Strawberry picking

No, Wendy and I don't ALWAYS dress alike.  Just most of the time.  T is on my back somewhere and one of the big kids took the picture before running off to be independent.  

Vacation crashers

We continue to be expert vacation crashers.  Being a stay-at-home mom ROCKS.  Thank you to the young Youngs for hosting us!

BUBBLES!!!!

They were playing "naptime" and E was telling a story. :o)

Recent Fun

These girls run in opposite directions.

Jas doesn't work from home often.  I think it's because of the relaxed dress code.  

Mmm mmm ice cream!

The concerts on the green have started up -- it is officially summer!  BUBBLE MAN!

It's a Hard Knock Life

Summer is HERE!

Ballet Peek Week

Talie watched and clapped and cooed happily until the last 10 minutes and then she wanted to participate.  She kept storming into the class so we had to go out into the hall!

Last day of school

Holy crap she's going to kindergarten.  How did that HAPPEN?!?

Scout sneezed as I took the photo!

Talie was too cool to participate in the photo shoot.  She kept yelling "cheese!" but running away.

First day and last day -- she grew and Scout got old!

Father's Day

I didn't take many pictures but we had a whole bunch of kids running through the sprinkler all afternoon and we feasted on Chipotle burritos.

These girls are so lucky to have this man as their dad.  He is patient, kind, hilarious, and loving.  When he leaves in the morning, they are glued to the window waving and blowing kisses until he drives away.  The minute they hear the garage door open at night, they run to the window yelling his name.  They adore him and he adores them.  I am so so so lucky.

Fun Day!

Elliott's pre-school does a FUN DAY with a petting zoo and all sorts of activities in lieu of a graduation.  It was POURING rain and the animals were soggy but that didn't keep the kids from riding the ponies and going on the giant muddy bouncy slide!

Beach Day!

So much sand on her head.  So much.

Dylan and Amber

We headed to Rockaway again this weekend for Jas' little brother's wedding.  J was a groomsman, E was a flower girl, and T spent the night with some cousins who claim she stopped crying as soon as I left the house ... hmmmm.  It was a GORGEOUS day and fun to be around all the preparations at the house (E was super cooperative getting ready because everyone was getting all fancy together).  The wedding itself was an absolute blast.  Elliott was a rockstar.  We got tons of compliments on how funny and well behaved she was -- she loved being a flower girl and was on the dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG.

Handsome man!!

Their baskets were mostly full by the time they got down the aisle so the priest showed them how to throw handfuls into the air.  Ha!

Dyl's first glimpse of Amber
