Big Grilllllz

Um, our mother made this very cute dress for her in NEWBORN size & it still fits!! I feel guilty now for not putting it on her sooner!!

I guess it runs in the family, eh? Olivia will definitely be carrying on the "Big Grill" trait in our family:-)

A headful of gray hairs and a heart attack in the making!

Jakob figured out how to do a backflip last weekend! This is what the kids have been doing every day for the past week. As soon as they walk in the door, they change into their suits and hook up the sprinkler under the tramp. I'm a little scared to see the water bill next month!


Only a half day of school left and we are free for the summer!

A great pic...

You know what I just noticed about it? Daddy is smiling, like big enough so that you know he's smiling. I don't think that happens very often, does it? I really love this picture!

Bittersweet

Today was Joshua's last day of preschool. It's sad leaving his teacher and his friends, but it's exciting to know he'll be going to Kindergarten in the fall! Ok, let's be honest, it's also sad because I'm giving up my precious kid-free afternoons for a few months!! LOL

We had lots of fun with Annie's crew, Daddy & Janet on Sunday! We were all pretty wiped out when we got home though!

Pics from Joshua's graduation - Graduation
Pics from Wichita - Wichita

Forgot to add that you can see a few videos here. Just ignore the part where I turned the camera thinking it would right the picture the way it does when taking photos! Oops!

Oh the dirt...

I told Zach that he need to shave his dirt mustache off before he ate dinner:-) I can't wait to use this picture later in his life!!! He wasn't eating dirt, I swear. That portion of his face was all that wasn't covered by a helmet or goggles!!
Joey can actually keep his face pretty clean - but the hands and fingernails are another story. Ugh - there was just black dust everywhere!
Even Miss O had her fair share of black smudge around her mouth. Ewwww!!

She now has her four top teeth and two bottom teeth in. Can I just say - OUCH??!! The woman's hair just needs to grow so I can play with it, dangit!!!

GPA

I got my grades today. 3 A's and 1 B! That means a 3.75 GPA. This is the best I have ever had. It is amazing what a little maturity can do for a person's academics.

Here are my monsters. I hate how fast they are growing up. Heath graduated Kindergarted this past weekend. I will get those up, too. I will take some this weekend at Daddy's and upload them.

When did we get so old?

I was scanning in a prom pic for a board I visit and came across this pic of Jay and I at graduation 15 years ago. 15 YEARS?! When did that happen?

Oh, almost forgot!!

I joined Weight Watchers online today. I weighed myself this morning & realized I was going in the wrong direction. It worked well last time, so I'll try again. I'm doing really well today & still have 11 points left for my dinner tonight. My first goal is 20 lbs away! My overall goal is a total of 60 lbs - YIKES, I might actually have to exercise. That's why I love WW - laundry & mopping count as exercise!!

Okay, here we go...

The karate school held an inner-school tournament on Saturday. Joe couldn't fight because he had injured his leg twice in that week & couldn't hardly walk. However, Zach fought & kicked some serious booty!! He took 1st place (even though there were only two kids:).

I also did some shopping that day & Joey loves his new shirt and chonies. As a matter of fact, he put on all six pair at one time:-) Olivia loved her new outfits so much, that she fell asleep on the floor wearing one!

Okay, I'll get better at this eventually. Well maybe someday.

Hey. This is so cool. I can't wait to see all the pics of everyone. I'll upload some tonight.

Some pics from this past weekend.

McKenna is #15.

I forgot it again

I'll try to seriously remember my camera a lunch today!

This will be fun!!

I started a blog before, but only posted 3 times and never went back! I forgot my camera in the diaper bag, so I'll upload some cute pics from this weekend tomorrow.

Getting Started

Setting this up so we can share photos and thoughts with each other :)
