The Apple Store

You’ve got to love these four electronically-deprived children at the apple store.
All four are zoned out to their own IPad.
Or at least three are, and one is trying really hard!

Skylar Snap

I’m not sure what this caption means???
But I do love a picture of cousins loving each other.

Love Note

Just a little gem that Micah left for me to find when I drove his car to Los Angeles.
How’d he know that I’d be fiddling through his middle console?
No matter how, lucky me!

Baby #5

This is the reason I have felt like junk for that past two months!
No wonder.

Cake Pops

My kids lucked out when Grandma called with a rad surprise.
Her friend had extra cake, and wanted to teach my kids how to make cake pops.
They had the BEST time!
They told me every detail when they got home, and then took them all to school to share with their friends.
They actually told me it was one of the funnest things they have ever learned!
I was surprised to find out that weeding, cleaning, and organizing aren’t their favorites?!?

King Boo Boo

King Boo Boo has struck again.  I think this boy comes in with at least two “boo boo’s” each day, but every few days there is a doozy — bike crash, head bump, stair trip, etc!
And this fat lip was one of those doozies.
Poor King Boo Boo.

Waking Up With Friends

Sometimes When I hear Pippi walking towards me first thing in the morning, I get my camera out to snap a picture.
When this girl turned the corner this morning, I was SO HAPPY I had my camera on hand.
Have you ever seen a cuter scene in your life?!
Just a girl with her friends she slept with.
All of her friends!

Bow Tied

Just the most handsome boy with his handmade bow tie.
After “dressing up” he asked me if I wanted to go on a special date with him.
I told him, all day every day!

Cabana on the Beach

I took the littles down to Baby Beach, but it was torn apart, because they are bringing in new sand.
Good thing I have a good friend who has a cabana on the beach.

I was in the shade — my favorite, while the kids played in the sand — their favorite.

And as a special thank you, Dash left our friends with some of his scent.

Yogurt

Just a Yogurtland date with a cross-eyed girl, and some of her buddies.
I think by looking at this, you can tell who the hardest player at school is.
Her knees are dirty, her pants are stretched out two sizes, her bow is two inches in front of where it was placed, and not pictured are the “monkey ring” calluses and dirty fingernails.
In case you didn’t guess….”her” is the Ickity Dickity Dock!
