Dear Quinnie

Although we understand you are busy...some of us LOVE to see some blogs and pics of M's days!!! Love ya :)

Cover it up

So like 8 or so years ago I got this tattoo...and my bff at the time got one too--and we havent been friends sincce about 6 months after we got them--lesson learned!!

So I have been wanting to cover it up with something else!! and here is what I got--I LOVE how it turned out (even though it HURT SO BAD--lol) and In latin it says LIVE LAUGH LOVE

shaving creme isnt just for shaving

To entertain K while B and I did another craft...I sprayed shaving creme on her high chair tray and added some food coloring--she loved it!!

melting crayon art

Good thing she's cute

 Her 3 am "I am hungry" encounters would be worse if she didnt greet me when I went to get her "from sreaming" with "HI" in her chipper voice, then she signs "eat please"

She is changing so fast, In the past few days she is jabbering more and more! and her animal sounds just crack me up--can't wait for her to see the cows and pigs at the fair this week!

She now says: mama, papa, dada, ach, up, cup, gabba, out, no, top (stop)--There is more but I can't remember

she was not to sure about the flash!

Let's Paint

 We went to Angelos this morning to paint!! Kids love that place!!

K wanted the "ack ack"

Miss Aubry joined us and pained a bowl

B's Dolphin

she was a paint mess, but she loved it!!

CALGON....take me away

ok maybe I just aged myself with that title hahah....but woah has it been a day!
First K was up alot of the night, screaming, then at 3am she wanted to eat and was up till 4, then screaming again at 6-so I layed down with her in B's bed (bad idea, killed my back and already throbbing shoulder) so she was up at 7-to eat (go figure)
Then dad left today--here goes another 2 weeks (lots of luck and prayers)
So K was fussy all morning and I was exhausted and the others just want to knik pick at each other all day long. Finally got K down for a nap at 11, and I layed down but not for long cause we had a Bday party at 130 (and I still had to go get the present)
So took A and B to the party, left K sleeping with Q and Z. that was fun and they swam all the energy out!
So get home, and K is still whiny (ugh) after dinner they are all out of sorts. k whining (still) she wants up, no she wants down and so on. A and B are fighting and fighting, B refuses to eat dinner again--so she will go to bed hungry (and she keeps trying to sneak snacks that she WANTS to eat--um no), Q is arguing with Z as always--seriously I am TIRED, and my tummy hurts (not sure what that is about either)
So by 8pm 3 out of 5 kids are in bed and asleep, the other two are close behind and as much as I would like to stay up and enjoy the quiet, I am too exhausted to!!!
So here is to tomorrow being a better day and I get some sleep!!!!

On a GREAT note we got some rain--I love the rain!!!

Night night!!!

Duckies!!!

This mama duck and her 10 babies were in the pool this morning when we went to lessons..The funniest part was watching the life guards trying to "herd" them out of the pool!! They did finally get them out and to safety!!

Jump Aydan

So Today was diving board day for Aydan, he was scared the first time but the second and third time he jumped all by himself!!

Pasgetti anyone?

To the lake we go

We had so much fun at the lake, kids love it!!

Lisa floating with the kids

HA Lisa toting all her stuff down

she loves mud--in the hair

Pretty girls in yellow dresses

Swim Fishies Swim

 Brooklyn with her swim class--she is doing so good and loves the water.

Aydan has made the most improvement since last year, he now goes under water, does his back and front floats!!

Kyndal loves to walk around the splash pad playing in the water. She is so quiet and walks around with her mouth open and laughing--so cute to watch!!

YUM Peach Cobbler

I love when the local peaches are ripe!!

hahah that is wishfull thinking!!! But we do what we can with what we have right?! So we went to take some pictures of Maddie and the kids with Domma and Dompa before Q & M leave tomorrow--we actually did get some good ones--here are the not so good ones but still pretty funny!!

Cousin Maddie is here!!

There is one thing

That keeps this child sitting for almost 20 minutes--
Yo Gabba Gabba--yes I totally despise this show, I would rather watch Barney (but she wont) BUTsome days it is a must to keep her sitting for a little bit!!
