June Highlights

For choir this past June the kids did a performace called, "Annie Meets Newsies". It was my kids first real performance in anything and they did a fantastic job!!!

This next picture is of my sister holding her little boy and my little girl.




This my dad with my youngest daughter. He let her try on his glasses.

These were some fun action shots I took of my oldest boy.

Cornstarch and water.... soooo fun... and sooo messy!

My littlest one is already finding out how much fun it is to dress up!

Pictures From April and May

These are just some of my favorite pictures from the months of April and May this year.....

My daughter is so creative, she loves to make paper dolls and accessories. She could play for ours with just paper, scissors and marker

My son was pretending this was an airplane. I would push him around on his "airplane" and he would flap the wings like a bird and giggle adorably. So fun!

Just turned around the corner and found her like this.... these are the adventures I have with a two yr. old :)

When my girls hear music playing, they have an irresistable urge to dress up and dance!

...and this one often has an irresistable urge to make crazy faces :0

I love this picture for some reason... I guess it portrays her personality so well.

Of course we had birthdays to celebrate this summer.

I just love my son's face in this picture. He is so animated. There is truly never a dull moment.

And who can resist a face like this????

.....maybe this face will intimidate you?

Again... I turned around and found her like this.

Check Out My Bling

My 4 yr. old made this "Cheese-it" necklace for me. How do ya like my bling?
(The scotch tape holding the yarn together makes a nice additionl, don't you think? ) :)

Fun House

You know that old saying about kids being so crazy they are "climbing the walls"... well that happens very literally in my home. One of these days I think it would be cool to design our home with indoor slides, ladders and tunnels in random places.... of course maybe I wouldn't appreciate a home like that when I'm 80.. ha ha ha.

Speed Skating with Cougars??

During the Olympics this year my 8yr. old son really got into the speed skating. He is also into big cats. So why not combine the two? He drew this picture of speed skaters and some heroic cougars that rescue a fallen olympian. The owner of the cougars is cheering in the stands.

He explains the drawing to me....

"see the different speed skaters ..."
"This guy in front was trying to cheat... he's the one who tripped the skater that fell... see he has a mean look on his face."

"See the cougars helping the guy who was tripped... I promise mommy, the cats are not eating the olympian they are helping him back up."

"... this is the guy who owns the cougars... he's cheering them on."

Paper People

My 6 yr. old and 4yr. old made this little paper person all by themselves. They played all day with it like it was a brand new toy. Who needs money to have fun??

Garbage Man's Biggest Fans

What could be more exciting than Christmas morning???...... watching THE GARBAGE MAN of course!!! Every Thurs. morning the garbage man drives into the apt. complex to empty our dumpster. As soon as the children hear him coming they leap out of bed and run to our living room window to watch eagerly. What could be more exciting than watching the garbage man!?
