Family Time

I LOVE SUMMER! It has been great to have more freedom in the schedule and more time together as a family. Mike and I took the kids to the park the other day. It started to rain, but the kids found a perfect 'set up' under the playscape...perfect for a picnic for a family of 5! :)



Here is a glimpse at family fun night. This week while the big kids munched on pizza and watched a movie, Macy kept herself busy by putting on Brennan's clothes, toddling around the house, and her new favorite past time:coloring. She can't get enough of it! It is the only thing that keeps her busy for more than 15 seconds.







We are in Houston this week so the kiddos can go to Vacation Bible School at my parents Church. My parents have blessed me by taking the kids in the mornings (Mom is working in the nursery and taking Macy with her)and giving me 5 mornings off in a row! WOW! Thank you mom and dad. Dad also has the kids signed up for some swim lessons - more on that to come. So, the car pictures are somewhere east of Brenham on our way to Houston. We were in the homestretch, and the kids had some sun chips to get us through the last part of the drive. I guess I should have gotten more though...I had no idea Elmo was so hungry. And Mike, I didn't turn around to take that picture, I promise. And yes, that is why my car is SO dirty!

When I grow up

As a part of Madison's graduation ceremony, the kids got up and shared what they want to be when they grow up. I have never heard Madison say this before, and she cracked me up. I wonder if this is a compliment to my great mothering :), or a reflection of the fact that she thinks I just sit around and take it easy all day. ( Jennifer- I found this especially funny after the cartoon you just posted on your blog!).

My Graduates

Look at the difference. The picture in the blue dress is the second day of Kindergarten and the white tank top was today.







It has been a crazy couple of weeks. Brennan graduated from his first year of preschool and Madison graduated from Kindergarten. Here is a glimpse of Madison's big day. Unfortunately, I don't have Brennan's b/c they are on my phone and I don't have the needed cord to get them off. So, one day we Will get to see them...I will say I did cry at his graduation, which is so silly since he is going back to the same school next year. They just grow up so fast. Here he is singing at the 'mom's tea'. he is sitting in the middle with the white shirt.


And, my Macy update: She is a hoot. Her most recent favorite pastime- go into the kids closets and put on layers of shorts and underwear! These are all Brennan's clothes!
Her favorite words are 'no' and 'gimme', her favorite toy is her baby doll, and her cutest moment is when you can hear her singing, "papa loves me, papa loves me, yes he does, yes he does" from her crib.
