the end of the day we were splitting up the money and I came to find out that one girl had spent $40 on a couple glasses of lemonade and some candy!! Jayden was so excited and thought he was going to get to get the Wii game he has been wanting. So we had to have a talk about being honest and doing the right thing. We took the money back and the mom was very thankful. :)

Family Reunion

We had a family reunion up at Heise!! Chris and Jayden were able to go rock climbing. Jayden wanted to do it again and again. They were pretty tired when they were done. I was very impressed with how good they did.
