pool kids


i put him down, went to get something, and here he was.
he's so cute
she's so pretty
his preschool graduation certificate
kindergarten graduation
he's swimming already
he has a strange obsession with laundry

audrey and her goggles
sharing breakfast snack

we're been busy

wow. it's been a little bit since i last blogged and so much as happened! we had sammy's 3rd birthday party in april, jack's preschool graduation, audrey's kindergarten graduation, richard being more adorable than ever, and jimmy's starting to crawl and sitting on his own! it's been a busy couple of months!

sammy's birthday was a superhero party. he wanted an ironman one, but we couldn't find all the stuff we needed so we made it a general superhero one. the kids made personalized capes and then jacob put them through superhero boot camp. they did workout stuff- jumping jacks, stretches, running- 8 little kids in superhero capes and masks:) it was a pretty fun party:)

watching some parts of ironman
i think they were stretching

audrey's REALLY into it:)
by request, an ironman cake. and yes, i did make it


richard and jimmy have become inseparable. if jimmy's is awake, richard is glued to his side and he doesn't mind if jimmy pulls his hair, crawls on top of him, or drools all over him. richard just loves jimmy and jimmy loves his big brother. jimmy's also sitting and crawling now. the other day, he tried to climb up the stairs. richard sat a couple steps above him, encouraging him:)


richard loves to share his toys
he's showing jimmy what to do
everytime he plays with mr. potatohead, he does this
richard decided that jimmy needed sock during his nap. 
now that jimmy can sit on his own, he doesn't sit in the bath. he throws himself forward onto his tummy and swims. 
he's always happy!!

he's so stinkin' cute!
audrey and jack both had amazing school years. audrey had her graduation yesterday and jack had his last tuesday. they're both excited for school next year and audrey's very disappointed that she has to suffer through summer vacation. seriously, she loves school. she also discovered instagram on the ipad :) see photos below



he is his father's son- nuts for star wars
he LOVES uncle richard

he made a mario level out of legos. each board color was a different level
we bought lincoln logs and the kids played with the box. she's a caterpillar. 
she's wind girl with the power to read.
