Dishwasher

Rachel - 1 year - exactly
Luke - 11 months
Kate - 13 months
Wade - 10 months

I must have always thought babies playing in the dishwasher were too cute. I guess Wade is technically not in/on the dishwasher door, but close enough. Rachel had a lot more hair than the others. Kate just asked me if she (Kate) was a boy or a girl in that picture.

Hula

Here is a video of Luke he will absolutely hate when he is older. It makes me laugh.

Kate can do it too!

Did you catch her rolling her eyes before her second attempt? You probably have to make it big to see it. That girl and those eyes.

Little Miss Personality

When I was taking pictures of Rachel and Wade, Kate asked to have her picture made too. I immediately took her up on the offer. This is what I got...

She is so fun!! I love that smile to pieces!!

Ten Months

Yesterday this little guy turned 10 months!! That is getting just too close to a year for me.

He loves to crawl, clap, say ba ba ba, swim, be held, play, give kisses, and eat. His eye is still fixed!!
He has started to notice strangers and has a little separation anxiety when I hand him over, but he does good after I am gone. He has always been good to go to people. I knew the time would come when he would cry. Maybe this phase will be short. He has also been pretty whiny lately. I think it has a lot to do with teething since he drools non stop. I am just hoping the tooth/teeth come thru soon. The whining is torture!!
Yesterday Rachel turned ten years and Wade turned ten months. How cool is that!?!?

A Decade Already!!!

We just can't believe our sweet baby girl is turning 10 years old at 11:50pm tonight!! It has been a decade!! She is turning double digits!! Oh My!!!

We are just so proud of the young lady she is becoming!! She is a great daughter, big sister, student, and friend!!
She is five feet tall and weighs 76 pounds....all legs!
Her favorites include pink, hamburgers, volleyball, cheerleading, basketball, make-up, piano, playing with friends, swimming, dresses and skirts, ice cream, the store Justice, going out of town, the TV show Good Luck Charlie, and chicken nuggets.
She is getting ready to go to church camp for a week on Monday. She will be gone a whole week, and we won't get to talk to her. She is so excited and I am excited for her too.
Happy Birthday to you sweet Rachel!! We love you so much!! Thanks for making me a mom ten years ago!!

Another Fish!!

Monday was hot! I was bummed that our neighborhood pool is STILL NOT OPEN!! So I broke down and bought a kiddie pool for the back yard. This would be Wade's first opportunity to swim. He loves his baths, so I figured he would like it, but sometimes the cold water changes babies minds real quick. Wade went right in and LOVED his first swim!! He just played and played and splashed and splashed!! I am so excited he loves the water because we spend A LOT of time at the pool in the summers.

I turned on the sprinklers and hose and the big kids and neighbors had a blast jumping on the trampoline and squirting each other with the hose.

Who says the kiddie pool is too small for the big kids...
After swimming and splashing we all had popsicles, another first for Wade. Dixie stayed close to help clean up the drips.

Katybug is growing so fast....we just love this girl!

Field Days

This past Friday Luke had his Field Day at school. The weather was perfect. Kate and Wade enjoyed watching and participating in some of the events. We all had a great morning! I can remember Field Day when I went to school and how much fun it was! At the kid's school they even have jumpers and snow cones. My things have changed since I was in school!

Luke's school buddies. Brock and Raeley above and Trevor below.
Just look at the rubber pig they were tossing around.
Kate even got to play.
I thought this game was pretty funny. You could not help but get wet!!
Rachel had a track meet on Monday for her Field Day. She ran the hurdles, 50 dash, and the 4X100 relay. She also participated in the running long jump. The weather was bright and sunny and HOT!!



She got fourth place in the hurdles.
