Gretchen's Bridal Shower







It was a beautiful sunny day at Auntie Sue's for the shower. We liked to be out on the balcony as much as possible: catchin' air or flys or whatever Natalie girl's catchin with her tongue hangin out in the wind 24/7. It's too funny! (and cute, huh?)We even got to eat out under the umbrella table. And boy was it yummy! Chocolate dipped strawberries and everything!
Gretchen was very gracious and gave a little speech before opening presents.
Apparently the other girls didin't much appreciate Auntie Sue's new kitty but Natalie Girl was berrry interested....

Mother's Day 2010






Sonie is 35ish weeks prego! Yea! Monday I did her hair and "coaxed" her into letting me take a pic so you can see how she's doing!
I love our apple tree out back.(I'm such the photographer, huh?) I sometimes just pretend that I'm doing the dishes so that I can stand at the window!
On a Costco trip last week, Audrey really wanted to buy some chocolate covered strawberries. But I'm too cheap and we thought it would be fun to make our own. Ma and Dad had just given us some strawberries too. PERFECT! So we made them for some lucky mothers! The white "drizzle" was Audrey's idea, she's so smart!

"Ketchup" (BIG time)



One of Audrey's all time favs: frozen peas


Buggy and her wacky, cute self



One beautiful, warm, spring Sunday morning, the girls came out of their room dressed in these beautiful winter dresses!(check out Buggy's brown shoes, yellow shirt, and pink flower.) That afternoon during Jerm's Sunday siesta, he was well taken care of.


Don't ya think she needs some marshmallows? I mean: just look at those wrist roles! They're practically gone!! How could she get cuter, huh?


We went to the spring fair on a preschool field trip and surprised Granny with a caramel apple, her fav! Guess who's dorky mother forgot to bring the camera......


Can you see the excitement? She could probably sit and play with runnig water till it turns ice cold.


The entertainment value of a snot-sucker is priceless!


For FHE the other day we went to Granny and Grampa's and did yard work while they were gone. It was a fun surprise and we even found a frog, but guess whose dorky mother brought the camera with dead batteries.....(so this is the only pic.)


I took the girls to see the horse show a couple of weekends ago. We got to go see the dog show too. And guess whose dorky mom lost the camera there.......but long story short, got it back!!YEAH!




Thank goodness we found the camera cause these jewels were on it!! Beautiful even in dorky goggles.




This is one of our trips to Lowes for the Saturday project. We have a good Granny!



Another yummy FHE snack.


Natalie girl MUST win some kind of cute contest!




And these are the last of Audrey's birthday stuff. The food pic is an example of how I now SHRED the girls' food since Audrey's choking on her b-day. Next is her most georgious birthday list(which is mostly made up of things for other people in our family) and last is her birthday crown from preschool and the treat she made for her class.

Mall shots






Here are the pics I got of the girls after our Penny's visit. I don't know how to make the photos look perfect but I sure love it when you can see their personalities coming right thru the pic! (Em: I thought you could print these off if you NEED a pic of these beautys!! I am!)
