Summer Fun

We have been having a wonderful summer. Miss A loves her sisters! She watches everything they do. If they are not in the room....she screams!!!!! They come running and she is fine again :) The girls are in San Antonio right now. I know they are only gone for a week, but I will be a brat and say "I HATE SHARING". OK, now that is out in the open! (like you guys don't know how I feel about certain things)

Addison is really improving on her hand/eye coordination. I tried her blocks a couple of days ago....she loved them. She is sitting up more now....in fact, last night at dinner with Gee and Grumpy, she sat in a high chair!! Don't worry, she is still chunky as ever!!!

Jer, Uncle Ryan and I took the girls to the Grapevine pool. It is about a block from our house....we have a great time when we go.

Uncle Ryan and the girls

The little monkeys even jumped off the diving board!!!!

After swimming, we went to MeMe's house for a little family time. Jenifer and Emory are in town for the Miss Texas Pageant and Matt and Stormy are in town because their baby boy, Pecos, is at Harris Methodist. He is now 2lbs, 7 ounces!!!

All the kiddos (Ryan and Jer included) had the best time....

DeeDee played with Addi....(see her new hair bow....Jen made all the girls one...they have a rhinestone initial on them)

See....everyone coloring....I think Ryan colored batman and Jer santa clause :)

The boys were the last ones standing :)

Good Morning!!

After complaining yesterday about being sooo tired and not wanting to hear Mommy one more time.......God said, "Are you sure?"

I was getting Grace's cereal ready and she tiredly said, "Mommy, I love you lots and lots of times every day!"

Today I am spending all day with the girls.....all three of them :)

Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!

If I hear Mommy one more time.......

Have you ever had one of those days? Ya know, when you wish you could stay in bed all day :)

We had dance this morning.....I had a luncheon with several clients.....I finished hours of claims and paperwork.....we had arts and crafts time......a tea party.....2 baths for everyone.....we ate and watched cartoons somewhere in between. I am sooooo fortunate that I work the hours of a part time person during the day. I get to spend time with the girls and I am so thankful that I am here for the tea parties. Today I am just tired :) One of my clients was diagnosed with cancer.....I am so thankful I can help them financially. Please pray for him, his wife and his doctors! They are such a sweet family!

Today Jeremy screamed for me to come upstairs!!!! Addison was crawling!!! Of course, when I got there with the camera in hand.....she was just way too tired to show mommy:)

Miss Faith before dance today

Miss Grace

Emory is a Lone Star Princess this year at Miss Texas. I made a couple of outfits for her to wear at the different rehearsals and events they have.

Watch What You Say!

As I was sewing today, I overheard this conversation......

Faith was eating her really huge lollipop......

Jeremy, "Faith...I want a lick."

pause

Jeremy, "Oh m....What tha.....why did you lick me?"

Faith, "You asked me to Daddy!"

I just laughed....not out loud of course.

Later Jer told me that she just walked right up and gave him a nice and sticky lick on the cheek ;)

Rub A Dub Dub

Have we already outgrown the sink?

FYI

I love sweet potatoes!!!! I ate the entire jar tonight :)

Addison

Tap Video

This is part of the tap routine they learned today :)

I was taking this video through the window....

Dance!!!!

The girls had their first dance class this morning. I woke them up to yummy cinnamon toast and milk. We watched Dora and then got ready for dance. When we arrived, the girls said that their tummies were nervous!!! :) Their teacher is incredibly sweet! So once they met her, they were fine! I was able to take pictures through the window :)

Pictures, Pictures and more Pictures

Here are a few recent picture.......

Addison loves it when Daddy comes home!

She is trying really hard to crawl!!! It makes her soooo mad....she just screams!!!

Of course she has to rest a lot :)

Cristie sang at the Ranger game last night, so Ryan came in and we all loaded up!

This is Grace.....she was really good at hitting!!

Faith took it very seriously....she focused really hard when she was batting :)

After the game the girls decided they need to camp outside with the tent and map they got for their birthday! They used their map to decide where Uncle Ryan should put the tent up :)

Jeremy and Uncle Ryan decided it would be funny to scare the girls......"coyotes really love 4 year olds".....geeezzzz Grace ran to Jer for protection!



Bear decided he needed to sleep in the tent too!!!

Faith loved the map!!!!!

That's what you get for scaring them!!!!

Everyone fit in that little tent!!!!!

So the camp out turned into a wrestling match....then a lets see how much I can mark on you

Our almost finished coke machine. We still have to finish the top sticker and even out the silver

Our veggies are growing and flowers are starting to bloom!!!!
