Dun, dun, dun...

We've officially reached the end of the month. I'm sure by now you know the drill.

Rollie Pollie Bugs...


This kid and his hats...


School field trip. Good thing I have friends who go with their kids and like to take pictures of my child for me.

I finally switched the pictures on our family tree wall. It was only almost 4 years out of date...

This girl got a black eye at her last dance class for the year. Ouch!


Oh you know, just sipping some watermelon on this warm spring day...

Even Ninja Turtles need naps occasionally.

GF pancakes and homemade buttermilk syrup.


Just sipping his honey butter through a straw. It was just that good!

That time this kid wouldn't take a nap but desperately needed one. I resorted to using the good ol' burrito wrap method to get him to hold still long enough to fall asleep.

And it actually worked!


What you get when you try to take a family picture when your family doesn't want to take a picture.


The day I randomly decided to take Maddie to get her ears pierced. Our rule has always been when they turn eight they can get them pierced. We wanted to do it early enough we could change her earrings for her baptism. Boy is her Mom a pushover or what?

A little light reading on a rainy day...

My handy little helper. I was outside measuring our window wells when this little guy quickly ran into the house to grab his measuring tape too so he could assist me.

My awesome husband mastering this whole Gluten-free cooking thing while I was out of commission. I'm so proud.




The day I decided the girls needed their own rooms, two weeks post surgery... Good thing I had Michelle to help me (she pretty much did it by herself) get this project done!


Waiting for Maddie to get home from school...

The Old Spaghetti Factory. GF approved by this girl!

Holding hands as Dad carries them in from the car.

Celebrating Aubrey...

Today we celebrated Aubrey's birthday with my family.  I can't believe this sweet girl is almost 4!


Uncle Robbie thought Aubrey needed Minion Cupcakes for her birthday. I think he was right.


We decided to get both Aubrey and Zack scooters for their birthdays. We figured it was probably a good idea to give Zack his a bit early so they didn't fight over one scooter.





Her party was so much fun, we wore her completely out! Before any of the guests left even.

Happy (almost) Birthday sweet girl!

Sprinkler, Sprinkler, Water Fun...

One of our favorite summer activities is running through the sprinklers. So of course, we had to start our summer out right by spending the day playing in the water. 

I love that they always use our mini water table as a swimming pool...



Since we are in somewhat of a drought this year, we thought it would be more fun to spray the kids, unexpectedly, with the hose. I think their faces can do all the talking...













Although summer hasn't officially started for Maddie, she was actually home for our water filled day. Unfortunately she was home with a nasty ear infection and her ear drum actually burst during the night last night. So sadly, she had to sit on the sidelines with her Momma while her siblings ran around and played. 

Get well soon Miss Madison so we can do this again sometime soon!
