Love me some summer break!!!

I love the summer, and spending all day long with my babies. I plan on filling our days with fun, which equals one exhausted mama by the end of the day! This past weekend was filled to the brim. We went to a great wedding Saturday night (forgot my camera, so I will be bumming some pics off of people!). Sunday we went to Jack's birthday party at the zoo, then a friend's end of the school year party. Then today Audrey's first birthday party! So much fun!This is a pic from the zoo, Brooke had animals brought in forthe kids to pet. The kids thought it was AWESOME!
Looking at the fish!
When we go on long car rides I hang in the back seat with Caroline. On the way home from the zoo she was pitching a fit. I wanted to wait to get home, so I could change and feed her.. She wasn't too happy, so I put some water in this little bitty bottle I had. She thought it was great. Kept her quiet until we got home, and she even held it herself! She is a big girl now! She turned 5 months old yesterday!
Not sure if you can see the water in this jump house. Yesterday afternoon at my friends end of year party they rented this fun thing. It POURED rain, and the kids made it into a slip in slide jump house. They were soaked, and had the best time!
Walking at the zoo, they are just too sweet.

Best Buddies!
My big girl loves to play on this play mat. She found her feet too!
I know I have said it before, but I seriously kiss on this baby all day long. ALL DAY!
My mom stealing some sugar at the beach. Look how tan my mom is, and how WHITE Louise is....
My aunt brought over marshmallow roasting gear. Corbin had the best time making s'mores at the beach with her.


We do the beach in style! Always representing! Whoop!
Love this little firecracker. This weekend she started something new. She likes to now call Chris and I MOM AND DAD. More often than not she calls us mm and dad rather than mommy and daddy. So weird to hear.
Corbin loves the beach.
Making dribble castles. I would like everyone to know that I make one mean dribble castle! Claire does a great one too...
My Uncle took the kiddos on a boat ride. They had a great time, Claire actually fell asleep in my arms.
MawMaw & Caroline
Corbin likes to give Caroline his Dog-Dog. She slobbers all over it, and he doesn't even care. He LOVES his baby sister. I cannot even imagine all the germs on that dog, but I am scared to wash it unless totally necessary... he is a bit fragile these days.
Too cool for school! Good thing it is summer!

Memorial Day weekend part 1!

We went to the beach this weekend, and had a great time! The kids really love the beach. Each tiem we go the water gets a little warmer, and the kids get a little braver. We took a lot of pictures, but I havent had a chance to go through them. Here are some Nat took. * I will post more pic tonight!
Here is a precious one of Corbin, Claire and their cousin Shelby! They both LOVE babies!

Taking a little boat ride~ Corbin, June, Claire and Sophie

Beach girl!

Sweet Claire!

There were these 6 big sand hills that the kiddos just loved! They climbed all over them.

Sliding down the sand hill!

Little Caroline Louise is a little small for the water. She just hung out under the tent. She took a few good naps with her cousin Shelbs at the beach. Caroline is soooo fair that I am goign to have to be extra careful with her in the sun.

The kids had fun in this boat that Natalie brought. Corbin took the girls for a fun boat ride.

Pretty sand toes... Claire is a true girly girl!

Summer is soooo close!

We have been busy like always around here! I am getting caught up because for the first time in forever all the kids are asleep before 11 pm. Miracle! Summer is so close, and I could not be more excited. I am so excited to soak up all the fun with my three kiddos this summer. this picture is from the Mother's Day Tea at Corbin's school. He made this PRECIOUS pot with ladybugs on it. It is one of my new prized possessions!
Here is the card ans pot he made me at school. You can see he was sooo excited for me to take his picture.
Awhile back we had another fun jumpy day! We had friends over, and just enjoyed the nice day! The kids had a blast as usual! Claire ate or wore quite a few popsicles! That day Chris also got a new truck! His old one was super old, and didn't quite fit our family anymore. He loves his new truck, and I do too.

This picture makes me laugh. We tried to get all the grand kids in a picture with my mom for mothers day. You can see how well it worked out for us. 6 kids under the age of 4 in a picture is just a big disaster. I even was bribing them with candy... nothing worked that day.
Shelby and Caroline. So sweet and precious. Still can't believe they are only 8 days apart.
Nothing like swinging outside with your sister while eating a popsicle.
I love this picture of Caroline Louise and her Paw Paw.
Nothing says summer like water balloon fights. We have had out fair share of these lately. I am about ready for Target to take the water balloons out of the dollar spot, so we don't have to get them every time we go.
My name is Corby, and I like to DANCE!
Corbin is really into taking pictures these days. He gets mad when we go to peoples houses and they have framed pictures, and he is not in every single one. He also has been crying almost nightly saying he doesn't want Caroline to grow up and get bigger. He LOVES Caroline. He loves Clare a lot too, but Caroline doesn't take his stuff quite yet...
This baby just makes me happy. All my babies make me happy, but this one just smiles at me every time I look at her. She just lights up, and lets me know she loves me. She hasn't learned to say I don't like you , or you are not my friend like my other two angels! Caroline is just such an easy baby. She has her moments, but for the most part if she is being held she is good as gold. I just kiss her face all day.
Sweet Louisea!
I love this picture because you can really see just how different the three are as far as coloring goes. Corby and his sparkly blue eyes and light hair. Claireb and her pretty browns... and then Louise with her blue eyes and what I think will be red hair... I know I have said it a million times before, and will say it a million times again. I LOVE THESE BABIES. I just really can't explain it, and I know all you mom's out there know what I am talking about... Call me crazy, but I am pretty much obsessed with my kids. I couldn't love them more than I do...

Beach & Park!

We had a really fun weekend at the beach. The water was still really cold, but Corbin did not seem to mind. He really surprised Chris and I with how much he loved the ice cold water. His favorite thing to do was to ride on his "sled". It was pretty cute! There were a lot of jellyfish that had washed up on the beach, and he liked poking them with his water gun... such a boy!
Corbin on his sled
Princess liked roaming the beach, and looking for shells. She also thought it was really fun to bury her toesies in the sand. She pranced all around the beach looking precious as usual..
Sophie and Claire!

Fun stuff!
Playing with the sand toys!
Sophie and Corbin enjoying the day!!!
Tonight we went to the park with Brooke, Jack and Grace. The kids had fun as always. Caroline was pretty happy in the swing. She just likes to sit back and take in all the excitement.
My girls!
Claire, Corbin and Jack love the park.
Corbs got a super precious new haircut from Grammy this weekend... it looks pretty stinking cute on him.
This baby just makes me smile. She is such a good baby! She just smiles at me all the time. She really likes Corbin and Claire. She loves to watch them run around, they really entertain her.
Sweet Grace! She is so cute!
My girls again..
Jack and Corbin thought it was so funny that each of them had a shoe fall off when they were getting out of the swing. It is the small things that make them laugh the hardest.
My beautiful kiddos. They really are happy kids for the most part. They love to be outside or on the move. I really try hard to do something outdoors with them as often as possible, because that is when they are the happiest.

No sound is sweeter then the sound of kiddos laughing!
