Various pics that I forgot to post...hehehe

OK, so I forgot to post a couple pictures...they slipped right on
past me amongst a ton of other pictures.
The one above is from Ella's school when they started
the kindergarten garden.  The kids all got to help plant the seed and
seedlings and also got to watch it all grow!  Once they go back in the fall they'll get to
see if again and start to tend to the garden each day!

Gosh, I think this picture was back from before mother's day!
Just hanging out in the front yard playing the harmonica with daddy!

Of course the bathtub pics
had to be posted!
Couldn't forget those!

Sweet Ella Bear at Emma's birthday!

This boy can climb!!!  Every time we are at a park or
somewhere there is a climbing structure, people are so surprised
when he climbs all over the place with great confidence! 

My baby boy is growing up!!!

He went through a phase of saying, "Not togin (again)" in
a long drawn out, whinny way when I ask him to do something.
Had to nip that one in the bud real quick!

He loves hitting the ball with his bat and loves to play catch!

He says, "flip flop paddywalk" when he wants to wear his flip flops.

He told us, "I want to sleep on the moon"

He has gotten so much more comfortable in the water this summer!
He used to freak out when I poured water over his head in the bath tub
to wash his hair.  Now he just leans forward  and let's it run down his face.
In the pool, he jumps and will go under water for a brief second which is more than
he would do at the beginning of the summer.

My bubba bear

boy these are rare but I sneak them in here and there...lol

hanging at Uncle Jesse and Uncle Shawn's for the first time in the pool!

The first week of summer, we went to the beach in Galveston
with Kristin and Devin and all the kiddos!

Ella, Parker, Ava, Aidan, Oliver and baby Vincent

love them!

This was one of the first times of the summer hanging outside in the
kiddie pool.  They had a blast and played for a couple hours!

Ella Bear wearing momma's sunglasses...actually these
are grandma's from 1972!

Ella has been writing a lot of letters and can recognize them too!

She can now swim without her floaties keeping her head above
water across the pool and under water as well.  So proud!!!

She likes to hold Parker's hand when he is sleeping!

She loves to paint and could do it for hours!  I'll have to remember this
for birthday and Christmas!
