Park

 
This is such a fun park and the kids had a great time! I feel so bad for them, this summer had not been the greatest with me not feeling up to doing much but the kiddos have been so good about it!!

Summer Fun

 

Thanks to Aunt Lori the kids have discovered Lincoln Logs! They have been so occupied and it has been wonderful to have them entertained so I could get some rest!!
Brian loves these things and was right on the floor with them showing them the tricks ;)

Sweet Jayden

 

Another ultrasound today!!!
The one on my left has been head down and squished from day 1! This is the first face picture we could get of him where he wasn't pinned between a butt and membrane lol!!
I LOVE his big lips (thanks to his adorable daddy ;) ) He is weighing in at 3lbs 14oz and Justin is weighing in at 4 lbs even... yep, but they are getting BIG!!!
I've been calling them Justin and Jayden for about 2 months now and Brian hasn't told me to stop yet so I think it's a go ;) :)


Oh yea another Joey comment today:

As he is grabbing my arm...

So, mom? When you have the babies is this fatness going to shrink??

GGRRRRRRRR

Sweet Joey

My sweet Joey is a hard one to describe....This past month this is a few of the things he's come up with that I remember..

All sentences begin with:

"Wow Mom! I can't believe..."

You can still bend over!

My arms can fit around your belly still, well, just barely

You look like your holding my basketball under your shirt! ha ha ha

Seriously?!?! Like that is what I want to hear when I'm in pain?!?!?!?! Ugh..

He is SOOOOO lucky he is loved lol!!

Last Day of School!!!

 

The last day of school was INSANE to say the least! They not only just had a half day, but they had an awards assembly that lasted almost an hour ;( AND the teachers are all moving classrooms and for some reason had to have them empty ASAP so spouses were there moving boxes that the kids were packing and it was chaos all over! All the stuff had to be moved into the lunchroom so it was a mess in the hallways trying to get through and teachers in a panic, kids wanting to go home..etc etc.... wow. I didn't get all the pictures I wanted of the kids and their friends but what can I do???

As for the awards assembly... Jacob got an award for citizenship for being such a great student and friend ;) Haylee was so bummed because "Mom, I'm always a good helper and being nice and I didn't get anything!" Daddy made it up to her with a hot fudge sundae so no worries lol!! She also got a certificate for outstanding math scores ;)

JoJo on the other hand got an award for his Iowa State test... He scored 80% or better in all his subjects! He even got a 97% in science!! He is such a smarty pants and we are so lucky that he does so well in school.

We are so proud of all our kiddos and I'm loving summer already! I have yet to hear I'm bored so I think we're ok right?!?! ;)

Oh, yea.... Jacob is now a 5th grader!! Joey is in 4th, and Haylee is 2nd ;)

Water Day

 

The month of May is so busy at school! They have a theme every day for the last 2 1/2 weeks and we joined Haylee for water day. That morning I filled 100 water balloons, well, about 90 because the dumb things kept popping on me ggrrr...
anyway, the kids got to spend some quality time outside and it was fun! JJ & Jack ate about 10 otter pops each lol!

Baby Shower

 

Katie, Whitney, & Annette threw me a shower last Saturday and it was so super cute! I'm mad at myself I didn't get a picture of these sweet girls together but I'll have to edit one in ;)
It was a baseball theme and totally adorable!

The invitation said MVB - Most Valuable Babies! Twins are on deck and a double header is on the schedule!! I got some cute stuff and it makes me want to fast forward time!! I seriously cannot wait for these little guys eekkkk!!! :)

Thanks to everyone who came, and all the gifts... I seriously got spoiled ;)It was so much fun!
