Ta Da! I believe he has beaten all the others in accomplishing this feat. He also knows it and is pretty proud of himself too!

Kevin & Tracy’s Wedding!
Here’s the slideshow and a video of the kids dancing. I couldn’t figure out how to change the video over to use in our movie maker software…a project for Mark!
Visiting with Friends
On Monday night we visited with some friends who had moved to Nebraska a few years ago. They were in town staying with some other friends. They have a two daughters and a son (11, 7…I think, and 4). All the kids enjoyed playing together. It was fun being able to catch up.
Alright, we let the kids take the picture and I had to crop out our mummy tummies! But, here we are. Me, Annette, Josette (my friend from out of town) and Christy.
Ace and Zach talking “man” talk.
Zoe and Talia have always gotten along well.
Liam and Katie (the female version of Liam) showing us sand.
Talia’s self portrait.
Katie enjoying some beans.
The men talking.
Katie really enjoyed the watermelon. We got a kick out of watching her tummy fill with water…she walked around chomping on watermelon with her shirt up.
And this was Katie after three or four triangles of watermelon! Actually, she was trying to flip.
JB crawling!
Happy Birthday J-Bug!
My niece turned 9 last week! Mark and I are just in denial about this. It was just yesterday that we celebrated her birth not her birthday. She had a great cowgirl/barn party theme complete with roping cows (a stuffed one) and bobbing for apples (which Zoe did well on). Being the wonderful aunt that I am, I did not get any pictures of the birthday girl. Please forgive miss J-bug. Zoe, Ace, Liam and Josiah about ran/crawl themselves tired. They had such a good time. Josiah scooted out on the floor (it was in my niece’s church’s gym) and just spun in circles…he didn’t know where to start. Zoe had some time warming up to my niece’s friends. J-bug was wonderful and introduced her to several of her friends…after that it was all over. Ace just loved playing as did Liam.
Cowboy Josiah!
Granddaddy gettin’ so good cuddles.
We Interrupt this Broadcast to Bring You…
Funnies from the kids:
Ace: We had apples, bananas and parrots for breakfast.
(This after we were asking them about their weekend and having to get specific about things like food. I think…hope…he meant pears)
Zoe: Papa and Grandmere read the Chronicle Son to us.
(The Prodigal Son)
Ace: These are my lookers.
(His binoculars that we got for him while away)
Yes, folks, this transpired all in one night!
Josiah’s Crawl
Here’s how the little one does it. I’m not sure what you what call it. It’s a little of a commando a little of a pull and go and a lot of fast!
More Muddy Feet
Part of Mother’s Day included getting the kids hands in some cement for a stepping stone. I’ve been wanting to do this every year for about two years…this year, it’s done and started! I can’t wait to see how they will grow and change over the years.
Yeah, the hand thing didn’t go over so well with Josiah. So, we did his foot.
Counting Down…
Zoe and Ace are getting super excited about going to see Prince Caspian. As is Liam! We’re re-reading the books to get ready for it. We were going to go see it this past Saturday, but God had other plans…so, we’ll be taking them on Friday. They are pumped and it’ll be a good “Pre-K Graduation” for Zoe!
So, 6 more days until we see Prince Caspian!
Drywall…the new “black”
I’m not fond of painting with preschool children running around. However, we found a great deal on a larger freezer than our little 5 cu foot (which is now for sale…any takers) which means that getting the boys’ new closet, aka our old master closet, painted and our new wall where the old master closet was painted needs to be stepped up. Okay, that’s confusing I know. I want to get this project which has been going on for over a month now finished so we can get the boys room organized. I don’t have anywhere to put the new freezer, because we’re going to gut the utility room, clean, paint, put new flooring in and reshelve but we can’t do that until we finish the project we’re working on now.
So, I painted today. I hope to get most of it done today and then tomorrow we’ll have just a little to do. Mark is going to put in shelves in the closet to put/organize the boys’ toys (or lack thereof if Ace keeps refusing to do his job…that’s another story) and we’ll be ready to tear up the utility room. I can’t wait!!!
All that being said, why do we paint???Drywall should be “in” sometime soon. Maybe half finished painting with little toddler hands all over the wall will come back in style.
Soccer Camp
Zoe announced last fall that she would like to take Soccer the next year. We only allow one extra curricular per year (besides church stuff…which is getting cut back on too), so we waited. Meanwhile, my wonderfully dramatic, all very sensitive princess has fits when it’s “too hot” before bed. Sweating…no thank you. Running and getting hit or kicked…not on the top of her Most Wanted list. But she’s persisted that she wants to play soccer.
So, I signed her up for a camp this summer. She has her pink tennis shoes (which may be getting too tight…gotta check on that) and her ever so cheap (no joke…I was surprised) shin guards that are pink. We just need some shorts that can’t double as underwear and we’ll be set! I just hope I can survive the week of whining! I know, she’ll probably surprise me and love it…but I have some serious doubts.
