Welcome, Aunt Lizzy

Not to be so narcissistic to think that the two people that follow my blog actually care, but blogger has been a huge pain lately and I just don't have an entire afternoon to devote to downloading pictures. That is why I'm 2 months behind in blogging.

Anyways.....

Aunt Lizzy came to visit for a week the beginning of this summer. It was so great to have an extra set of hands around here--and the kiddos love her so much.

We took a long walk with all the littles. We stopped for about 20 minutes to watch the crane working at the hospital addition down the street and then went on to the park.

We fed the ducks and geese and had a picnic lunch.

And then these cute twinnies begged me to take their picture--which pretty much never happens.

One of 4 pictures of all time with 4 little boys all looking at the camera!

And Lizzy was so awesome about finding fun things for the littles to do. Here they are in their undies making trains out of feet prints.

More to come...if I can ever get the pics uploaded...

So Loud

Call it a phase, or maybe he comes by it so naturally (a little Mach), but this kiddo has been crazy lately. Maybe he's just gotten to the point where he knows what he wants but he can't quite verbalize it. At any rate, a screaming Leo has been the status quo for about a month or two around here.

And since when does an 18 month old answer his mother's requests with "Why?" He is waaaaaay to young to be doing that, right? Or how about when I'll ask him a questions and he responds "Cuz"

He's growing up so much and so quickly. It will be just a matter of months before he can do every single thing that his brothers can do. 

Lake

Lake season is here. Our first weekend was pretty chilly, but we celebrated Dominic and Jessica's birthdays.

 On a cold day, bubbles can occupy for a long time.

The kiddos got a joint birthday cake.

Dominic got super sweet Spiderman sheets and a comforter to go in his superhero room (if we ever get it done....)

It was a happy day for two special littles.

Careers 101

Dominic: When I grow up, I want to be one of those guys who tells bad guys they have to go to jail.

Me: Like a judge?

Dominic: Yea!

Luke: Before you become a judge you have to be an attorney--like your dad!

Jackson: Yea, (miming driving a car) and then you have to turn, and turn and turn the car.
