My little Indian

Katie is playing coed t-ball this year with lots of her friends! She had her first game last week, played out in right field, and seemed to really enjoy herself.....

Her fans:

She told me she felt like a boy since no one could see her hair when she had her helmet on!

Disney on Ice

My kids have the best Aunt She She in the world! She got all of our family tickets to see Disney on Ice in a suite. The kids LOVED it! They both asked me this morning if we could go back today, I had to break it to them that they have moved on to another city but we will be seeing them all again on their home turf in January! The kids ate snow cones in their Tinkerbell and Mickey cups and Austin brought home a Buzz Lightyear sword and Katelyn got a spinning light up princess wand. Katie's favorite part were the Princesses and Austin's was Buzz Lightyear and Woody. I think we will be going to see Toy Story 3 as soon as it hits theatres!

Katie's lazy eyes got caught here, she wasn't actually making such a blah face:

Sweet P's

It's soccer time again! I forgot the camera on her first two games, so here are some from her third (although there is one from a previous game I took with Stan's cell). She is still loving to play, she just needs to be a bit more agressive to be successful in this sport. What great exercise though!!Chase clapping for his big sis:

Visit to the pond

On Friday, I took the kids to the park that sits next to a pond. This is where we go to feed the ducks, fish, turtles, and birds. I tried really hard to get a good shot of my three little ones but they just didn't all work together when I needed it! That's okay though, we had lots of fun and ran out lots of energy!

Twins!

Today I had the pleasure of watching a friend's baby who is 2 months older than Chase. It was hilarious to watch them together! One would chase the dog, then the other would join in, then of course I would join in, and it was just what I would imagine a mother of twins would do! We had a great time and it even inspired me to start feeding Chase some table food. He is officially our first kid to accept non pureed food at this age. Katie and Austin would throw up everything chunky, due to the reflux, and then came the oral aversions to food, and yadda yadda, but this kid WILL EAT ANYTHING!!! He has mastered the stage 3 foods (Katie and Austin never did), and he will eat real peas, carrots, green beans, apples, bananas, grapes, and peaches. WOO_HOO!!!!!!!

High Flying

I took the kids out today for a little lesson in kite flying. It took my quite a while (I can only remember one time in my life flying a kite) to get the hang of it. But finally we got our two kites flying! The kids were so darn excited about the whole thing. Then I finally got them flying, handed them the string, and they had so much for maybe a minute and a half before asking if they could go play something else! Ha! So I ended up doing most of the flying. Then I had to go answer the phone inside, I gave Austin back the reigns. This is moments before the devastating crash that would take the life of our 3 dollar spiderman kite:

Three kids.......

.................one toy. No screaming. A miracle no doubt.....

Snowy spring!

While the kids were away.....the dog will play? Yes while the kids were gone camping this weekend, we got 6 inches of snow! Who cares that it was the second day of Spring, or that we had already gotten 15 inches of snow this season. Our little city ended up having it's snowiest season on record, woohoo!!! I am just sorry the big kids missed out on this one!!

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

This little guy can disappear in seconds and end up somewhere in the house you wouldn't expect in the blink of an eye. Don't let the cuteness fool you, he's trouble.

Yea, the cling clang of ceramic. We lost two of Castle's water bowls when Austin was this age because of banging them on the tile. Here comes trouble......

Beautiful weekend

So we are outside ALL the time these days soaking up this beautiful springtime that usually lasts 3 weeks before the scorching heat sets in for 6 months!!! While the big kids were outside playing with their new sand/water table from MeMe's house, Chase was doing what he does best, stuffing his face :)

Gee, did I make them take this picture or what:

Fun Fun!!

Mixed Bag

Since I am so behind on updating the blog, I don't really know what we were doing in most of the pics so make your own captions if you like!


This of course is my sweet buddy: Chase, being caught doing something I am sure:

The new thing Austin likes to do instead of smiling, yea for that:

Sweetheart:

The wild child:

Loving his curls:

Yes, the dressed themselves, apparently they discussed their options, and settled on Cowboy boots:

My sweet not-so-little-anymore baby boy:

The Fam Shot

A couple of shots before church one morning, the boys were all dressed the same :)
