Fun PIcs

Mohawks never go out of style... :)

A couple of weeks ago the 2nd year counseling students had a cookout for the 1st year counseling students. Here was Jocelyn watching Jayden play baseball in the backyard. She wanted to be out there with him so badly but she had to stay inside the porch since she already had a bath and she would undoubtedly get filthy. While Jocelyn is dreaming of baseball in the grass, Gabbie contently chills in a lawn chair eating her shoe...

Our four kiddos ("our" meaning our household :) surrounding poor little Henry (one of Shane's classmates son). Gabbie is rather forcibly trying to share her cup with him!

One of my college roommates coaches a women's pro softball team and they recently played a tournament down here in Orlando. We took the girls to "watch" one of their games (we def weren't able to watch much of anything besides the girls :). Gabbie was obsessed with the dirt. The entire time we were there, she persistently was picking up handfuls of dirt and gently placing it in the hood of her car as well as the seat. The pics show the progression....hilarious...

I think she was determined to bury the car...

While Gabbie was digging to the middle of the earth, Jocelyn was obsessed with the "baaaaaaaw...baaaaaaaw...baaaaaaaaw"...that is how she says ball these days and and she says it over and over and over....

The girls are together ALOT...ok, really ALL the time. And they definitely get on each others' nerves about every 30 minutes. ( some days, it's more like every 30 seconds!) One of the reasons they get in so many fights is because they insist on playing in a 1 foot by 1 foot area of space no matter where they are at. On this particular day they were getting along quite nicely. I thought I'd snap a few pics so I could have proof for myself that they actually don't fight ALL the time :)

They love sitting inside this tiny playhouse/slide thingy together. It's very cute. Jocelyn was trying to get Gabbie to eat her bottle top. Nice.

See what I mean by the 1 foot by 1 foot playing area???

This is a picture of Jocelyn's shoes. She has a few different pairs and they all look just like these..massive holes in the toes. Why? Because she likes to drag her feet when we take them walking in their cars. We have tried everything to get her to stop, but nothing seems to work. When we don't put shoes on her, she drags her bare feet and scraps up her toes. She just doesn't care :). So, I've succumbed to the fact that all her shoes are just going to look like trash right now. Oh, well!

On Tuesdays, me and Amy take the kids to a playgroup with some other moms from our church. This week we went to Monkey Joe's. They had all kind of bouncy thingys, slides, games, etc. The girls LOVED it!!

They played so hard. When the two hours were up, they were completely worn out (nap time!!! yay!!)

Playing games.... :)

Gabbie....he is WAY too old for you!!

On Wednesdays, the seminary has "community lunch" where they provide food for the the students and they all eat together. I've been taking the girls up there so they can have some time with daddy. They love hanging out with daddy and sitting in the "big people" chairs.
