Happy Birthday Kortney!

June 14 - Flag Day - Aunt Kortney's 25th Birthday!

The kids made Kort a cake and sang to her over & over again. Somewhere in the celebration "Happy Birthday to you" gave way to "Who let the dogs out"...And yes, Lindsey is wearing a life jacket while devouring her birthday cupcake. I can't figure it out, but it beats forcing a screaming child into a life jacket, so I'll let it go reagardless of how odd it is!

Not much new...

What a crib full- Charlie never has a dull (or quiet) moment with his Big Brother & Big Sister around!
Krispy Kreme Playdate with the Olssons & Flynn's- It was fun getting out with other moms who also have LOTS of kids!
And last, like usual....Charlie!


I don't have much to blog about yet this week. We have a busy week or two coming up though- Kortney's birthday, the Company Picnic at Michigan's Adventure, Father's Day, another try at staying up at the cottage, & then Gigi's birthday & 60th B-day margarita party too - So we should have great pictures posted in the next two weeks. Here's hoping that all goes smoothly - as smoothly as it can with a bunch of crazy kids & a very tired MOM!

*Congratulations to the Heberts, especially Big Brother JP! Baby Susie is here & very cute (just like her mama)! Check out their blog (Peepers Creepers ---Now Peepers Creepers & Susie Q too!) for their good news!

Pool Day!

In between storms this weekend we managed to make it to the pool! Gigi helped the effort tremendously by babysitting Charlie for us. It was way too hot & muggy for a baby...Anyway, the kids loved swimming & spending time with Dad & Big Daddy at the pool.

Happy Birthday Mimi!

June 6th
It was a few days ago already, but for Mimi's (my mother-in-law) birthday we took the kids back to the Children's Museum & had a great day! Happy Birthday Mimi!

4 months old!

So Charlie is 4 months old now. Yesterday I tried to feed him a little rice cereal for the first time. It feels good to be getting more of these firsts tackled. I can't wait till he is sitting up and playing/eating Cheerios with his big brother & sister.

Poop Party Pictures-

the proud PARTY POOPER!
Mom, Dad, & the dumper-
Aunt Terri (who brought presents & Baby Ruth bars to decorate with), Gigi, & Charlie
Cody reaped the benefits of a kid with parents desperate to be finished with potty training. the bribes added up & he took in quite a haul last night!
And last, but not least - Lindsey covered in CHOCOLATE - not poop!
It was quite a party! Cody called & invited his favorite people, made chocolate cupcakes, and I put together some party pooper hats for the celebration. Maybe this is it after months & months & months of hoping. He came through this afternoon with another toilet triumph...One more and Aunt Kortney has to take him to the movies & buy popcorn!
