So I got a little MAD...

when I saw the kids bathroom looking like this




so I gave it a deep clean



and now it looks like this





the end.

okay, so maybe I left out a few details & drama but all that matters is that it was done in less than a week & we love it! It still needs a mirror & shower curtain to add a little flavor & that part may take a year.

The week went too fast!

this is how I found her every morning

with spring weather like this, every meal had to be eaten outside & even though the pigs were in a blanket, we certainly didn't need one

blossoms fell like snow














ice cream for everyone! well almost everyone...

Tammy really was meant to have handfulls of boys (& Jody handfulls of girls. Laura was meant to have quintuplets that would stay infants forever. Deb, well she's quite content with adult children :)

Thomas lOved his 3 outfit changes daily by his aunt bam bam...every time she pulled a shirt over his head he came out smiling

she really was asleep until she heard the camera

what's the meaning behind this suitcase...should i start crying now?

6 pairs of these shoes fit into the above suitcase. Shopping is work these days but with Tammy it's more like a quest

See you soon!

oh what do you do in the Spring time

when an aunty comes to town? You keep her up in the night and make her hold you real tight, oh that's what you doooo....so do I

I didn't know he would take me literally when I said 'say cheese'

continued...

listen buddy...if I didn't have to stop & snuggle you every 5 minutes, maybe I'd get more done. Patience is a virtue you know.

WHAT? Another Spring Break!

Look who came to town for their spring break












the operator guy said he never had anyone pose before...that's our dave!




then summer



and tessa


got to fly high and they loved it













next came bryn who had no fear & was all smiles











last up (and yes it took a little convincing) eliza & her momma




i was trying to motivate liza the whole time by hollering 'JUMP' buuuut, it didn't work




a first time flip...ever (a regular trampoline was never secure enough for me:)







here is her happiest moment...getting off.

just so proud that the girl tried


garrett missed out b/c he ate the wrong meal an hour earlier so he was on camera duty


We got video footage of Dave that made us double over with laughter...there is nothing quite like family entertainment
