Wordless Wednesday - One Happy Senior!

They killed the suspense by adding "Admitted Student Information" on the outside of the acceptance letter. But they sure made Anna happy.

Wordless Wednesday - Not on my watch!

I'm glad she did this with her mother and not her Aunt Jen.
Note to self: don't take my eyes off Emily while I'm taking care of her.

Wordless Wednesday - You're his mom?!?!

Why do people find it so how to believe I am his mom? It's not like he was born this size.
He wasn't even my largest baby.

Wordless Wednesday - Do they ever out grow it?

How old do boys have to be to stop trying to wrestle their dad's?

Poor Mark. He was just trying to rest.



It looks like Mark can still take the "Mighty Man" even when he isn't completely back to good health.



Awe! Father son love!

Wordless Wednesday-Traditions

Every year I give my kids pj's on Christmas Eve and we take a Christmas picture.

I couldn't help but wonder while taking this picture about how many more years I will have them all home on Christmas Eve.

Wordless Wednesday (kinda) - Can't sit on the sideline

This one needs "some" words...

Do you know those guys that just can't be happy sitting on the sidelines? See the guy in the jean shorts and visor? Keep watching him...

Oh no where did he go? And why is my youngest trying to tell someone to slow down?

Why is he running? Note: My youngest now looks like "I tried to warn you. This oughta be good."

Come on you need to be able to go to work tomorrow. What are you thinking? Is this going to be one of those "why didn't they put down the camera and go help him" moments?

No! The girls were jumping not diving. This isn't water.

I am guessing you now have sand in places that sand should never go.

Men. They just don't learn.

Thank you to our good friend (we won't use his name) for providing entertainment for the kids and giving me something to blog about.
I have a video of him doing a back flip also and burying his head in the process but I promised not to put it online. Hilarious!

Wordless Wednesday (Almost) - My Sweet Zachary

A little background on why I am posting these pictures today...

I received this e-mail from my sister earlier this week. She is the mother of the 10mo old that I watch one or two days a week.

"Speaking of forgetting to shut the door, this weekend I was sitting in the living room watching TV & I thought the bathroom door was closed. Emily had been close by, but that mother instinct kicked in as I suddenly realized that I hadn’t heard her for a few minutes. So I got up to see where she was & she’d pulled herself up onto the toilet and had her arm hovering over the toilet & was just getting ready to reach her hand in. I yelled “Emily NO!”. I got her & Leo’s attention. I did wash her hands. Now that I think of it, I probably should have washed her mouth & face just in case she’d decided to give the seat a taste test just like she does with everything else! YUCK!!!!"

So I replied with, "I will have to pull out the picture of Zack for you when I found him standing IN the toilet. I will try to keep a better eye on your child."

And then a little "sister love" back from her, "Hmmmm, so you find your child standing in the toilet, and instead of screaming and thinking that you can't get him out of there fast enough, you stop to go find your camera???"

That one cracked me up so I sent back, "Just a little insight into how my brain works... I dare you to try figure it out. LOL!"

So here you are Julie. I love you and promise to keep on taking pictures of my beautiful niece for you. ~Smiles!
