Cousins :)

So I've been watching my nephew Barrett for a few weeks now. We really have our routine down when I have all four kids together. Heidi and Barrett are 5 months apart but now that he's gotten out of the newborn phase and is really becoming interactive the two of them have been able to play much more. Here they are exersaucing together Wed afternoon. :)

My pretty baby!

Handsome boy!

Uh oh she's got his binky!

Trying to get them both looking was super impossible

But I kept trying :)

Just looks like trouble here!

Weekend fun

This weekend we had the family over to BBQ. The sun finally came out for a little bit and it was a beautiful day. My dad just got back from Wyoming and the kids were thrilled to see him. They really missed him while he was gone and can't wait for Nana to get back too.

Bobby is 2 and a half today! He wears the same size clothing as Lilly, wears a bigger shoe size than her, and is just about an inch shorter than her. It won't be long before he passes her up! Tomorrow he's going to try going to summer school with Lilly. Wish us luck!

Uncle Jeremy and Bobby both have a love for playing with cars

Had to get a pic of my nephew Barrett sleeping in Heidi's crib. Someday we will show his girlfriend how he slept in a pink and purple crib lol!

Bobby wouldn't hold still for a picture with Auntie Kat

Auntie Kat bought Heidi some new headbands. Here she is modeling one of them!

For now I can bathe all three munchkins together. It's always a party. Gotta love this face! She loves bathtime!

Michael's Birthday

On Monday we celebrated Michael's birthday. We spent the morning relaxing at home and then went to Michael's parents to have cake. It was a nice relaxing day after our busy 4th of July. Michael also really enjoyed spending a four day weekend with us. The only negative part of the weekend was that it was FREEZING!

Singing Happy Birthday!

Silly couple

This kid LOVES to play with cars just like her brother!

A few photos of the gang

Bobby was over picture taking

Happy 4th of July!

We had a really great 4th of July. Michael and I took the kids to downtown Huntington Beach to watch the parade and walk around. Then we went to breakfast and went home to rest for a little bit. Kevin, Kat, and baby Barrett came over to BBQ with us for the afternoon. The kids got to play on the swing set, play baseball, and swim in the kiddie pool. In the evening we went to my Uncle James's house in LA where fireworks are legal and spent several hours shooting them off We all had so much fun and the kids were really exhausted. A good time was had by all!

Getting ready to bat

Lilly got into a bowl of cherries! She had a very cute 4th of July outfit but as usual had to change her outfit about 4 times before the day was over.

Heidi swinging away

Kat and I tried several attempts at getting these two to pose together. This is the best we could do.

They look a little bored here

Sort of looking...

Sometimes a kid just wants to wear an Angels shirt with no pants

Lilly told me she was Princess Buzz. She is wearing her Buzz Lightyear pajamas, wearing a tiara, and carrying her princess purse

Heidi is always so happy!

We recently moved into another 4 bedroom house just about a block over from where we lived before. Here are some pics of the kids giving me a hand packing at the old house.
