Family fun

Micah and Elisha came over while their Mom and Dad went out on a date. We had a great time playing and "throwing down" some food! Elisha can EAT!
One night we had a great time just hanging out after Sean went to bed. The kids were so funny and I had to pull out the camera. The video is great too but alas I have not taken the time to figure out how to upload such a big file. The best part of the night happened when each one of the kids ran down the stairs around the couch and jumped into Daddy's arms. He would act as if they had pushed him over and they thought it was the best!

Summer pics

Sean's First Birthday!!!

His elmo card from the Turner's. He kept saying in a sing song voice "ehh -mo" each time he saw the card.
EAT HIM UP!!!
MANY pictures were taken, Videos almost outnumbered them ;) I am getting them loaded but I have to choose the best ones. He was so cute on his day and I can't believe my baby is 1!

July- Sean

We had a such a great time playing peek-a-boo with him. He is getting so big so fast.

Evan and Mommy

He took this of me



Daddy went in after church to get the essentials for our b'fast and Evan and I had fun in the car while the others were asleep. I treasure these times with my little boy.

Updated: I love that his flip flops are on the wrong feet. This happens ALL the time and I am so glad we captured it unexpectedly on camera.

Katherine 5 years old

My sweet little girl wants to be just like her Mommy. She watches me very closely as I put on my make-up and on this particular day she applied her make-up all by herself. The make-up is now in the trash, because she decided to rub it all over her carpet one day during rest time. We are taking a break until an undetermined date. She did a great job this day and I LOve her dress. She wears it as soon as I wash it.
I am cannot figure out why these pictures keep coming through sideways. Katherine LIVES for art and tells everyone she is going to be an artist when she grows up. She has been working with drawing, painting and textures. We start her first official art class tomorrow and she will be working on clay pottery.

Evan 3 years old

Superman, Spiderman and Cars are your favorite things. You fly everywhere!
Daddy comes home from work and you love to "whestle"! When i ask you where things are you say they are "ober der" and when I tell you to do anything you say "ihy Mom". You smile a lot and you "yuv me" but usually you tease Daddy and say " I not yuv u Da-e". I love you so much my first boy and look forward to the things that change in you as you start pre-school next week.

I love how he is looking at his Daddy in these pics. He might tease about his love for him but he LOVES his Daddy.
