Team Suits

We picked up the kids team suits this afternoon - Love them. :) They love them also! Rachel was so funny. I had explained that the swim caps might not be very comfortable at first, but that she would probably get used to it pretty quickly. Once she had it on, she was like, it's fine Mom! No problems! That's my girl!

Green Meadow Swimmers - First Practice

The kids had their first swim practice for the Green Meadow Swim Team on Memorial Day. They were so excited to get started! They both did great and at the end of practice they both told me they had so much fun! I love hearing that. It's great excercise for them and if they are having a lot of fun, then that makes it all that much better. I know I loved watching them swim. I wanted to dive right in there with them! Love, love this!

Our New Ride

Mama's got a new ride. :) Our Explorer got totaled the night of the hail storm. It was believed that it could be fixed, but they couldn't get their equipment in the right area to fix it. So - Window shopping we went. After a day of looking and comparing and trying to figure out what we were going to do- (we very seriously considered a Passat Wagon) - we chanced upon this Toyota 4Runner and I fell in love. Love how it looks and how it feels. It's different from the Explorer - different turning radius, it sits higher and it's bigger. Definitely bigger. I have to be careful putting her in the garage. (Yes, this one is a her, not sure why, but it's a her) lol. I love the color - Blizzard Pearl (it's shimmery). The morning we were to go and purchase the new truck, I went and cleared out my Explorer. Kind of silly, but it was sentimental for me. It was a good truck. I loved that thing.... and I hope I love the 4Runner just as much! :)

Love This One....

Car Wash

Kate has always been afraid of the car wash. Here lately, when ever we would drive by, she would scream out "Car Wash, Car Wash!!!". Today with the other kids laughing she actually smiled and laughed as we drove through. I'm glad she isn't afraid anymore. That last shot is one of my favorite kind of shots to capture. My three babies in my rear-view. They're always with me. Love that. :)

"That Jumpy Thing"

The kids were so excited to finally get to go on "that jumpy thing". Rachel has been saving her money from losing her teeth and doing odd jobs for me to earn a dollar here and there. Noah had a few dollars saved up also and wanted to do it also. I thought it was so cute that Rachel knew exactly what she wanted to spend her money on. They both loved every single minute of it!

Noah's Soccer Party

We had Noah's end of the season soccer party on Saturday. He was so excited to recieve his trophy. I am so, so proud of him and his team this season. They all played so well and really learned to play as a team. Each of the boys really came to learn their part of the game, the position they excelled at - They really worked hard and came together. Noah played forward for most of the season and he has improved so much! He is loving soccer more than ever and I am proud to watch him play. He also really enjoyed playing beside one of his best friends - Riley during this season. I am sad to see the season end. Great job Eagles!!!

Night With Noah

Noah got us all to himself tonight - the girls stayed over at Mom's house since Noah had had a sleep over the night before. I think he enjoyed being an only child for the night. We all snuggled on the couch and watched Yogi Bear together. Good times. :) Love that kid.

Pancake Faces & Peek-A-Boo

My silly girls... Noah had spent the night at a friends house for an "End of the School Year" sleepover. Kate was busy playing peek a boo while Rachel was playing with her food. :)
