Lex and Lu

Po' Lucy has a broken dewclaw.....so we have put some antibiotic ointment on it and wrapped it up...and have been told to watch it for a few days.  She's being such a good girl and leaving the wrap on!!

Hot

Its going to be super hot the next few days.....and Ty takes his sprinkler time very seriously, lol!

Bella

Sometimes she looks so sweet and innocent! She styled herself, lol...asked me to straighten her hair....

Deceiving

The kids wanted to go in the little pool late yesterday afternoon....it was sooooooooooo chilly outside, so they lucked out that Ryan filled the pool with hot water!

Memorial Day

Thinking of all the heroic men and women who have served, 

and are serving our country.  So very grateful for what you  

do, today, and everyday.

Posting a picture of my grandfather, from his Navy days...

Helicopters

Love my girl....the helicopters, I could do without! They're EVERYWHERE right now....all over  our yard (which was just mowed)...in our pool....

She was a giggling girl while doing this...

Ears

Sooo...Olivia has been begging and begging to get her 2nd holes in her ears. I thought about it and thought about it, and gave in.... 

She was very brave....not afraid at all....alhtough I did hold her hand for the first ear, and once she realized it didn't really hurt, she told me to take her picture....

...she did a little giggle and said 'ouch', and that was it!

She loves them!!

Sick

Po' Olivia.....she was home today with a fever, sore throat...and a SUPER annoying cough, lol!  She passed out on the couch for a bit (that's how you know she's sick, because she's not very big on the whole 'sleep' thing)....

Hoping she kicks this bug fast!

Outside

We got outside today for a few minutes today...in between rain showers.  Its been raining aaaaaaaaaaaaaaall week, though at least its warm and muggy, because its going to rain all weekend (and only be in the 50's)...ugh!  So..we get outside for fresh air when the rain stops!

First corn on the cob of the season

Ty is in his glory...corn is his favorite food (I know, super nutritious, lol), and on the cob....oh my, he loved it!

Rock

I was setting up for a shoot, and Ty decided to sit down and rock out on his microphone, lol...he INSISTED I take his picture...

First lake visit of the year!

Lexi had her last art class....so we dropped her off, and went about a mile down the road to the lake!  The water was suuuuuuuuuuuper cold, but it was warm and muggy out today, so the kids loved it!

Olivia is my BIGGEST waterbug...

Ty's close behind...

...and then there's Bella, who doesn't really love the water, but has fun nonetheless....

Olivia froze a little when she dumped the water over her head, lol...

And Bella liked to hangout in the lifeguard chair, overlooking her brother and sister...

We're going to be spending ALOT of time at the lake this summer!

Sunday

It was so nice out this morning...the kids even played with the water table for a bit!  

Comparison

I had a 6 hour karate show shoot today, which I can't post pictures of (boooooooo)....so I thought I'd post a comparison shot, that makes me say 'holy cow, look how much Olivia's grown in a year!!)...

 

Father Daughter dance

Olivia had her father daughter dance tonight! She picked everything...her dress, her hairstyle (she wanted curls so we did bendy rods in her hair), her shoes, etc.... 

They had a FABULOUS time (and Olivia danced with daddy waaaaaaay more this year than last year, lol)!

Frog

Tis' the season.....to catch frogs!!

Ty's Dentist Appointment

Ty had his very first dentist appointment today, and was such a big boy!! He sat and let them examine him, and brush his teeth, and all...I'm so proud of him!!

Toy

I got a fisheye for Mother's Day....I'm going to have so much fun playing with it!!

My girls clearly think you can't make a normal face while taking pictures with this lense, lol...

Joey

My friend Mary Ann had a baby last week, and I went over this morning to squeeze him, and to get my itty bitty baby fix!

Joey is a little peanut.....7lbs 13oz at birth...
A few that I've gone through...

Momma is a big baseball fan...

Mother's day

I had a fabulous Mother's Day....and feel like such a lucky girl to have such amazing babies!

We look like ragamuffins, as its the end of the day, but gosh, I love my babies...

...and then I got tackled, lol...

Lexi and I....we ALWAYS make each other laugh...

From Olivia....

...I assure you she doesn't know what she's talking about, as I am a fabulous dancer, hahaha! Happy Mother's Day!!
