Ten Years

I posted one pic on here elsewhere of our ten year anniversary, but I wanted to put all of these up. We had a great evening together celebrating and I just love this man so much. And these selfies make me smile.

Pool Babe

We spent a lot of time at the pool this month… it was great! I did find it challenging for this one lady to get three kids ready, pack the bags, get to the pool and keep my eye on all of them. Whew! But we did it many times and I’m so glad. What a huge blessing this pool is!

Three of us are fishies for sure. We love the water! The big kids are getting very near to swimming and just have a blast.

I think we’ll have one more fishie once she’s big enough to really do much in the water. She definitely loves to play and dunk under! She’s just not very independent yet, next year probably.

Anyhoo, in my attempt to insure her safety when she toddled around the side of the pool, I put this ridiculous life jacket on her. And a hat of course. And she loved to borrow big brother and sister’s goggles.

So then you have this…

Quite the pool babe, eh?!

Playdate Portraits

Last week we had a fun playdate at a friend’s house. They have a fabulous backyard! So I took my camera along and took a few shots…

A Note about a Tooth

Saturday morning we woke up to a note.

IMG_8227

Yikes! A lost tooth… that was actually lost!

(Still haven’t found it?!)

Now he has a nice little hole where his tongue fits.

And he has a little sister who (obviously) wanted to have her picture take too…

And this one… who also has a tongue, she wants you to know.

Back to this wonderful little guy.

He was concerned about not getting money from the tooth fairy since he didn’t have the actual tooth to put under his pillow. So with a little prompting he then wrote another note to leave for the tooth fairy.

The tooth fairy just might honor his request.

Religious Teddy Grahams?

I recently discovered that McAlister’s Grill offers 99 cent kids meals. You don’t even have to purchase an adult meal or a beverage or anything! So one day I took the kiddos. Part of the meal is a little packet of Teddy Grahams.

Sweet N took one out and declared… This Teddy is praising Jesus!

H agreed…

Love them.

This one didn’t know what was happening. But she was pretty happy. Love her too.

They went on to find an explanation for all of the other bears positions, but now I can’t remember…

Baby in a Box

Yup. Boxes (and bags and buckets and baskets) are still fun for babies. I have twelve photos from the past several months to prove it. I’m a good researcher like that.
