Sprinkler fun

June - McCall

Ryan went to tape the athletes at a race in McCall in June so we decided to tag along for a quick getaway for a night.  While Ryan was working, the kids and I headed to the beach for some sun and fun in the water.  It was COLD water, but they didn't seem to mind.  They had fun and were all tuckered out on the way home.  :)

Catch Up

So I realized I am WAY behind in posting.  It has been 3 months and a lot has happened.  We have been busy, as always, with our little bugs and life.  In June, I took some pics of the kids for Fathers Day. Couldn't really get a great pic of just B., but these are what I did get.  I tried the whole summer/mango/fruit theme.  Thanks to Mom for B.'s quilt that was a nice prop!

I love these bugs.  And check out the sunlight on those pig tails, or "pink tails" as Ma. calls them!

                                             

B. is 6 months old!

My sweet baby girl is 6 months old today!  Can't believe time has flown by so quickly.  She has 2 teeth now, and is working on more, as evidenced by her chewing on her finger in the picture below!  She is a little stubborn, smarty pants already.  She has figured out that a loud, piercing shriek will get attention from everyone in the room!  She is eating more and more solid foods all the time, smiles and laughs at her siblings, sleeps through the night and has figured out how to move herself around in circles and scoots herself around on her tummy.  She will be crawling before we know it! 

Growing kids

My kids are growing so fast.  Some days Ryan and I just look at them and think, what happened to the time?  Ma still loves the mud and dirt and could play outside by herself for a long time.  It is so nice to have a child that can play by herself!  She keeps us on our toes all the time too with her sassy personality.  Pres is our one that likes us to be by him, and he is our very sensitive and sweet one too.  Although, he is very much boy and loves to wrestle with his dad and tease his sisters!  B. is growing up quickly and outgrows more outfits every day and gives us more smiles all the time.

 

Mother's Day

At Preschool, Pres made me a gift for Mother's Day.  He was so excited to give it to me and was so proud of himself for making it and for writing on the bag by himself.  Preston tells me, "Mom, you're my best Mom."  That just makes me smile.  All the times that he argues with me or drives me crazy, that makes up for it.  I love my kids so much.  They mean the world to me and I don't know what I would do without them.  They drive me nuts some days and test my patience, but I have to remember they are sent here from above and each one was sent here for a reason at a specific time.  I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for them in the future! 

Sunday Afternoon

Our weather has been funny lately and has not wanted to stay consistent with getting warm. So, when it is warm, we take advantage of it and are outside.  Sunday afternoon was one of those days so the kids had fun playing in dirt and grass ( as always!), Mikayla was pretending she was a caterpillar or something and sliding across the lawn, and Pres made some of his funny faces for me while I tried out my new camera (an early birthday present! Thanks again!!!).  So sorry for so many pics, but I am getting used to this new camera and am getting in all the practice I can!
