painting shells at the beach house after boiling the critters out

Pool fun...this boy is not scared of anything!

Does not get much better then hanging in the pool in the afternoon at the beach

It was a gooooood nap...check out the hair

Surf dude

who would have guessed that the wagon would be this much fun!

my three boys are getting along very well for the moment

Riding in the golf cart!

sick buddy...day one of our vacation....croup and very sick

As sad as I am that he is sick....I have to say I treasure times when they just fall asleep on you like this...it is like ten in the morning and he just passes out every time he is on me....not usual for this boy!

Bo and Mad Max

best year ever!

Samantha has so much fun making cute things on the computer

Bo always catches frogs with his bear hands! AMAZING

Just a sneak peak of Riley and Walkers garden

Proud mommy of this allstar

GOOOOO Soccer Baylen

 These pictures really do capture him perfectly!

 And my sweet Bo buddy....did not leave the baseball fields...he threw the ball up and caught it over and over and over

 aHHHHH Pray to the strawberries

 Silly Samantha....I love her many faces :)

 Love me some storytime...but this summer many people seem to agree with me...WAY TO CROWDED

 This has worked beautifully

Things I want to remember to tell my kids when they are grown
Samantha...
you love to knit at night like you are an 80 year old lady
you are always sorry when you get out of line
you love to stay up late and hang with me (hope you always do)
you may turn into mac n cheese
you have such an innocent heart and want to do good all the time...
are so good with McRae....you are going to be an amazing mommy

Bo...
your passion for things....Halloween....Legos......Batman....Baseball....you put everything in whole hearted
your hugs that linger
how you love to be read to and cuddled
going to baseball games with you
singing you are my sunshine to and how you still tear up
watching your brain work...your creativity and pure creativity
your quirky moves...body language and uniqueness that you have
your questions...that go on and on and on

Baylen
how you wink
how you click your mouth at the end of a sentence
How you add "by the way" to the end of each sentence
how you whine
and whine
and whine some more
How you just walk right out of timeout with a smile
your ability to eat sugar
your body and all its fullness :)

McRAe
your ability to bite like no other I have ever known
your smile that is as big as your face
your love for a passy and blankie
your blonde hair that fills your head completely
your fat legs in overalls
how you arch and fling
how you put your bottom lip out right before it all goes down
how you lean in when I ask for a kiss
