The 4th of July

Love my HotSling ... thanks Jen.

Tori Lynn and Alexa

Alexandria and her COOLWHIP

Kids say the darndest things...

Today we were swimming and a butterfly flew past Alex. She said," look Mom it's Barbie Mariposa." I had to chuckle.

Later that afternoon she announced she had to use the bathroom. Once she had gone #2 she said, "we don't eat poopoos, we eat cereal!" Where did that come from ?!

Tori was talking on the phone with cousin Alexa when she politely asked,"can you hold on while I go potty?"

Victoria Lynn is 5!

I cannot believe I have a 5 year old! You are so sweet. You are mommy's big helper. If I wasn't around I know our house and the kids would be taken care of. You are so mature for your age. You wake up every morning and make your bed, brush your teeth and get dressed...all without being asked. I love you so much. You are going to start a full day of school this year! I am so proud of you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Who gave Benton the yogurt?!

Nice Aim Son!

Garrett was playing with Benton last night. Oops...almost missed the mouth dead ON.
