Here is what makes me smile!

A few days ago it was really hot so we brought out the pool and had some fun in the sun. Daisy loved playing in the water just as much as the kids. My sun-kissed bathing beauty

The girls and I went out and bought swim suits the other day. They just had to pick suits that came with skirts, of course. All the way home they begged me to take pictures of them and send the photos to a magazine. I think they could definately pass as cover girls.

a little sweet and a little Sassy

Cody was sick of his swim suit so I suited him up in some undies instead

Cody sporting what he calls his "wobble gobbles"

Too cool in his batman sunglasses

Emma had her kindergqrten shots the other day. She was so brave!! I can't believe I'm sending another baby off to school this fall. Makes me kinda sad.

Fun at the park!!

I love these kids so much. I cannot get enough of them lately. I've been extra sentimental these days. I wish they could stay little forever. I know there will come a time when I miss Cody running his cars over my feet while I'm in the kitchen cooking dinner. These little ones will be all grown up before I even know it. Madilyn has been saying the darndest things lately. the other day she hugged me and said "I like hugging you now because you are like a giant marshmellow, a quishy one" I laughed and told her that was kinda rude. She felt bad because she meant it as a compliment..... She likes my pregnant belly. She also mentioned not to long ago that she was not going to be a stay at home mom. What do I do that makes my job look so horrible?? She told me if she decides to get married she would only have one child and would drop him or her off at day care on her way to work. She really wants to be a teacher. I suggested she teach before she has kids and then maybe go back to work when they are in school, maybe she could even work at the same school. She did think about it for a minute. She makes me laugh.

Uncle Matt got Married

Ryans little brother Matt married Shanae on the 21st. Don't they look cute?? Here are some pictures. Enjoy!!

All the kids were sick. In fact I had to leave before dinner was served with madilyn because she had a fever and tummy ache. I took Cody along with me, do to his behavior issues. How embarassing!! 3 sick kids made for a long weekend but we were glad we were able to make it down for the wedding. Congrats Matt and Shanae!!

Friday Fun Day

Today at preschool was Friday Fun day. Cody and Emma got to be a "chef for a day" They made aprons and chef hats and they even got to bake some bread. This was Codys first time at preschool and from what I hear he made himself known. Apparently he had to be told no a couple of times......he folded his arms and said "I'm mad at you teacher" one time he went as far as to throw himself on the floor. (He only got mad twice) The teacher said he did really good and has excellent verbal skills. Yes, we all know Cody has Excellent over the top verbal skills. Emma told me that in the toy room cody called to get everyones attention and said "I don't like any of you" and then he said to a little girl, " I have super powers and you don't" and started doing kung- fu and jumping in circles all around the poor girl. Oh, Cody!! At the end of the day when I picked them up I complimented him on being brave and staying without me and thanked Emma for taking care of him. Cody corrected me and said " NO, I took care of 'Hemma' "

The Zoo

Last Friday Madi was out of school and we had cabin fever really bad, so I decided to be brave and take the kids to the zoo.....by myself. I had never ventured to downtown Boise and Cody is so very unpredictable but I was feeling adventurous. So we ate an early lunch and off we went. I knew it would be cold, but ya know what?? It didn't matter. That's how bad I needed to get out of the house. We ended up having a really good time. Cody had a few "moments" but it was ok because we were outside and actually there were only like 2 other people there, so whatever. He was more into chasing the canadian geese. He didn't care to much about the animals he was more worried about his spiderman guy that he insisted on bringing, but, He did like the spider monkeys. This was taken in front of where the Zebras and Giraffes were suppose to be. A lot of the exibits were empty and all the little drink carts were closed. I'm guessing they'll be back in the Spring.

Along the way we passed by a tortoise that looked a lot like Madilyn.

I spy a Praire Dog and a brown eyed girl. This was Codys favorite place. We had to come back to this one several times.

The Lions and Tigers were our favorites. What a fun day!!

Can I have Your Attention please??....

It's True. I'm pregnant...again!! I'm still trying to get used to the idea. I'm expecting excitement to set in any day now. Our new arrival is expected September 6th. We are not planning on finding out the sex and we are going to keep possible names a secret. We think this will be the last baby so we wanted to do something kinda fun. There are so few surprises in life!!

Lets See if I can Remember How to do this....

I Know it's been forever since I've updated my blog.....Sorry. Here are a few pictures from the past few days. I'll try to do better by keeping you updated.

Madilyn was so proud of her Dino Diarama
