Catching up...

Ok so it has been like a month. A lot has happened and this will be a long post with lots of pics and info. They are in no particular order, I don't have time for that! :) Anyway here goes.

Here we have Aubrey and a kid I think is Whitney, her smile doesn't look quite right. But that's okay we love her still. This is on opening day of fishing. Dan took the two older girls and left Court and I at home. While they had a good time on the "little lake" with the "little boat" they didn't have any luck catching any fish. Guess we need Tutu and Grandma here for that!

They each got a turn to control the boat.
Whitney kept going around in circles.


Oh I LOVE to watch T-ball. They are so cute! Little bobble heads running around the bases not sure what to do. At one point Whit was spinning in circles out in the out field and another kid was doing handstands. It was great. Then Whit found some flowers and started picking them. It was T-ball at it's best. Whitney is one of two girls on the team, but she doesn't seem to mind all the boys. She has so much fun running the bases and she even ran to first instead of third! (She ran to third EVERY time during practice. See improvement already!)
Aubrey is also playing baseball but I haven't gotten any pics of her yet. I plan on taking the camera tomorrow!
2,4,6,4,2,8 who do we appreciate?
yes this is the way they said it, well with mingled 4's 6's and 8's it was so cute!


Here she is getting all warmed up before the big game!



Getting ready to bat. She hit it well!


Do they come any cuter? I am having a hard time believing they do! Look at that beautiful little girl!!




Here is a random pic of Courtney. She is to stinkin cute!





Easter was a great time, Courtney is a little ham, but wouldn't stay still for a picture with all three girls together. I let the other two choose their own clothes for Easter. I think they got it mixed up with Christmas, but that is ok. They still looked beautiful!













We dyed, sparkled and shrink wrapped eggs this year. It was fun to experiment with the brown and green eggs to see what would happen to them.
Whitney coloring before dying. She took this very seriously.


This year Courtney was more for eating the eggs, than coloring them.

Everytime I see a picture of Aubrey she just seems bigger and bigger. I love this little girl.


One morning Aubrey was reading the Friend Magazine and I was looking at some parenting magazine so Courtney got down and got a magazine for herself, climbed back up into her chair and started "reading" it. She is such a ham!


She has no fear. She pushes the picnic table close enough to the bar so she can climb onto while holding the bar.



She also stands on top of the table and asks for you to hand her the bar. Once she is in place with everything she needs she jumps off the table and swings. My other two would NEVER have done this at 2. She doesn't seem to have any fear of any animals either.



For about 2 weeks she fought me everytime I wanted her to take a nap. Well finally I didn't try, I put a show on for her while I napped. This is how I found her about 20 min after I turned the show on. The little stinker!!


I also had a great mother's day. The Friday before Mothers day Aubrey's class had a Mother's Day Tea. (Apple juice was served to those of us don't drink tea) But it was so cute. Aubrey and the rest of her class had to earn the tea cups we used, (I forgot my camera and am kicking myself now!) Mine was beautiful! They are real tea cups her teacher has collected over the years and none of them are the same. They also had to earn a gift for us. Mine was a little tea lite candle and holder all wrapped up beautifully. (they earn theses by doing there work in class, turning homework in on time, etc.) Aubrey made me a wonderful placemat and worked really hard to make it a special day for me. We also got entertained by the kids doing 3 little plays. They are so CUTE and so fun! Aubrey did great! I love being a mom and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!
Aubrey has been entertaining herself at my expense lately. She will purposefully drop something in front of me, then say "oops" as she looks at me. Then she'll say "behold, the art of bending" then she will flourish her hands as she bends over double to pick up whatever it is she dropped. She thinks this is highly amusing. I told her that this was my last pregnancy so she better get it in while she can. Someday she will be the pregnant one and I'll be the one demonstrating the "art of bending"! :)

You know it sure looks like Dan got his boy with Courtney....at least the spirit of a son with all ot the sweetness of a daughter.

Behold, the art of bending! Hillarious! Sorry, not laughing, not at all... :)

I thought that your life stopped when your blogging stopped...I thought I was not missing out on anything! But...boy was I! Looks like you have been having fun and keeping busy! I love you soooo much!

You have been quite busy haven't you? Cute pictures! Austin is starting T-ball at the end of this month. I just bearly signed him up last Thursday. He is SOOO EXCITED. I am going to post some pictures of him when he starts. Can't wait to see him play. Keep the blogging going. How are you doing with your pregnancy now?

Amanda said...

In a few months, you can share this with Aubrey.. "The art of giving birth" LOL!! I love those kids of yours.

WOW! That was a lot - I don't know where to start!?! Loved the pics and stories, it's great to catch up with you guys/gals =). I think you should start dropping more things so Aubrey has more opportunities to practice her 'art'. =)
