FIRST DAY OF THE FIRST GRADE!

FINALLY!!!

He felt like the only one left at school with

no missing teeth. Finally, it became loose

and then one night he wiggled and wobbled

until it came out! YIPPEE! He was soo happy!

Summer shower...

She is not too happy about this little

summer shower putting the brakes on

the bike ride. We were just about to

load up and take a bike ride.

Aidan cheered her up and showed her

how fun it is to run in the rain. It stopped

and we were on our way!

Play-doh explosion!

It's sooo worth it! They love this stuff and keeps

them quiet so I can cook or clean up the kitchen.

Creating calm amidst the chaos.

Another year older...

Just a simple get-together at Fuddruckers.

Comfortable and fun. Everyone enjoyed themselves

and as I blew out the candles I made a wish for

another year with my beautiful family.

mmmm onion rings!

Steven celebrating with me for the first time

(your next little dude)!

Raincoat but no rain!

She didn't need the rain...she loves this thing!

I shed a few tears with those locks...

Curse of the curls. Very short

right after a cut. This was so

traumatic for me but good times for him!

Long Hair

Sweet...early birthday gifts!

I love this apron that Charlotte wore in SITC2!

Sparrows purse...surprise, surprise!

Chillin with woody(s)

watching toy story of course

Bound and determined. She climbed up that slide

even though it took her a long time.

It looks like it was worth it!
I see a haircut in his future...

Swingin'

Woody!

If only she could clean while

carrying the baby pack!

Children's Museum!

Johnny Cash dress from HF!

Hang on baby!

Everybody needs a fort room!
Needs more fiber!

Mamma Mia...

Fun Times!

Trike Wash...Elli was holding up the line a bit.

Then she caught a ride from big bro!

Summertime Fun at the Splash Pad!

Taking a break...

eewwww don't drink it!

Silly Bands - Rock Star!

So funny that he has to hold

his thumb down for a rock salute!

Woody!

Elli's favorite toy right now...Good ole' Woody from

Toy Story. The only movie she will actually sit and watch!

Homemade water slide...

Aidan's idea...he wanted me to record him sliding so he

could get on America's Funniest Videos (our fave show to watch together)!

He doesn't realize how much it would need to hurt to

be funny enough for them!

Elli chillin' on the pool ledge and watching her big bro...
Aidan is giving Elli a pep talk about how fun it is!

B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Hose Thief!

Lola loves the hose!
