What I Learned This Week

1) One can go to Grandma's house in a matter of minutes. All it takes is a kitchen chair (airplane seat,) a plastic toy with rolly wheels (suitcase,) a cup for juice (drink served on flight,) and the "pilot voice" preparing you for take off. :)

2) According to Poison Control, Sunsilk Captivating Curls is not poisonous if a small amount is eaten by a two year old. Conner learned that it doesn't taste very good either. I also learned to move the hair products to an even higher location.

3) My children are fearless. These pictures were taken at the Dinosaur Museum - our Father's Day celebration.

4) Conner can jump as far as a Triceratops.

5) I can never get tired of the swings. Not with these happy faces.

I Mean, Really.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm the kind of mom that adores her kids. I think I have the greatest babies in the world...and the cutest. I never want to forget the little moments, the slobbery fingers, the curled under toes, and all of it. Here is yesterday...

Lil' Cupcakes

We're used to the military lifestyle of moving around every so often, but when our military friends move before us, it's just as difficult to say goodbye. The Robbins family left for Washington the other weekend, and we missed them right away. Just before they left, when all their belongings had been loaded and their home was empty, they stayed over at our house for their last couple days in town. Thanks so much for your amazing friendship, guys! We're looking forward to visiting you in Washington! 

Just some fun "sleepover cupcakes" for the five kids - Can you tell which one is Grace? (The bald one) Can you tell which one is Conner? (The one with spiky hair, book, and open eyes since he never sleeps.) hehe The other three are Hannah, Josh, and Sarah. :)

"Daddy's Awesome"

As most of you know, Jake is amazing at so many things. He, however, does not claim to be a great swimmer or runner. That didn't stop him from completing his first (and yes I have a feeling he'll do more in the near future) TRIATHALON! He did a great job and was happy with his time. I ran the kids around to each leg of it so we could cheer him on... and let Conner even run a few step with him. :) Way to go, Babe! You ARE awesome....like Conner loves to say.
