Party!!

We went to the Flint Company Party that I had all planned out on Friday... These things are always so nerve racking for me to plan out because it is so hard to do something every one will enjoy and I worry constantly about forgetting something or making sure it is fun. We had some really good barbecue and a good time visiting and watching kids play around. The kids helped me fill a pinata and they were ecstatic to finally get to whack at it. Kelsi told everyone she came across about the party and pinata!

Cubby needs help!

I need some help and suggestions from any of you animal lovers... Cubby has taken to marking everything within minutes of being in the house and it is driving us nuts! So far we have gotten lucky and he has only gotten my bags but he got Jeff's workout bag and boy was Jeff ticked off this morning. So Cubby has now lost all privileges of coming indoors. He is getting neutered in August and that is suppose to help, I am worried about winter coming and him needing to come in a lot more. Any suggestions?

Gabriel

Gabe loves to do chores with his Grandpa. This is them mowing the field. He had such a good time. Jeff's dad was telling us that he had to make sure that they both had their hands on the wheel and if he tried to take a hand off , Gabe would grab it and put it back and he had to be the one to make all the turns.

Kelsi

Kelsi was having a blast doing flips on the tramp. I dont think I had enough courage to try them until I was like 12!

Parade!

We took the kids to their very first parade on saturday... aren't we awful Kelsi is almost six and this is her first parade! They had a ton of fun and got a ton of candy thanks to the excellent position our friends the Moore's got us, right at the start where the floats did not know any better about saving the candy to the last!

He's got the cast

Gabe got his cast on last week. The doctor asked him what color he wanted and he wanted brown. Of course Gabe would want that color because it is the color of chocolate. But they did not have it. So we negotiated down to red. It dosent seem to be slowing him down much. He is running and jumping off of everything.

Victoria Talking

We caught Victoria cooing at the park. I thought it was so cute, of course.

Feeding the Ducks

We went to the park to feed the ducks last night. I think the kids filled the ducks up. You can get 5 loaves of bread at the Wonder Bread Store for a $1.00, we only made it through 2.

His Big Band-Aid

He was very proud of his big band - aid, but I am pretty sure he wont be so excited about it in a few days. Hopefully this splint is all he will need. We will find out on Thursday if it needs to be cast.

Poor Guy

Poor Gabriel, he was running around in the backyard and did a very unspectacular fall and broke his foot! This is Kelsi taking care of her brother after he got hurt. She told me she loves her brother, but she loves his even more when he gets hurt.

First Laugh

Victoria had her first laugh on wensday night! I have been working for hours and hours every day to get her to laugh and Jeff comes home from work and bounces her and gets the first laugh. It is so not fair! He is know 0-3 on getting the first laugh for all the kids. Although I cant stay to mad, it is such a cute laugh.

Refusing to Grow Up

This is how I found the kids playing the other day. He was zipped into Tori's bassinet with his lego's. Having problems not being the baby anymore maybe???

Jeff

Thanks to Angela I got this picture of Jeff... such a handsome man he is. He got to get together and play with his old band a couple of weeks ago and you would not believe how excited he was about it! I wish I would have had my camera out when the neighborhood boys came and asked him for his autograph!

I caved

Ok I have been complaining to Jeff about how hard it to check everyone's blogs and how I would never do one... guess it is now time to eat my own words.... There are so many cute things the kids do and say and I never remember to write them down in my journal ( the once a year I pull it out) So here we go.....

The Kids

I wanted to get a really cute picture of the kids for Jeff for a Father's day project. You wouldn't believe those little angels could bite, scream and pinch minutes before that picture could you!
