Katie and Mommy Gymnastics

Katie is taking a little gymnastics class with Parks-N-Rec. She LOVES it. She will be in the house and just put her head down and look like she is going to roll...but stands back up b/c she needs help getting over.

She is so funny. She just runs from one thing to the next. Check her out below!

I think I am done now for a little bit! Of course this post will be at the top so...check out the 5 or so posts below this one for other new posts I added today!

Backward picture overload

So, maybe if when you added pictures and they stayed in the right order and together I would blog more. You would think I would learn and upload backwards. Oh well. So here is a load of other summertime pictures..... Sam with his friend Joshua are playing T-ball this summer. We are working with Sam. He is not that into it. He is left handed so for awhile we didn't have the right kind of glove...and it does not help that he is afraid of the ball (got that from me!)

Playing at SF park on a cold June day.

4th of July....inside ;(

Caught them having a loving brother/sister moment looking at a book. So sweet. And yeah, I dressed us all in red....Im goofy like that!

Sam and I went to a Ralph's world concert and he got a great picture of him and Ralph himself!

Sam and Mommy being goofy.

Playing in the sprinklers. Katie is naked b/c she pooped in her suit. I guess I thought going outside for 30 min. or less she didn't need a diaper. HAHAHAH.

Sam and Mommy made a sign for daddy. He was in Houston for work.

The kids at the library for story hour. We got to meet Curious George. Katie was not a fan.

My nieces with Sam and Katie waiting for the stories to start!

Katie and her first real big boo-boo. A sucker always makes things better!

Sam at Josh's 5th Superman Birthday party.

Landscaping

We did some landscaping this weekend and last. Mike and I did our old house so we figured we would do this one too...it might just take a lot longer with kids! We got the front area done for the time being bc we were tired of seeing just mulch and weeds. I think it looks pretty good!!

Then and Now!!!

I have been wanting to do this. I am skipping a lot of pictures of them in between but I thought this would be neat. This was our first couch picture with our little men!Then we all added our baby girls! And this was a few weeks ago with the whole group a little more then a year after the above...plus another little man (Ryan). Here is just the kids recently. It was fun to watch the pictures go by and see what they were all doing. Josh, Ryan and Natalie were pretty much the same, but Cindy's kids got better and mine got worse :)

Like how Katie is doing the Home Alone face and Sam's face is just plain funny!This was the boys first picture....

And this is the most recent. They are getting so big ;(

We went to the pool one day with everyone. It was fun. Didn't get to many pictures b/c you can't have a camera and 2 little kids in water!

We always have so much fun when Cindy comes to town. Sure wish she lived closer. Marla and I are trying to figure out how to get to NC to visit her...and wondering if we go with 5 kids or just her and I go to visit ;) I am leaning toward the second option myself!!

VBS 2009

I am just going to do several different posts b/c I have many pictures to share. It is so hard to do these posts sometimes b/c the pictures get all mixed up. So....these are pictures of Sam at his vacation bible school this summer. Mommy volunteered with snacks so we both got the same cool shirt. It was about space this year. He really liked it!


We got to go to DQ for dinner before one of our trips to VBS. I just thought he looked so handsome here (above)Hanging out before it was over. The little girl in pink is his cousin Amber who was in his same group this year. It was funny, after the first night I asked if he talked to her and he said...."well mom, i stepped on her foot when we were in line and she was not very happy" So funny what kids say ;) He said he didn't mean to do it. I went around like a crazy mom (I get it from my mom...sorry mom, but it is true) and took pictures of him doing the different activities. And here he is with his Uncle Rob. Uncle Rob helps out with the skits every night. Last year he was a pirate, this year a space commander. He used the voice of one of the pengins from the Madagascar movie. All the kids thought he was a hoot.
