Day 7 of 365

On the swing set with my brother...

Lovin' this!

Abby huggin' on her momma, my sister, Melissa.

Rylee took these pics of the kids.  Olivia
is strong enough she can hold Chase and Abby!

Then she dropped them as quick as she lifted them up.

Sammy can balance Olivia on his head.

And now she is tired and falls off :)

All the boys went with Merritt's family and Melissa's
family to see the movie, CARS 2.  It was awesome.

For breakfast, Rylee and I had orange rolls.
They were delicious.

If you noticed, my baby girl, Princess Little was not in any of the pictures.  Poor girl has a migraine headache.  She started throwing up at 3:30 this morning.  She is a trooper though.  We are hoping the worst of it is over by Monday so we can enjoy the holiday with our VanOrden family.

Day 6 of 365

Spending the weekend together with our favorite people!

Dad brought Jordan, Rylee and Cameron to spend
the weekend with us.

Happy sisters together :)

Busy playing on my phone.

Looking forward to good times this weekend.  Happy Holiday weekend to everyone :)

Day 5 of 365

I was so tired last night when I got home, I didn't post them.  We had a fun night!

Out to dinner with Shireen and Cloe...

And Brooklyn and Aunt Louie.

Cloe decided it was time to get her ears pierced.  This is
before the "lovely" event.  All smiles.

Thinking too much and getting a little nervous.

This was right after...  She was a little sad.

She perked right up when she knew she could
pick out some new earrings!

We love you Cloe and are so glad you let us share this evening with you.  You are a rock star!

Day 3 of 365

Every morning I hear from my little guy,
"Mom, can I play your IPod?"
  This morning his wish came true.

Posing with Chase, he is the only one of Michelle's
 kids willing to take a picture

Carson wanted to do silly faces.

Jumping on the trampoline, while the sprinklers
are going...  fun fun fun!

Auntie Michelle and Carson

A little soaked from the sprinklers...

Morgan's turn to run through the sprinklers.

Completely soaked, mission accomplished.

Thanks Aunt Michelle and Uncle Todd for always making us feel welcome in your home. 

We love you!

Project 365, Day 1

I've heard about this Project 365 before and now I'm gonna see if I can do it.  I always feel like I don't take enough pics of my kids, that our life isn't exciting because I work and my kids go to the sitters alot  ....  However, I'm willing to give it a try.  And I will have my mom help me.  When she has the kids, I will make sure she takes a picture.  My other bit of inspiration is that I finally found my camera.  It has been lost since the first week of May.  I found it today in my van when we were leaving church.  Another sign that this a good thing to do!  In the interim I did buy another camera on clearance, so I have two cameras and no excuses!

Day 1

Camera Found:

One of our Sunday traditions is to watch a movie or new Disney episodes...  I was able to get the kids smilin' on this one.

And then they are apart again, watching Phineas and Ferb, one of their favorites!
