LOVE IT!!

I LOVE it when these boys find something they can ALL do together. This doesn't happen as often as I would like. It's usually the two boys...and the one little boy. The two big boys have so much in common, and are as close as two brothers could possibly be. The little brother trys soooo hard to fit into that equation. Unfortunately, 1+1=2...NOT 3. Especailly when the little brother thinks that fitting in means tormenting to get attention.

{sigh}

This was one of those moments when you tip toe around them, you do not speak, sneeze or cough because you don't want to rock the boat. So, of course I do what any camera happy mom does & I make a photo op out of it. Thankfully, I did not disturb the peaceful play.

( I also LOVE pictures of their cute little hands!!)

Check up...

Sam starts Kindergarten in the Fall!!

You know what that means...

Kindergarten check up.

It all started out just great...

Weighing in.

Blood pressure.

Heartbeat.

LOVE our Pediatrician! We've been going to him for 10 years & he is the BEST!!

5 shots.

This is where things got not so great...

Sam, the human pin cushion.

Happy again!!!
Sweet Sammy!
This was the first time I have EVER brought a camera to a Dr's appointment. It made for quite the photo op...I may have to do it more often.

Plus, the Dr & nurse were GREAT about it!

My new favorite web site...

You can check it out here!
The "Welcome" is my favorite.
They think they're pretty cool!
So do I!!!

Week in Review...

The week started off a little slow...

...lots of backyard play.

The water table.

Best Summer toy I've ever purchased. Sam got it 3 years ago & every year it is a hit!

It was HOT. We got slurpees...

...and made play-doh. (bored yet?)

FABULOUS Fourth!!!

We went to Alison's for water slides, slip -n- slides & snow cones. Thanks!!

My first attempt at blueberry pie!

Fireworks, fireworks, fireworks!

On Saturday John took Matt & Zach on a 6 mile hike to Elephant Rock. The boys are working on getting their Webelos badge for Scouts & this was definitely a step in the right direction.

That little (50 foot) rock there in the middle is Elephant Rock...

...and they made it to the top!!
(this is where the mom starts hyperventilating seeing her babies sitting on the top...good thing I wasn't there!)

We're looking forward to a great July!!

Happy 4th...

Have a wonderful day!

While our backs were turned...

...the little stinkers got in the pool with their clothes on.

(faster than the speed of lightning Sam managed to get his swimming suit on.)

I love this pic of Lizzie (the one on the right flying out of the pool)

Brooklyn...

Little Miss Lizzie Lou...

Speaking of pools, this one is pretty sweet, eh?? After two stores this was the ONLY one under $450 I could find. I wasn't going to a third store. We settled for the cheap fabulous $8 pool. Care for a swim anyone?

Today...

Today you can find me here. Thanks Gab!!

(I hope I wasn't too brutally honest or offensive...)
