Practice Makes Perfect...sometimes :)

 Maeve's been practicing getting dressed all by herself. 

 Aidan has been practicing mowing the lawn...

 He really doesn't think Daddy can do it by himself...

 He even fueled up (with bubbles) his mower!

My little Man!

A Weekend Review

My little ones...and Maeve's camera face makes another showing!

Daddy trying to give a history lesson...it was too hot to be happy about listening to him.

 They would much rather climb a tree

 The girls dancing with Daddy at the wedding reception (and Bubba running wild)

Nealy and PapPap

Wes and Cousin David (with George too!) 

 Maeve taking a rest

 Nealy with her little cousins Heidi and Kaitlyn

A rare picture of Wes and me...and baby #4

It was a very busy weekend in DC!  We drove up on Friday night, spent Saturday morning walking the mall with the kids (not really a great idea given the heat, the fact I only have flip flops with me, and being pregnant)!  Then Saturday evening we went to Wes' cousin's wedding!  It was lots of fun seeing a lot of people we hadn't seen in quite a while.  The kids had a great time, and besides the fact that I was a bit nervous with the kids (mostly Maeve) at a roof top reception...it was a fun time!

Playing at Home

 Maeve's new camera face

 She was thrilled with her new suit and hat

 The kids didn't even care that the water was straight from the hose...very chilly!

 Love Maeve's face in this one!

 She wasn't sure she wanted to get in though

 Another day, another opportunity for the pool!

 Again with the camera face!

 A nice cold treat on a hot day...

We have tried to spend as much time as we can outside.  It's hard some days when it's in the upper 90's!  Our Y pool has opened up in the afternoons now, but with a crazy Mae-Mae it's hard to take pictures there!

Car Washing

The kids helped Daddy wash the cars one afternoon.  They are such great helpers!  We do what we can to keep cool these days!

Dance Recital

All dressed and ready to go!

 Waiting backstage in her assigned seat!

A posed picture of our gumdrop

 Nealy loves to be on stage

 With one of her ballet friends

 Taking a final bow

 All the gumdrop (Primary) students

 Nealy received lots of pretty flowers

With her Daddy

Aidan was chasing the girls with a flower...priceless

 Who needs shoes?

 Again chasing his sister

Nealy had her ballet performance a couple weeks ago.  If blogger had been nicer to me, these pictures could have been up a lot sooner!  Her studio performed "CandyLand", Nealy was a gumdrop and did a wonderful job.  She truly loves to perform!  Great job Buggy!
