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.
Some of the kiddos playing on jumpy house day!

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!

Have I told you lately how much I love my kids?

All I can say is that I love my babies so much. I really can't explain just how happy they make me, or the feeling I get deep in my heart when they smile. The happiness these children bring me.. well I can't explain it.
Caroline Louise looks so precious in blue! It makes her pretty blue eyes sparkle!
Corbin & the girls went to a super fun birthday party yesterday. It was at a park, so we really enjoyed the nice weather. Corbin and his friends ran all around with their spiderman masks on. Corbin thought this was so awesome! He is such a boy! Constantly running, jumping, growling and just loving the outdoors.
My "big" kids
We all know how much my kids love giant inflatables...
Princess... Chris has called Claire "Princess" for a while know. It seems more and more people are catching onto this and she is now referred to as "princess" often... All I can say is my princess is growing up fast, and says some of the sweetest things. She often will just randomly tell Chris and I that she loves us.. talk about melting your heart. Don't worry though in the next sentence she will tell us her famous line "you are a bad boy/girl and you are not coming to my party!"
Having fun!
The kids had a great weekend. I love my weekends at home with Chris and the kids.

Swinging

Today we went to the park with Jack Jack and baby Grace. Caroline got to meet her friend Grace for the first time, so that was special! She also got in the swing for the first time! Brooke took this cute picture of her! I could kiss this sweet face all day long... ALLL DAY! Didn't get any pics of the other kiddos, because they were too busy having fun!
