Have you ever seen any one having that much fun?

Happy Fathers Day!

Little Birds

A few weeks ago we had a nest full of baby robins in our yard. The nest is down on the bottom branches of the tree so we could see it really easily, and the kids could see the baby birds sticking their little heads out of their nest, it was so fun to be able to see them so close, and the mom fed them constantly so it was also very entertaining.








After a just a week or two they had gotten so big and were ready to try flying. So for two days the three baby birds hopped between our yard and the neighbors trying to get off the ground. It was funny because they would let us walk right up to them, and they'd be perfectly still, like if they didn't move we wouldn't see them. They were fun to have around and I guess they finally figured out the flying thing because we haven't seen them since.

Happy Birthday Ali! Ali turned 4 a couple days ago. She is such a great little girl! Ali is always a great helper and big sister, she is so sweet, every day she tells me how much she loves me and is very generous with hugs and kisses! She also just finished her first year of pre-school, which she loved every day of.

On her birthday we had lots of friends and family over to celebrate with a flag cake which she helped me make. She had a blast running around with all of her friends and cousins. The morning after her birthday I was talking to her and I told how she is so big now she is 4 yrs old. She said "I know Mom I'm a big girl princess 4 years old!" So that's what we call her now, big girl princess 4 years old.

She loves riding her new bike and she has had so much fun with her new toys that I have really enjoyed the last couple of days of her and Brody playing so good! Although I really don't like polly pocket shoes!

to text or not to text

So...Today Ali decided she wanted to go to Callie's and I explained to her that is not going to be possible (since Callie decided to move herself half way across the country!) So she said that would like to sleep at grandma's. She looked at me and said "can I tex mess your mom?" I said "you want to take your shoes to my mom?" "NOOO!" she said (as she rolled her eyes) "I want to tex mess her!" as she pointed to my phone. Oh now I get it! My 3 year old has decided she is ready to start texting!!

A new room...

Brody and Ali are getting so big. Callie and I recently replaced Brody's crib with his "Big boy bed" and raised Ali's bed too, it is "So Tall" just like her. The kids were loving it. They "helped" and then they jumped on their "new" beds to brake them in.

Since I moved Brody into Ali's room, I decided to make it a little bit boy, and not all girl. So he has a little space of his own. I put up his curtain on the window by his bed, and also hung some cowboy decorations up above his bed.

Time for a change

Well I guess Lee couldn't take it any longer! So he gave Brody a haircut. These are the before and after pictures. Don't pay attention to the glitter in his hair in the after picture, Bennie, Stevie and Ali combed glitter gel in his hair before I got a picture. I really loved his hair long and shaggy!! But I must admit it turned out really cute! (with a little help from Madi) He looks so much older all of a sudden.
