KIX FOR EVERYONE!

Our new love... KIX Cereal!

7 1/2 months old

We can hardly believe it.... Little One is doing so great! Her new thing is talking (more like screaming.. but talking sounds better). Two nights ago she actually tried to get up on her knees. She is constantly rocking when on her tummy like she just wants to take off... I would prefer that she stay put for a while longer!

Friends Forever

Miss M and her best friend have been inseparable lately.... Same street, same school, same Brownie troop... but they are so sweet together and this picture was just so cute. Miss M and her friend were able to take part in a Brownie Try-It night... we had about 14 girls from our troop and they had a blast. They earned 3 try-it badges that night... I think the best part for us moms was the snack.... imagine fried bread caked in powdered sugar... like a homemade donut.. that is not in the diet plan, but a nice treat!

Always stop to smell the roses...

What a surprise... Flowers from my parents for our anniversary. They are probably the most beautiful roses I have ever seen! Had to share them... Thanks Mom and Dad!

The more mess, the more fun!

Well, little one has decided she does not like being fed... She was so fussy tonight and not wanting to take anything to eat.. we think she is teething... So, I decided to let her explore her food bowl just to keep her busy.... Here is the first picture... She was very lady like and exploring very carefully...

And then we started getting "more into it".... and her sisters began egging her on....

And one last picture... immediately after this we took the clothes off and threw them in the sink to soak, and little one went right into the tub... we found rice cereal and peas EVERYWHERE! But, at least she had a good time and we got some classic Kodak moments!

A rainy day

Ok.. so this is very overdue.. but we actually had rain.. and boy did we have flooding... the kids had to stay inside for another day.. not due to the heat this time, but water... Here is our greenbelt to the left of our house.. We could not believe how quickly the water rose.. we had no sidewalks at all at the begining of the day.. this is a few hours after the rain storm. At least it brought the temperature down under 100 but with humidity! I am not sure which is worse!

Some rainy day fun...

An afternoon with Nana

So I figured that many of you who see our space here might want to see some shots of Nana.

We were to Tucson on Sunday and took her out to lunch. She was in great spirits and was actually up for an outing which I was excited about... We went to the Gold Room and she had a great time... Even commented how good the food was compared to her place... We came back just in time for a party in the lounge and hung out. The kids were a hit. Miss A decided to teach a couple how to play chess and was with them for well over 1/2 hour. When it was time to go she told them she would come back in "10 weeks for another lesson". It was funny. Fun day and here are some shots from it...

We had some "playtime" as well.... I think every pillow was off every chair and couch for the fort that was built..

And look who has mastered the art of sitting!
