Pool Time!


We have the best neighbor in the world! Mr. Hammer, a recent widower, lives right behind us. He told me a couple of months ago that I had to make him a promise... a promise that we would use his pool! Um...let me think about that...OKAY! Today was our "debut swim"...it was 66 degrees outside, but that didn't stop the brothers! Sissy was left behind with Dad so that Mom wouldn't have to enter the cool pool...Fun times! (PS...check out that 9 yr old's giraffe tongue! wow!)

City Gone Country


In lieu of country livin', my boys decided that even in the city they could have a dirt clump fight! We had a lot of rain last week, and the area under the swing has dried up and given them a new playland! They were throwing, dodging, screaming, and running...all fun until someone threw one at Sis...TIME OUT GENTLEMEN!! Time to get in the house and take a bath! It's a school night! Love love love these kids!

Boston's 9th Birthday



I love these "getting older" birthdays as they involve less kids and more fun for the adults! We met 4 boys (plus our 3--Sissy at home with Grammy) at Dave & Buster's...a video playland for adults and kids! They collected tickets for prizes (aka party favors!) and we ate yummy cake and had a blast! Can't believe my oldest is 9! Yikes! This picture is somewhat blurry as this party was all ACTION!! Happy Birthday, my eldest...yo' mama is proud of ya!

Gotta have Faith!

Going to the hairdresser can sometimes be stressful...even if you've been using the same one for about 5 years! Shelley, my hair girl, suggested I go with a different shade of blonde (that's not natural...if you didn't know :)) and go with a shorter "sassier" do for the spring/summer. Well, here it is...taken by me on my camera phone while driving in heavy traffic...maybe I shouldn't have put that! :)

Easter Sunday


Not the best pic ever (all these are taken with my phone!) but in the cold looking directly into the sun after eating out and having a few desserts each...my kids are still and look somewhat happy! Yea! This is an accomplishment! Khaki pants and pastel polos for the boys...and my little girl got a pink chiffon dress with white sandals (can't see em, but take my word for it...they're adorable!) and that headband...my my...having a girl is fun! We had one chocolate Easter bunny each (they could eat the ears and head after lunch, but to eat the whole thing later, they had to do 50 push ups!) and enjoyed our day together! What a super group of kiddos!! Signed, Proud Mom

Boston at LTC



Here is Boston showing off his name badge...at LTC at the Anatole yesterday. This was a large Church of Christ "competition" of sorts, with kids showing off their skills in many areas. Boston participated in the elementary large choir and puppets. There have been many practices so we're glad LTC is over! But it was very fun to see him perform. So proud of you, Big Un!

The Car


On our way out the door at Vanessa's, Sissy spotted "the car"... one of those little kid coupes with the opening door and steering wheel. She couldn't take her eyes off of it...and in less than one second, Vanessa said, "You can take that with you if you want!" hint hint...yeah, I get it, Ness...you want it off your property! Well, I said, "Only if it fits in the back!" And yes, it fit. Every second outside since then, Sissy has HAD to ride in the car, be pushed in the car, or push the car herself. She has screamed at all of us for not doing what she wants... that's a new one... haha. Well, the princess has her coach...and I guess that makes us the servants...:)
