Trying to get caught up

I am so behind (again) I'm just updating with tons on pictures of what's been going on lately.




Baseball.  That's what we've been up to!

  


Showing off his shiner

 


Tara likes to hang out by the bathroom with all the boys.

 


And playing in the dirt!





  


We had a great Easter, except for the tornados all around!

 

 


Much better!

  


We do take a few seconds to stop and scratch!

  


Sage's wedding and Robert actually dressed up!  It will be a long time before this happens again so I had to get a picture! Ha!

   


The boys have been working on their 2nd fort when they can

   


I had a good Mother's Day with my babies

  


Koy had to dress as a fairytale character for the school play, so I made him a Pinnichio costume.

  


Kase as one of the 3 Little Pigs

  


TK even wore her 3 Little Pigs outfit :)

  


More baseball - catching now.

  


Charity graduated nursing school!!!  And this is what happened on the way to her pinning ceremony...

  


But we made it, and now SHE'S A NURSE!  Love you girl!

  


Tara enjoyed the punch

  


And we had fun after :)

   

Another Random Photo Shoot

Or I guess you could call them Tara's 18 month pictures!  I have been eyeing this house for quite a while.  I knew I wanted to take pictures there, but I have been waiting for the right outfits.  When I saw this fabric I knew it was perfect.  So I threw this together on Saturday and we headed out for a quick photo shoot.  I can't believe how well it went and how well my kiddos acted!  Here area  few of my favorites.  They aren't great, and I think I'm losing my touch, but I thought some of them were pretty cute!



Another First

Little Miss Priss got her first haircut last weekend.  She was soooo good!

Before

I guess she was bored!

After

After the haircut a little trip to the mall for a couple of things and lunch at Chic-fil-a.



Life as I know it

Well, what life I had, is officially over until after Fandangle!  Baseball season has started and both boys decided they want to play this year.  Kase has practice or a game every day of the week except Wed. and the weekends.  Koy has games on Saturdays, and a few during the week too.  As soon as baseball is over, Fandangle will start.  I am going to be super busy, (like I'm not already!) but I love my boys, and if they want to play, I will let them play! 

Koy's first game.  He still needs LOTS of practice! :)

I think this is too funny.  They are not related at all, but I would swear they were!

Watching the game

Kase's first game isn't until later in the month, so no pics of him yet!

On top of baseball, let's add 4-H rifle practices and tournaments!  :)

I'm pretty proud of this boy!

Of course Tara kept the "men" entertained while Kase was shooting!

 

18 Months and BIG NEWS!!!

Yesterday, my baby girl turned 18 months old.  Today, she TEE TEED ON THE POTTY!!!  YAY Tara!  We go to the dr. on the 4th, so I will update her stats then.

Weight:  24 lbs 15 oz
Height: 32.5 inches

She gained less than a pound in 3 months so of course her dr. had to comment.  She said she wasn't concerned yet, but she wanted her to have gained more when she comes back. 

This is kind of how she felt about it, but I was excited!

Now that we are finally back in our house, I'm back to my sewing.  I'm up to my eyeballs in shorties.  This is how I found her Sunday.  There is only so much you can do before you give it up when you're cooped up with Mom in one room all day long.  O yeah, she insisted on wearing her brother's vest all day too!

I got away

Loving the weather!

The girls playing at Grandmother's

Even though the wind was blowing a gazillion miles an hour on Sunday, we went out to ride 4-wheelers and cook out.  It felt good to do nothing, but the whole time I kept thinking about all the stuff I needed to be doing at home.

Tara's first 4-wheeler ride with Jacob

Snack Time

Hanging out with the guys

 

Dirty Girl!

Throwing rocks in the water

Climbing the "mountain"

I just love watching all the kids be kids and get dirty!

I'm also trying to get back into the sewing groove of things.  Since I missed out on the MJ shorties, I made these for Tara the other night out of some scraps I had laying around.  I've got more fabric ordered, and plan on making tons more of them.  Soft, comfy and cute!
