You are truly precious!

Happy 6th Birthday Little Buddy! WE LOVE YOU!

Even though you are 11, you will always be MY BABY!
Seth loves it when it is his birthday because...
IT...
IS...
ALL ABOUT HIM!! Happy 11th Birthday Buddy! WE LOVE YOU!!

I love SPRING!

Happy, happy, happy to be poolside!
Filling the bird house is such great fun!
Jack-Jack, of course, has to have his own pool!
This kid is CRAZY!
It's Raining, It's Raining!

FINALLY FUN IN THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!

One of Eli's favorite things to say, "Hey"!

Eli loves to do tricks on the trampoline. Brooke and Eli can either get along REALLY well, or fight. There is no inbetween!
Mr. Handsome ready to jump in the pool!
Playing in the sprinkler is sure fun! Wow, this water is COLD!

2007 TROPHIES THUS FAR...

Seth with all his trophies! He is holding up his first trophy, which was for the most beautiful baby in 1996 and his most recent trophy, which was for his bowling league placing in second! Congratulations Seth! Seth will be 11 tomorrow! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! :*(
Eli proudly displaying his trophies for wrestling for the year!
He is holding his two favorites. One for taking 4th at regionals and one for most improved novice wrestler! Congratulations little buddy!
Seth posing with his well earned trophies! He is so darn cute! He cannot wait to earn another baseball trophy this season. He is also going to go to the Pepsi Tournament for bowling! He is quite the bowler and will hopefully place in the Pepsi Tournament. GOOD LUCK SETH!
THE FOUR AMIGOS!

My BABY is ALMOST 4!

Some cute pics on a warm spring day!

What a perfect creation!
Jack-Jack our loyal dog!
Izaac being cute again! He loves his frog hat! Isn't it funny? He calls it his elephant hat!
Like father, like son!
TREE HUGGER! HA!

Is Spring Finally Here?????????????

This is what happens when Eli goes in to "help" Izaac take a bath! What a mess! Those two together are T-R-O-U-B-L-E!!!!!!!!
Eli is very happy to finally get to bounce his basketball outside and I am finally happy to have it bouncing OUTSIDE instead of INSIDE!!!!!!!!! As you can see in the background, Izaac and Jack-Jack had lots of fun in the big puddle.
Brooke is just growing up too darn fast!
Seth couldn't wait to get his baseball and mitt out and play a little catch! He is so excited for baseball to start!
Of course, all of them wanted to be in the tree! Pray that someone doesn't break something falling out of the tree this summer!

CONGRATULATIONS ELI !!!!!!!!!!!

IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN SEEING A TOOTHLESS 5 YEAR OLD SO PROUD OF HIMSELF??? CONGRATULATIONS, BUDDY! YOU WORKED HARD AND YOU DESEARVE TO QUALIFY FOR THE STATE FINALS! I LOVE YOU!

WITH A LITTLE DETERMINATION AND MOTIVATION, YOU DID IT!
AND HERE'S THE PROOF! HA! (I TAKE A PICTURE OF EVERYTHING, DON'T I?)
You always share your win with your siblings! Seth (We had to run to bowling, so he is missing in this pic), Brooke, and Izaac are also to be commended for giving up a lot of their time for your wrestling and behaving themselves so wonderfully! Thank you kiddos! I love all of you!
AND thank you for always being a good sport...... always........ rather you won or lost! I am proud of you! Good luck at the State Tournaments... to be continued.......

ELI QUALIFIES FOR STATE FINALS!!!!!

Gotcha!
This is just too darn cute! Eli being modest again! Think the guy raised his hand too high? HA!
Just look at all those 5-6 year olds! Jeez! Eli is of course following directions to a tee...... they said stand on the wall and he is doing just so.... what a good boy!
This win was extra great because the kid he beat said to him in the staging area, "I wrestled you before and I won!"
As you can see, Eli did not care for his comment!
