Reunion

It is the perfect family reunion when my sisters, nieces and nephews meet me at my Mom's!  

Well today I failed my challenge to take a picture a day with my camera.  

I did get some pictures with my phone . . .but it just isn't the same.

The day was super fun and super busy! 

Big play date lunch!

Kiddos played for a little while

Of course we loved on some cousins!

Then we went to Monica and Livi's and swam in the pool

Dropped the kids off with Taylor before we

Had a double date with Melissa and Daniel

. . .even though I have failed wondering if I should quit or just keep moving along and pretend the FAIL didn't happen?!?!  : /

Mother to Fish

Well when you are at the pool swimming and then all of a sudden it starts pouring rain!  What are you to do. . .oh of course make faces are the camera!

We usually go to our neighborhood pool.  However sometimes we go to the country club in Shreveport where Anthony plays golf.  They have slides and diving boards and the kids (even my big kid) loves that!

We swim everyday. . .I maybe a mother to 3 fish by the end of summer!

 Caylea named this one

Five Kids Jumping Into the Pool

Carolina reading her favorite book The Lorax

They love these round seats for the pool!

These pictures were all taken June 19-27th.

LOVE THE POOL! 

Transformer's and Father's Day

Anthony's cousin Melissa meet us for lunch yesterday and brought the kids each a little present.  The girls love their stuffed animals and are actually on their computer playing the game that came with it right now.  

As soon as we got home this evening Caden and Daddy got to work on the lego transformer set.  This lego guy changes into a truck!  Pretty cool!  They had a great time putting him together and playing with him!  

I love love love traveling now!! We got home from Florida two weeks ago and then 5 days later I was on the road with the kids to Oklahoma to visit family for 9 days.  It was a crazy busy time but so fun and so great to see everyone!  It looks like I will be home for less than two weeks before we head back to Oklahoma for our last trip this summer.  One day I will learn to love the packing and unpacking that comes with the traveling but for now I will just be thankful that the trips to Oklahoma are easier because we bring home clean clothes! WOOT! :)

So on Father's Day we decided to just splash him! 

Really thought he picked to go swimming at the country club.

It was the kids first time to slide into a pool. . .and jump off of a diving board!

We had a lot of fun! 

My kids just happen to have the most amazing Dad!  

Dibble and a Spray Park

Yesterday I went to Dibble to visit my Aunt and then to Moore to visit my Grandparents.

While visiting my Aunt the kids played with my cousin's Lab.  Her name is Tessa.  

They loved playing with Tessa and even though I do not feel as though we will get another dog anytime in the near nor distant future.  Tessa almost made me want to!  She was so very great with the kids.  Oh and so very smart!  

Carolina told me "I have been waiting my whole life for a dog like this!"  

I think Caylea felt the same way! 

Caden found his Uncles work gloves and had to try them on! 

Too cute!

We spent the morning at the spray park with some very amazing friends.

My amazing sister Brandy, Me and my friend Rae.  I love these ladies! 

Micky D's in Oklahoma

 Brandy and I with our kids met my cousin Monica and her Daughter Olivia (we call her Livi) at McDonalds for dinner.  

It was so great to see them both!  I just loved our time together!  

I had to look back at pictures to see when the last time we saw them was and it was Dec. 2011.  Monica has been traveling a lot with work and with Brandy traveling and me living out of state no play dates for the pretty girls for too long!

I think we have agreed not to allow that to happen again!

After dinner and playtime we headed to the park and met my other sister Amanda and her two lovies also.  

I bribed Sam to get into the picture by telling him he didn't even have to look at me.  I didn't realize he was going to turn and face the other way. . .that also got Elijah thinking he didn't need to look at me either and Lizzie well. . .she was just not in the mood! 

This is real life folks!!

Oklahoma Birthday Time

On June 7th my kiddos got to have fudge cycles with cousins.  Oh what fun! 

My sisters were so awesome as to meet me at Mom's for dinner when we got to Oklahoma.  I am so blessed and I do not even want to imagine what I would do without my family!  

This is love!

June 8th was Katelyn's 5th Birthday party.  A party fit for a princess.  My girls loved dressing up, getting their hair done and make-up put on them.  They really did feel like little princesses!

Caylea, Katelyn and Carolina

I didn't have a good angle and the wrong lens for such a tight shot but couldn't resit look at all of these beauties

Happy 4th Birthday Sarah

Beautiful little Lizzie 

Doesn't she look like a butterfly?

Happy 3rd Birthday Lizzie

I can not believe how big they are getting.  It just does not seem possible when we moved over two years ago they were little babies! I have missed out on so much.  However I really can not complain because I have also been able to visit and be apart of so much also!
