Just a cute picture...or 2..

O dear....she's taking after Jacob... already in the refrigerator.....I find her in here often, she crawls up and sneaks in when the BOYS leave the door open...which is often... Ethan loves playing and helping to take care of Chloe...he calls her "my chloe" and he means it! LOL

Bath Time

It's the cutest thing...whenever we run the boys bath water....Chloe goes scampering over there just as quick as she can.... she pulls up on the side of the tub and just stare intently at all that FUN....she wanted in....she needed a bath... the boys were splashing so much....she was already wet....so.... yup.. we put her IN THE TUB....she sits up so well already...the boys were so quiet and just loved having her in there.... as for Pooh...well, you take a look!

She Loved it!

Starting them off early on the $tarbucks habit...it's water people...just water...but it's $tarbucks water...{ giggle }

He wanted to CLIMB in and play in all that water! Ethan.....my little man.
At the wishing well... we stop every time on our way out.... the boys love throwing our change in there!

What a ham Ethan is being! Hmm... there are probably 1000 things I could say about this picture but I will let YOU make up your own caption... {giggle }
He looks like he belongs on a tractor!
jacob is trying to make sure his brother is all buckled in....I think Brandon is watching YouTube there in the back...hehe
Chloe & I wandered into the bath store {mmm...yummy smells}... and Jacob came tagging along...he stole the saleslady heart when he started going around and "fronting" all the bottles and lining them up in rows ....heheh - that's my PEA!
Hehe...he's in the display window!
Look what we found in our coffee!!
Love the look on her face...she's so funny...what a pixie!

A Day in the Park...

One day, last week...we got out early {to beat the heat } and took the peeps to a nearby park to run and play and all that sort of stuff....they had a blast...of course...they love wide open spaces more than anything..... a few toys tossed in the field is just icing on the cake to this crew....hehe... Once again... I didn't have the camera { gonna have to get one just for the car }.... but I did manage to snap these with the phone..

Goin' back up for more..

He looks so serious here... he was actually cracking up and made this face right as I snapped the picture..

Beautiful Pooh....she LOVED the swing.. she's so tiny in it.. just for a minute.. { yes, I carry Lysol and I used it }...
