Such Imaginations!

These two pictures are of William in a 'very stylish ensamble'...A cowboy hat under the straw hat with a pink bow. A vampire cape under the pirate vest and to finish it off...the butterfly high heels! He definitely has an active imagination!

Jasmin is hamming up the straw hat that she just discovered in the dress-up bin ( it has been there for 3 weeks or so already)

I know it has been quite a while since I have posted anything new. We have been so busy around here, I just haven't had much time to got through pictures and sit here and put it together. I have picked out just a couple that I couldn't pass up... I will post more soon.

Camellia Is Settling In

What? You talkin' to me?

Watching the dog.

Watching the TV.

Sitting in the Bumbo chair and loving it!

Bailey is Camellia's protector!

Camellia is starting to feel more comfortable with all of us and we are getting to know her much better! She has enjoyed several activities this past week or so. I took a few pictures to share because she is just too cute not to.

Makynna's First Birthday

She was very happy to be getting a cupcake... she had been trying to reach the plate on the counter all morning long.

Makynna got a little shy while the kids were singing to her!




Makynna brought birthday cupcakes for snack! All the kids sang to her and then really enjoyed the cupcakes. I tried to get a picture of all the kids eating their cupcakes but my camera ran out of battery!

Sprinklers and Sun

We had a very hot day and there is no better time than that to get out and try out the new sprinkler! The kids had so much fun and ran off lots of their energy before lunch! They slept really good after that!

Little Fashionista

Eva was playing with the dress up clothes today trying to be just like the big girls... I couldn't help taking a few pictures. She was too cute. She knew just where each piece of clothing was supposed to go! Such an outfit she put together: Blue Princess skirt and top with pink high heel shoes and a cowboy hat! Wow!

Feeling Like a Big Girl

Abby has been the oldest one here the last few days since AJ and Arin are at TKD summer camp, so she wants to do what the big people do. I let her try to feed Camellia. She did a wonderful job but she now asks every time I sit down to feed the baby. Her turns to do the feeding are few and far between but she does a very good job when she does get a turn!

New Toddler Climber!

The boys felt like showing off on the big slide by jumping off the top!

She can get up onto the climber and slide down all by herself!

Eva showing Makynna how it's really done!

Try again?

She has figured out how to climb the slide... that is as far up as she made it though.

She made it to the slide.

Makynna doing the "bear walk" because she doesn't really like the feel of the grass!

I have been looking for a toddler sized climber for a while now. I have finally found a very nice one! Makynna and Eva tried it out yesterday and gave their approval!
