September happenings....

I know, I know, I've been terrible about blogging lately. But I have a really great excuse! We finally moved into our new house that we bought in Westminster. This past week has been utterly exhausting to say the least. Last weekend was spent moving, Lilly started first grade Wed and the soccer games started yesterday for Lilly and Bobby. Oh and we had to clean out our rental house too. Besides that, I think I will be unpacking and organizing my new house until 2015. Did I mention Bobby and Heidi start school next week too? So anyway, here are pics from the last few weeks. Forgive me, I will definitely will try and be better at blogging again.

 Lilly and Heidi share a room. One wanted pink and one wanted purple so we did both. I still need to take pics of the rooms all put together.

Bobby's favorite color is yellow so he has a yellow room. And it's really yellow.

The living room before we put all of the furniture in it.

My kitchen

I don't have pics of the master bedroom or baby's room yet. I'm getting there! We painted the inside of the house from top to bottom and aren't completely done just yet. Still need to paint more baseboards and closet doors, etc.

First day of first grade! Sept 5th, 2012

Loralee turned 17 months in the midst of all this chaos.

And she let her siblings paint her face.

One of my BFF's Caroline visited from Wisconsin

She got to spend time with her Goddaughter as well

I'm a soccer mom! Lilly is on Pink Lightening and Bobby is a Red Dragon. Lilly seems to love it although she didn't try and get the ball much during the first game. She did run around and follow her teammates though. And scored a goal in her teams own goal. Bobby was not interested at all. He mostly just stood in the middle of the field and watched. Oh well it's only the first week.

Scoring a goal for her own team!

Just standing and watching...

Would rather run and hold the ball.

Loralee's take on soccer

Love this new pic we took this weekend of them on the front porch

We had Lilly take our pic too

So hopefully I will have more house pics soon as things get put together and unpacked. We are loving our new neighborhood. We have amazing neighbors and our kids are making a bunch of new friends. I love that we can invite kids from the neighborhood over or send our brood to play at other people's houses. We really didn't have that at our other house. More pics to come soon!

August happenings...

It's too hot to type. We are doing great. Just about 3 weeks until school starts again. We've been keeping busy. Here are the latest photos. :)

 Playing with our friend Sofia at Central Park in HB

A group shot of the gang gone awry 

We bought face paint at Walmart for $3! Worth hours of entertainment

My dad took us to the Circus. It was Heidi's first trip. She passed out at the end but we all had fun. Oh and Bobby fell asleep in the beginning but woke up at the end.

We checked out the elephants before the show started

My nephew Barrett's first trip too.

The best pic of Heidi and Barrett. They sat together most of the show.

Slip and Slide time

Best buddies

End of July adventures

We are still keeping busy here this summer. I think this is the nicest weather we've had in HB during the summer in a long time. The kids are having a blast but have started to ask when school's starting again. I'm so not ready to think about that yet! 

Lately Lilly and Bobby have taken a huge interest in taking pictures with the camera. Each of them has their own camera but using my camera is way more fun for some reason. I thought it would be cute to post the pics they've taken these last few weeks.

These are all taken by Lilly
