More Kid pictures

Last Saturday we went out to Schells and by the graffiti wall in town and took a few more pictures. I even convinced Brian to come with for some family pictures.

Here is a picture of the cousins.

Logan's normal pose.

This is as good as it gets for family pictures in this house.

I love this picture of Randi and Sydney that I ended up capturing.

Look at that beautiful smile.

Tough dude.

Gotta get a picture of the lovely Lily.

This picture makes me laugh because Randi is having fun and the other two look upset to be taking another picture.

Kid pictures

My sister and I decided to head down to German Park in an attempt to get some good pictures of the kids. We managed to get a few even with some busy kids. All was going to well, up until Logan decided to football spike my camera. I was not pleased to say the least. Here are the pictures that we managed to get before that little incident.

I love the flowers all around. I think my age is starting to show since I am in love with seeing such pretty flowers.



Relay for Life

I did Relay for Life this year again, heading up the Target Team. We did well. We raised about 1,300 dollars for our team. I was very happy with the success that we had. I hope that next year it will be even better and we will raise even more money than this last year.

Swimming

We have been doing a ton of swimming this summer. I have a million pictures to prove it too.

Sick Girl

My poor Brenna was sick last week. The doctor said that she had croup. She was definitely not herself. She was crying constantly, wouldn't leave my side and just wanted to lay down. Something she never does. She still has a raspy voice but I am glad that she is doing much better.

Here she is on the first day that she didn't feel very good. She fell asleep in my arms after already having a nap an hour prior.

Here she is a couple days later, still not feeling the best. She was into watching Mickey Mouse Club House to pass the time of feeling icky.

The good, the bad, and the ugly

Yesterday I decided to buy the kids some finger paints. It took all that was in my neat-freak-controlling self to do this. I don't mind my kids getting dirty, I just usually have a threshold of dirty that I am not a fan of.

Anyway, in the morning the kids painted a little. Brenna just pretty much got her hands dirty while Logan was very much into it. He loved mixing the colors along with painting on his paper.

Fast forward to after school. Our daycare was closed for the day so my sister had asked if my neice, Sydney, could walk to our house instead. I told her that was fine. Sydney made it to our house just fine. After some afternoon snacks, a little toy room time, and a little Alvin and the Chipmunks, I decided it was time to go outside. So, off the two bigger kids went while I got Brenna's shoes on and got her ready. Brenna and I went out the back door and Logan and Sydney were no where to be found. Not a big deal because they usually stick around the house and I figured they were close.

After about two minutes of being outside I ran back in to grab my sweatshirt. So, I figured I would check through the kitchen windows to see what the kids were doing up front. I could not believe my eyes. They were fingerpainting our front porch!?! I was a little upset. I knew that Sydney had to open the fingerpaints because Logan didn't quite know how. I made them wait until my sister got here so that they could show her what they did. After they did that, they had to clean the mess up. Thank goodness the paint was washable!

I did not get a picture of the mess that they made, but I did get a picture of them cleaning up the mess. My neice is on the left hand side, then there is Logan and then there is Brenna. Sydney insisted that I didn't take a picture of them, but what she doesn't know.....

Can I just add that I am in LOVE with my Iphone and Instagram!!

Its been quite a while

Its been a while since I have posted. With two young ones, they keep us pretty busy. I will just share some pictures. These are all pictures from my phone. :)
