Day of Fun

Nice family pic huh? Mom is choking Jonathon.... actually she is trying to turn his head to face the camera! He was doing everything he could to get out of the pictures!

Can anyone smile at the same time?

Really?

(Through Celeste's eyes)

Today, our family went to check out the new Wildlife Zoo & Aquarium. There were soo many animals! The kids had a blast looking at all the different animals. Before looking at the pictures, let me just tell you it took us a long time to get one good family picture....but we got one! Enjoy the pictures!

Addison is completely oblivious to the crazy family she became a part of!

Thanks Jen for help with captions....now if I could only figure out how to edit the others without deleting.

Time flying by

End of Flag football season. 3rd place!

(Our friend Ni took this picture of Addison, and I love it)

What is it with girls and these silly lips

( Celeste with the camera and her mirror twin!)

I was reminded today that I never update me blog! I try, but how can I do that when I rarely do the laundry!! Plus, my wonderful daughter, also decided to let me know that Clayton and Jonathon have more pictures on this than she does so I will have to just submit a picture for every gray hair she has given me.

Tax season is almost over...thank goodness. I know Russ is busy during this time and I hate that he has to work so many hours. However, how can I not feel sorry for myself during this time! I'm selfish, I can't wait for it to end! I feel like during this time I have a decent understanding of what a single mom goes through! I feel like I have 100% more work and half the time to do it. Woe is me.

Moving on...Celeste is still an amazing teenager! Not giving me an ounce of trouble. (HAHA!) Loving junior high. Loves her dance class too! Although we are not allowed to watch her EVER. We are going to have to hide in the audience for her recital.

Clayton is in his first season of kid pitch baseball. We think he will be pitching his first game on Friday. I may have to cover my eyes, and not sit with Russ! The games are nerveracking. What am I going to do when he is 16?

Jonathon is still in speech therapy, I think he is doing so much better! He is such a trooper getting drug all over the place taking kids to school, to practices, or just staying out of the way so I can take care of Addison. He is a pretty sweet kid although, has a mischevious side. Mother's guilt usually plagues me at the end of the day when I realize I didn't give him any one on one time. I need to do better!

Addison is starting to crawl. She is finding all kinds of goodies on the floor. The other day, she found a nice pumpkin seed in the carpet. NICE! She sleeps through the night... which is more than I can say for the 4 year old mentioned above!

Please don't proof read this, just be happy it's posted!
