MORE NEW POSTS

Alrighty... I added another 10 posts... seriously it is sad when 1/4 of all your posts ever happen in one month! But I am a HUGE step closer to being caught up ... just a few more to go... less than 10 I promise! :)

Rubberband Mummy

Rubberband Mummy
Grace is always getting into something (more to come about that later!)
This one cracked me up, silly girl!

Little Mover

Little Mover

This little guy is into EVERYTHING now. He started scooting on his tummy at 8 months, crawling at 9 and pulling up onto things at 9... Now he is 10 months jabbering away and the fridge is one of his absolute favorite places to be. He B-lines to it when it gets opened and is happy as pie to fiddle around with all the condiments.

Pre School

Williams first day of Pre-School
William loves crepes, strawberry and LOTS of whipped cream
So I let him set the limits this morning.

Cute picture of him at school Daddy snapped before he went into class. He is such a big boy. He is already absorbing things like a sponge. It is so fun to see him learning so quickly!

He never stood a chance

He never stood a chance...

While making my daughters bed one day, I found this. Called Matt in and we thought it was so funny, thought you might also.
This is just how we found the poor guy

Life Size

Grace is such a little mommy. Spunky, bossy, over protective
(hummm... wonder where she gets that from...? beats me...)

She is in Mommy heaven here.. and Justin is enjoying it too. Her own real, life size doll. One day I know she will be the best babysitter... you know when she learns it is NOT okay to ride her baby brother like a horse. :)

HAIL STORM

Hail Storm

As many of you have long ago blogged about we had a HUGE hail storm. In fact I don't remember one bigger... I regret not getting a picture of the hail but when it came down and the kids saw it... Boy were they ready!

William insisted on his Hulk suit (maybe remembering his snow suit from last winter) Then his winter coat and he grabbed his Bob the Builder snow shoes and wanted out.
Of course Grace followe suit only able to grab one boot, hair all undone and crazy and wanted out also to play in the "snow"
I finished dressing them and they went out to play, shortly coming in saying how cold it was, with freezing hands.
I think these two are ready for winter, guess we just need to remember gloves next time.

Silver Lake

Sliver lake

We went up to sliver lake one day with my parents and had a picnic and roamed around the lake. The kids had a good time and it was a great evening.

Daddy & Daughter :)

Grandpa helping William and Grace feed the ducks

Family Shot, this is as good as it gets when the kids are not really having it.

Grandma and Grandpa kid shot, both William and Grace are escaping here.

The kiddos! LOVE THEM!

Looking for fish

Splash Pad

Splash Pad

We finally made it to the splash pad, sadly only once this summer, but we did make it! We went with our friends the Kemeny's.
The kids had a great time, even Grace who isn't a HUGE fan of splashing water (as you will see in one picture)

Justin had a great time hanging out with the Moms

Austin had a great idea of bringing cups, these two had a blast!!

Filling up!

As these pictures are in no particular order... here is grace doing the cold/i dont want sunscreen/or to get wet walk...

Again, William LOVING it!

Jackson (looking at me like why are you taking my picture, crazy lady!) and Grace

Grace loved the playground.. and was so proud she walked across the tricky bridge!

Camping

So get ready... this is picture overload and after going through my camping pictures I realize I am missing some if you can believe it We had fishing pictures and other activity pics as well as some of everyone there... I am sad I have somehow lost them....

Do you see these two grinning from ear to ear... here and...

here...
LOOK at that smile on William's face. Looking back I still am not sure how I feel about the choice of letting him shoot the gun... but he sure LOVED it!!

Daddy shooting some clay pigeons



Mommy shooting Daddy's gun, it was very fun!


I came back from the shooting a little early and found one nervous little girl. The shooting was making her a bit nervous. She kept saying "oh no... get in the van... that shooting... scary!"

After we were all done shooting we headed back to meet up with Grandma and Grace, William was curious about all the holes in the ground and bugs I am sure.

MR STUD!!!

Miss Cutie all decked out to ride!

The stud geared up!

Sleepy Head!

What this girl did while we took the kids to the lake. She looks like she has been camping a little bit... dirt from head to toe!

Marlee and Jessi at the lake

Cole and Kade

I know kids like to throw rocks in and William did his fair share of it... then he decided to start throwing boulders! He actually picked it up... and then sort of threw it... or dropped it...

Roc and Jake

William and Hunter making discoveries...

NASTY!!! Seriously they touched this dead fish! It was stiff and so gross! Need I mention that there was no hand washing around... BOYS!

Say Cheese!

Why is it my kids think smiling has to be a eyes closed/squinted cheeser activity... Here is me trying to get a picture of Grace in a cute new outfit. I never did get one with her real smile looking at me.
