the show goes on.....

 charlie, 6 years old
 Sam, 4 years old.  That is ninja war paint NOT eye black, in case you are wondering....
 whitmore, 3 years old.... going on 10.

 who teaches boys to always look serious in pictures.  Boys, it is OKAY to smile.  seriously!!!

 that would be my headband around his waist.  yes!!!!


 street fun.








nice little sunday.  Happy Monday to you!!!

where were we?

 or where have we been.... EVErYwHErE!!!!  shark parties, panning for "real" shark teeth...super cool.







 we have gotten haircuts.... usually better the second week after a little growth..... there is such a fine line of a "good" haircut for boys....
 we celebrated our daddyc's birthday.... He LOVES his birthday and we love cake so it works out!!!
 the "kids" table at our mimi's house has dropped to 4... LOOK OUT!!! the TWO BIG 6 year olds are moving on up....

 we have been enjoying our local zoo.... Enjoying lots of parks and popsicles....
 the picture above does not look good, does it?  I can almost put money that it most likely wasn't a "kind" gesture....
we have been to "pirate" parties, with the coolest balloon maker EVER..... 





 Happy birthday to the Falkner boys!!!  How cute is frank's hat?



 we have traveled with ones we love the most on a very last minute trip after noticing we had a "by" week in baseball... woo hooo!  we took full advantage.








 we brought panama jack. aka. daddyc-  only kidding, we kinda like the old man hat, wink wink.








 a future wrecking crew.... 
 we did lots of nightly playground adventures.... the boys LOVE LOVE LOVE playing hide n go seek on this playground at night?
 they also think its pretty cool to "belly up" the the bar with the local bar goers and get waters when needed.....






 we LOVE our boys a wee amount......
 ALTHOUGH, as an "on looker" one may think other wise as it appears to me daddyc gave the oldest a swift kick into the pool......  I can promise this is "fun" as they tell me.... Seems like torture and abuse to me.....


 then moving right along.... Our biggest baby was in the church musical... he had a speaking part and NAILED it.... we were so proud of him as you can imagine....

 other little monkeys can't wait to share the stage when they get a couple years under their own belts.
 we stayed in our seats row and worked on being boys instead of animals and keeping our shoes ON for MOST of the time.  success!!


 that is my biggest' running mate speaking too.  look out! Nothing like some moral support on the mic.


 we have been on many a walks and runs and the black dog is thankful for wonderful trails right outside our door.
 we are mostly thankful for WATER and wonderful neighbors who bring much joy to us everyday!!!

 hello, NO shirts, NO shoes..... Life is good.
we spend a lot of our time at ball fields.... This is our Last year where us mamas can kinda place our boys on same teams.... And i will say, i'm sad... for many reasons.  The main reason being our Cici, this middle angel's grandmother, one of our biggest fans spoils us ROTTEN each and every game.... treats, waters, keeping us safe from parking lots....etc. etc.  I'm not so sure they don't think Cici is THEIR grandmother too.   
hopefully i will update the ole' blog in less than a months time but can't promise anything.   We have been blessed beyond belief recently or FOREVER really but really picking up and thanking God more than ever for all we have and have been given and what is to come.  We are overcome with happiness in our little family of 5 and just seeming to enjoy the phase of life we are in.
