Amber's last week of Freedom

Amber is starting Kindergarten on Monday--so this is our last week to do whatever we want whenever we want. Monday we all hit a Bees game (thank goodness for Harmon's family dollar night), Tues we went to the aquirium to celebrate shark week and get some cool face paintings. In case you can't tell, Amber has a Mommy and baby seahorse, Colin got Bruce the great white shark and Bryce got Nemo. Wednesday we went swimming. Today we're going to play at Chuck E. Cheese and tomorrow we've got a playdate at the Zoo planned.

Eric's broken finger

Eric broke his pinkie finger a few weeks ago. The Dr. that saw him gave him a pinkie splint and referred him to an orthopedic surgeon. It looks like that appointment is going to happen next week. In the meantime, Eric has taken pictures with his gimp finger, we got them back today--here's a glimpse of the CD of pictures.

A Day at Lagoon

We spent the whole day at Lagoon yesterday--from opening to closing. It was some great family fun. Our kids are just a couple of Rattlesnake Rapid and Dinosaur Drop junkies (they rode each at least 4 times.) Amber and Colin both got to ride their first "real" roller coaster. Amber was just tall enough to ride a pretty exciting one, and both Amber and Colin got to ride one that was a little more docile, but very exciting for a 3 and 5 year old. Eric and I even took turns riding a couple of "Mommy and Daddy" rides. We had a blast. We hadn't even left the park yet before the kids started asking when we were coming back.

Have you had enough?

So there's an update on everyone. Looking through my pictures from the last couple of months, there's a ton more I'd share, but I don't want to overload. Let me know what you think--is this blogging thing something I should continue?

I'll leave you with a cute picture of my cute "kids."

Colin's new do

We were at the park the other day and Colin just looked so hot with his thick hair. So that night all of the males got haircuts. We already sent out pictures of our littlest guy's cut, so here's Buddy Boy's picture. Amber said he looked like he was dressing like Jesus because of the way he put his pajamas on (he put his head and arm through the arm hole and didn't want to change it--I'm just surprised it fit.)

Amber's thoughts on what a heart does

We were taking a walk the other day and Amber was running ahead of us. At one point she stopped and said "You know what I can feel? I can feel my heart beeping." Adorable.

This picture was taken at the parade at the Freedom Festival on the 4th of July. All of the princesses came by and Amber ran out on the route faster than any girl to see them all--and faster than I could grab my camera. Lucky for us all Snow White was lagging behind the rest of the princesses, so Mom was able to catch a picture of Amber and Snow White--and who's that other girl? I don't know--she ran over and jumped in the picture as I was taking it. Oh well.

Bryce's favorite pose

Here's a picture of little Brycy boy in his favorite pose. Someday he'll get his legs to work and he'll be off. But in the meantime, he's content squirming everywhere he goes--unfortuntaly alot of times that squirming gets him stuck under furniture, and although that's cute, he doesn't like it a whole lot.

Let's see how this goes

So we got high speed yesterday. It's amazingly fast, and I just know I'm going to have a hard time giving it up when the 6 month promotion is up. So I thought I'd try doing this blog while we have it to see if I can keep it updated for family and friends to grow with us.
