Cell phone dump...

So for my Mother's Day presents, I finally moved up in the real world and got a "Smart phone", the only problem with said smart phone is that I forget to pull out my normal camera! There for I ended up with over 200 pictures on my phone since I got it a couple weeks ago and now I dumped them all onto my computer and deleted the bad ones and kept some goodies and then narrowed it down. Unless you're a friend of mine on Facebook, this is probably the first time you've seen these pictures. The nice thing about my new phone is I can upload the pictures right to facebook as I take them, I know I can do the same for my blog, as I downloaded an application for it, I just haven't had time to play with it to see how it works! So enjoy these!

"Going Grocery Shopping"

I ran to get Addie a new pull-up and this is what I found...her reading one of Gene's towing magazine's while going potty!

Amelia getting her ears pierced!

Addie getting her ears pierced, holding Grandma Mary's hands.

Ready to go swimming!

Everyone needs a winter hat on 80 degree days right?!

Her new trick...clapping her hands.

Playing play-doh!

All of the dads playing with the kids at Taylor's First Communion Party

I was eating a freezie pop one day with the older kids and look who stole it...

Kindergarten field trip to Bray Park

She got herself cornered under my Grandma's end table

Not so happy she can't get back out!

Big Girl!

Docks are in! Kevin helped my dad and uncle put in the docks at my Grandparents cabin last weekend, Papa was the supervisor! ;-)

The cabin!

She loves the baby slide!

Avoiding bedtime!

The girl LOVES broccoli!

Enjoying the great outdoors!

Last week we celebrated my daycare boy Marcus' 5th birthday. I baked funfetti cupcakes and we enjoyed them on the patio when the big kids got home from school! All of the kids enjoyed being able to finally play out in the backyard and I was able to get the babies outside too, which was nice for them to get some fresh air too!

Daycare activity

Last Thursday my new daycare girl started, so I thought I'd plan an activity for them to do, it kept them busy for about 15 minutes! They decorated baby food jars with foam stickers and then they planted grass seed in them. Everyone had a great time putting them together!

Here is Paul helping Adeline put her dirt in hers.

Sunday Funday

Not sure what he was doing, but he sure loves his new bike helmet. Between him and Addie neither of them will take them off outside even when they are done riding their bikes!

I know what you're thinking, nice redneck sledding...as part of the clean-up, we're still putting away winter things and taking out the spring and summer items. Adeline insisted that her sister pull her in the sled...notice she had yet to remove her bike helmet?!

Sweet Stella loves being outside just as much as the others!

I'm so happy it's finally nice enough for us to get out in the back yard again!

Finally...

Finally it's getting nice enough to spend time outside. Paul and Addie played outside for almost an hour and a half this morning. They came in to eat lunch and so Addie could take her nap. As soon as she woke up from her nap she said "Mama, I go play outside!" I told her she needed to ask Pauly if he'd go outside with her. At that time Amelia had just gotten home from school too and headed out to the backyard with them. I'm very thankful for our large fenced in backyard! I checked on them every two minutes and they had a great time playing out there! Stella stayed inside with me along with my daycare baby, but I had pulled out our old double stroller to take pictures so I could sell it and I set Stella in it and she looked so cute I had to take a picture!

Trying out her trike on the patio

We removed one of his training wheels last night and probably in a few more weeks we can remove the other one!

Beautiful weather.

With all of this beautiful spring weather we've been having, we've been spending a lot of time outdoors. We've had a few meals out on our patio, since we can finally enjoy it. We poured our patio last August and it seems like it rained every day after we poured it. Well not really, but just about, so we didn't really get to enjoy it last summer/fall. We bought a new patio set this spring, so it's been nice to be out there and enjoy it all.

Amelia and Paul with their cheesy smiles, they opt to eat at their little picnic table for dinner!

Addie enjoying her dinner

Cruisin' away in Pauly's jeep!

Lookiung forward to many more nice days to enjoy the patio and our backyard!
