Gracies Soccer Picture

Here is Gracies soccer picture from this season. I will post more pictures tomorrow. She did really well at her game this evening!

Swimming and Stealing Photos

It has been hot! We had a nice peaceful weekend. David had to go back to work today, but before he did we took the kids outside and played. They always love when we all go out. I was delinquent and didn't take the camera out. Then, Christine invited us over to go swimming. So, after we dropped David off the kids and I loaded the wagon and headed across the street for our first of many swim sessions this summer.

They had a blast. Gracie is really getting the hang of swimming. Mason is a good kicker as long as he has all of his floaties (you have to love is over cautiousness!) It took Audrey all of 2 minutes to get used to the water, 10 minutes to decide it was fun, and 20 minutes later she was ready to get rid of mom and swim on her own. She put her but in the air, her face in, and kicked her feet. I didn't let her go just yet of course, but don't be surprised if she is a swimmer by the end of the season.

I am stealing Christine's photos, because I was bad and didn't use my camera at all today. So, Thank you Christine for the pictures!

Horifying

At first glance at this picture you think, "OH NO!!! What happened to the baby!" Don't worry! It isn't blood. My extreemly busy 15 month old knows how to open the pantry. She also doesn't understand ,"NO" or "Put that back." Audrey opened the pantry and started pulling out jars of spices (which isn't unusual). I got distracted with the other kids, and went to find Audrey, who had found the Crystal Light, opened the big container, and had pulled out the little tubs. This wouldn't have been an issue if she wasn't teething (AGAIN). She then starting gnawing on the little tubs resulting in the beautiful red color seen here. By the way....Crystal Light Stains. Everything. Including babies. I won't be taking her anywhere today! :) OH well. By the way in the second picture she is saying SHHH. Like it is a secret what she has done.

Easter

We had a really nice day! The kids were visited by the Easter bunny this morning. We all got dressed up and went outside for an Easter egg hunt. They truly enjoyed that. Then, we came in and had lunch, played, napped, and I cooked. We just finished eating. It has been such a nice day and we have a lot of great pictures. Including the long awaited family picture. Thank goodness for the camera timer!

What Audrey learned from Huck

I know kids are supposed to teach their dogs tricks, but my dog taught my baby a trick. Audrey has seen Huck scratch at the door when he wants to go out. Apparently she thinks that it is a pretty efficient system. Check out the video to see what I mean.
