Avoiding...
the blog! Not exactly sure why, except that time and patience have been a little hard to come by here! I keep wondering how I had more time last Summer but then I remember that CK wasn't doing things like climbing onto the kitchen counter and painting her own little toes while I showered or overflowing the toilet while I make pasta salad. She's been busy!!!
Some of my favorite things about Summer are that there are substantially fewer socks to wash and mate and that while my kids are most definitely outgrowing their jeans...I do not have to face this reality until a few weeks from now when the weather necessitates us digging them out from their drawers!!!
We've had a very full Summer and lots and lots of fun family time! We got to go on a nice vacation which included beach and mountains, lots of time in the car bonding (ha,ha) and a much needed opportunity to relax and visit with some of our extended family! Most of the Summer for the boys has been spent eating, asking about when they're going to eat next, what they can eat, where they're going to eat and then when I'm going to restock the eats! Now you know what I mean about those jeans...and we're not even close to puberty yet (well, not that I'm admitting to myself anyway)!!!
On a completely different note, my phone died and before it took it's last texts I uploaded all of my cell pictures. These date back to February. Here's a glimpse!!! Mostly I just want to know why the chicken only has one foot!!!

I don't even remember...
how to blog!!! So what could one family be doing that would require so many weeks without blogging! Here's a small taste:
Showering this pretty bride to be
I loved, loved, loved planning this for my sister, what a great evening!
Celebrating Mother's Day with five of THE most incredible, adorable children!!!
Enjoying family time outside in the warm Spring weather!
Attending Cooper and Finley's Spring Montessori program. Cooper had one of the lead roles, playing none other than George Harrison, but my pictures didn't turn out well at all! It was a riot to watch and made even more interesting by our Campbell Kate peeing all over the floor and her soon to be Uncle Kain's foot. This picture in the auditorium, pre pee incident will have to do!
And then there were a couple of weeks of end of school excitement not to mention I lost a week of my life birthing two kidney stones (it really does feel like stalagmites are navigating your urinary tract system and Yes, it's worse than childbirth!)! So much going on, that the camera didn't even make it out of its case! And then it was on to more wedding preparation and fun!
Girls night out for cute toes and yummy dinner! Here's Katie enjoying her pampering:
I love getting my toes done, can you tell?
I also love my mom
and my cute sister-in-law Meg
and then there's eating at Brio, I love that too!!!!
Debbie (Kain's mom), Mom, Mandy (Katie's friend from Charlotte), Katie, Me and Meg
We had to practice walking down the aisle and dressing up
and holding hands with our brother!
The big day, fun with cousins
party dresses
and time with LOVED ones!
And when I have a picture of the bride and groom together (they looked amazing!!!) I will post it. I clearly wasn't in charge of our personal camera that day because somehow they didn't make it on there together! I also didn't get any picture with my in-laws while we were all dressed up and this shot of Todd and me was taken at the end of all the festivities in between cleaning up, lassoing children and loading cars!
Our man Finley has been busy growing so he can now do this:
We went Go Kart riding, and putt putting for Father's day and he did an awesome job!
Guess who's not 4 years old and 40" tall, a sad, sad reality for this squirpy baby girl!
Thankfully, there were no size requirement for swimming lessons!
And that made us mostly happy?
We are very, very proud of our five little fish
and all that they are doing and learning!
