fun and fevers...

Here are some pictures from earlier last week. I already have a lot more, but am a bit behind! We had an eventful week last week. One day I took all three kids to the movies... we went to a jump house, went to a play place, and the splash park.. later in the week Claire came down with a mean little virus that lasted 2 days.. Caroline got it yesterday and is hopefully almost over it. This pool pic was from the first time Caroline went swimming. She loved it!
Caroline and Poof... Caroline wore this adorable outfit, and will be sporting it often. I love my girls in tutu's and ridiculously huge bows.. nothing better
pool girl!
Nana bought this super fast drying nail polish. Claire LOVED it, and we decided Caroline needed some too. It is so funny that I am about as not girly as you can be... I hate dressing up, purses, accessories, shopping.. all that stuff, but It is rare to see my girls not girled out to the max!
Sophie's birthday party was last weekend! Kids had a great time!
Caroline started some more foods this week. It was entertaining to watch her. She likes apples the best so far.. not a fan of carrots. Can you blame her? If you were wondering if eating solids is making her a better sleeper.. the answer is NOT A CHANCE!
Loves to play... as long as you are in eyesight! Spoiled much? I wouldn't have it any other waY!
Claire loves to color... on paper, furniture, herself... but she made us this great picture and told us she wanted to put it on the fridge with all the other millions of pictures. I heard her open the fridge, and she put it in a drawer... sad thing is that this was like Wednesday or Thursday of last week and it is still in there.
Everyone is getting boxes for Christmas this year. They played in this box all morning!
All in all it was an eventful week. We had a fun Fathers Day weekend at the beach, and topped it off tonight with a trip to the movies to see Toy Story 3. We took all three kiddos, I thought Caroline would snooze since she is under the weather.. not so much. Movie was precious! Corbin got an A. Claire a D and Caroline a D... at least no one failed! (that is the grade Chris gave the kids based on behavior)...** On a side note.. even though he already knows, I wanted you all to know... that my kids are blessed to have such a great daddy. He lets them know each and everyday that they are all very special to him. that they each hold a piece to his heart that when put all together makes him complete. Nothing quite like seeing the man you love be so in love with the children you love. Talk about the best feeling and making your heart melt. Thank you Chris for being such a good daddy to your Big Man, your Princess, and your Itty Bitty.
** be on the lookout for the fish post that will be coming soon!

Week one of summer... wonderful!

This week was filled to the brim with fun! We kept ourselves very busy! Everyday we did something fun together. I really enjoyed soaking in all the smiles and laughs! Little princess Caroline... Love this baby!
We have this great water park in our neighborhood that we went to a few times this week. This was a huge hit, and I now have another fun place to take the kiddos!
Claireb loved the water park too!
What a fun thing to do on a such a hot day... Don't think I wasn't close to running through there with them... too many people though.
PawPaw gave Claire a lemon... this is what happened.
One day this week I took the kids to the mall play land with a friend and her kids. There is this bungee guy stationed right outside of the play land that the kids were very interested in. I never in a million years would have thought the kids would do this or enjoy it.... They proved me wrong.. TWICE this week. I was by myself with the kids the first time they did this... I really wanted Chris to see them do this, so Chris, Nana, and Paw Paw came ti watch the second time they did it.
All ready to go... You would be shocked at how high they go
Princess has NO FEAR. NONE..
I myself would never do this... can't believe I let my 2 year old..
We played at the park a few times this week too.
Everything has become a competition between these two.
We have played with friends everyday this week which has been a lot of fun.. but when it is just the two of them, they really are sweet (most of the time)
Loving on sissy.
ADORABLE... All in all it was a great week. I just love summer. I already have more fun pictures that I need to post. We have some very busy little ones.

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.

Some of the kiddos at Jack's zoo party!
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!
