A Ball Game

Enjoying a couple treats
Maeve has gotten so big.
Bug was not going to leave that popcorn bag
Really wanting a foul ball

They rode the carousal

Nothing much stops Nealy...see Bubba in the background?

Bubba was a bit nervous, he stayed in the corner for quite a while before we got him to go down!

Finally deciding that it was safe enough to go down

Maeve's first carousal ride, Nealy and Aidan decided she needed to go on too!

We took the kids to a local minor baseball game yesterday. It was, well, not what we have become accustomed to for minor league baseball. We made it through to the 8th inning and called it a game. Aidan liked watching the "baseball guys", Nealy liked the rides and refreshments, Maeve did not like the heat!

Sleeping

Aidan seems to find the most random things to bring to bed with him...his stool?? Really??
I'm not sure how he finds room to sleep. We end up taking all this out every night after he falls asleep!

Nealy just falls asleep in the weirdest positions!

What happens when the boys are forced to watch a princess movie??? Yup...they end up napping instead!

Booboo's, Allergies, and On-the-go

My children just don't crawl the conventional way, but she can get around fast!

Oh yeah, she's trouble

Doing a little school work in the mornings.
Bubba does his own school work too!

Little backs in the tub!

Nealy and Maeve...so wish Nealy's face wasn't cut off!

It's hard to NOT have allergies around here...even Bean is miserable!

Bubba's had a hard week. He bit through his lower lip on Monday, and fell out of the van hitting his head on Tuesday. He looks much better now!

Nealy fell at the park too...scraped up her knees!

What a week! Maeve started REALLY crawling last week. After a week of chasing her all over the house, taking things out of her mouth, cleaning the floors constantly...I'm exhausted! She, on the other hand, LOVES her new skill, and finding all the little goodies her older siblings leave for her to find! Aidan had a busy week too, climbing on a trash can in his room and falling, hitting his mouth on his dresser = 3 hours and two doctors' visits. AND Jumping out of the fan, falling hitting his head on the concrete = 3 hour ER visit. This kid is slowly going to kill me! Nealy, fell at the park and scraped up her knees, but otherwise is doing well. She is counting down the days until Daddy is finished with school and camps.

And She Danced...

Nealy and her flowers

Nealy with a couple of her ballet friends.

So serious!

A little blurry, but an action shot! This was during the final bow.

Gotta love this face, she was scared to move after getting make-up on!

A little better, this was during dress rehearsal.

It was a busy day! Nealy's long awaited dance recital was Saturday morning! She was a bundle of nerves for the last few days, and we all breathed a sigh of relief when it was over! She did very well, and enjoyed herself immensely! I have video to share, but am having difficulty uploading it to blogger, I'll keep trying!

Washing the Van!

They were playing in COLD hose water

Helping wash all the cars

We've been needing some rain, so we decided the best thing to do was give the van a good washing, and it worked! It's been raining on and off for the last two days! The kids had fun playing in the water and running around. They played in a little pool, in a few different sprinklers, helped wash the van, and never needed a towel...just a couple minutes in the sun and they were good to go! Maeve and I mostly watched and took pictures. Soon enough she will be part of the pack!

Growing up...

Miss personality

She loves bath time

Maeve is not a fan of anything on her head.

They have their moments, but really do get along well.

Yes, he is 2...2 1/2 that is!

Bubba seems to be growing like a weed lately!

Just daily life stuff around here. Babies growing too fast. Aidan has been practicing his days of the week song, Nealy is still counting...all the way to one hundred! Nealy's dance recital is this Saturday, hopefully I'll be able to sneak some pictures.

It's Been a While

Taking Maeve for a "magic carpet ride"

By the fire truck

Nealy in the driver's seat

Bubba's turn

My BIG baby!

And this is how Maeve is trying to crawl... notice her feet???

Toothless grin

Maeve has the cutest laugh

Goofy kids!

Nealy got her costume for her ballet/tap recital, her class is performing to The Little Mermaid.

My camera and my computer are still feuding, and as a result I am not able to update much! Spring has really taken off, and we are busy! When the weather is nice (not raining, or too hot!), we've been spending lots of time outside. The kids and I are more than ready for Wes' school to be over!
