Babysitting Kiki and Liam

Yesterday the girls and I went to Matt and Alicia's to watch the Twins. Emmy and Liv were so excited to play with them....they had a blast. They are getting so big and are so talkative! It is weird to hear them rattle off sentences, lol. After a while we all chilled on the couch and watched movies, including Recker. I love spending time with them :)

Nana, Papa & The Grandkids

Mom and Dad wanted new pictures with all of the grandkids. They were actually really good while I was snapping them. After we rounded them all up, posed & took all of the pictures we realized that Brayden was MIA! Little stinker he was outside playing and we didn't even realize it...too many to count and still adding, lol. Oh well we will get em all next time.

Emmy's B-day with the FAM

We went over to my sister's house for Emmy's B-day Party. It was great to see everyone, it had been a couple of weeks for me. I had this bright idea to bring noise makers for the kids.....wow it was loud, lol. Note to self: NO MORE NOISE MAKERS :)

Emmalee's 8th B-day Morning

I cannot believe that Emmy is 8 already!!! She was so happy this morning, when I gave her the presents, that she could hardly contain herself...lol. She smiled the entire time!!

We are going to have a B-day swim party with the whole family later on this afternoon. It has been a couple of weeks since we have all been together, and I can't wait to see everyone.

Schools In...YAY!!!!

The kids started back to school on Monday, woohoo!!

They were excited & I was excited for them to return. Dalton is in the 11th grade, Brayden started the 4th grade, Emmalee is in the 3rd grade and Olivia started the 1st grade....my babies are growing up so fast!! We met all of their teachers and they were all very nice, the kids seemed to really like them. I thought I would post a picture of them since I never can get them all in one area at the same time...not to mention sit still long enough for me to grab my camera, lol. TTFN

Father's Day Water Fun

On Father's Day we went shopping for a couple things for the house. We ended up coming home with a new water toy for the girls, so that they could play outside. Tommy set it up...and of course China was right in the middle helping attack the water when it came out. The girls had a blast playing in it. Cooper didn't want to have anything to do with the whole water situation, so he just watched from the sidelines, lol.

After a little while, I peeked outside the door to check on the girls and they were laying out. The funny thing is, they had cut up cucumbers and placed them on their eyes. They thought they were so cool, and I couldn't stop laughing. Of course I had to grab my camera and snap a couple of pics.

Fourth of July

I know it is already August but I wanted to share these pics from th 4th. Tommy and I took the kids over to my sister Alicia's house and spent the day swimming & BBQ-ing. Later the sky started getting gray and the clouds started to roll in. We didn't get any rain, it just rolled around us...but there was a beautiful rainbow in the distance. Schnepf Farms puts on a firework show every year so we were able to get a great view from the fron yard. We had a great time as a family, but boy were we tired on the drive home. Thanks again Alicia!!
