Got a Caption for this Pic?

Savannah, Andrew, Benjamin, Ethan

 

This is what it is like when I am trying to get one good picture… just ONE picture of every one smiling and looking at the camera.

 

There were too many funny captions, that I didn’t know where to start! Would love to hear yours!

 

Put a caption on this pic and/or tell me what you think is going on! I’ll tell you my favorites.

Activities When Bored…

Cram your children in front of the laptop, and take “photobooth” pictures with the webcam:

(me, Ben, Ethan, Andrew, Savannah)

 

These little Tasmanian devils crack me up to no end.

Good times.

Pictures from my iphone

What better way to catch you guys up on what’s been going on, than to pull out the ‘ole random pics from my iphone?

Here we go:

 

Sav’s room, finished…(well, we put a little chair in the corner). Too cute! She loves it.

 

 

The wall art I put up in the boys’ room…very cool shadow football player!

 

 

I need to take new pics of the completed room with an Aggie football helmet and words that say: “Brothers who play together, stay together” around the top of the room.

 

 

A vintage baseball scoreboard above Ethan’s bed…(it looks super pink in this pic---but its more of a cream)

 

 

Ahhh, my new Vibram Five Fingers. Love them. After wearing these to run, it will be difficult to wear tennis shoes ever again.

 

 

 

These pics are hilarious. It was the morning of the royal wedding that I had recorded. The kids actually got in bed and watched with me. (Andrew, Ethan)

 

Sav left the bedroom and came back in her “wedding veil and crown”…adorable.

 

 

She made Andrew pretend to be her “prince” all day long. I was dying laughing.

 

 

The kiddos loving their new table.

 

 

Joe’s new Tahoe (R.I.P. 1997 Ford Explorer). This pic was taken days before the suburban was stolen. Neat.

 

 

Speaking of stolen vehicles, this is the picture I sent to friends, around lunchtime, the day our unfortunate event.

 

 

Kids playing in the sprinkler in the backyard. When I think about childhood, these are my fondest memories. I LOVE getting to experience it all over again with my babies.

 

 

Going for a ride in the ‘ole choo choo wagon with our Aggie baseball caps and sun hat for Sav.

 

 

Me and the princess before church one Sunday.

 

 

 

We are at the pool ALL THE TIME, now that it is open! Here is our first day back with our pool noodles. (Best toys ever, apparently- they entertain the kids for hours!)

 

 

We literally hang at the pool all day long. I love it- because I pack tons of fresh fruit and veggies for snacks!

 

 

Such a nerd, Sav said: “Hey Ma, take a picture of me like this”… I guess she was channeling her inner Bugs Bunny and thought she was hilarious… Hmm, reminds me of someone else who lives in our house…

 

Andrew and Ethan catchin’ some rays.

 

Benny boy…watch out for that sticker, bud.

 

Ethan

 

Drew

 

Another instance where Sav shouted, “hey Ma! Take a picture of me!”

 

 

 

Thanking Casey for the awesome book she made me for my bday!

 

Sav was being really quiet upstairs while her brothers played outside, one day after school… I went upstairs to find her like this.

 

 

Joe and I on the plane, headed to sunny California and the Macs!

 

 

Still in the process of looking for a replacement burb… I had to drive myself and the kids to Waco in the Tahoe. Wow. Tight fit.

 

 

Since 2 of our peapods were in the burb, we tried out our napmats from school, while at Papa and Granna’s house. (yes, I turned on the lights at 11pm to take this pic and no one moved a muscle). Apparently the napmats didn’t work out so well the next day, because the kids were up and awake at 4am!!! Ugh.

 

 

Driving back from Waco…Ethan and Andrew in the same pose. Unfortunately, this is what I look like when I fall asleep. So graceful…a sleeping beauty, if you will.

 

 

 

Memorial Day- after a full morning/afternoon of swimming (riding in our new/used burb!). Drew- left, Ethan- right.

 

 

A normal trip to Target. Poor Ben- he’s such a good sport in the drowning bags. (and yes, we use reusable bags- but did not have them with us)

 

 

The dudes in their new $8 trunks from The Children’s Place. Ethan, Ben, Drew

 

 

Pheww…that’s it! Been busy. Loving life right now. Will try to stay up on my blogging!

Happy Summer everyone!

God definitely works through bad situations to bring some good... you just have to keep your heart and your eyes open to realize it.

 

They never found our stolen burb (booooo!) … so insurance deemed our car a “total loss” and cut us a check. It was well above what we had anticipated which was a HUGE blessing!

 

After weeks and weeks of searching car after car… we stumbled upon an amazing deal! (On craigslist, no less! Can you believe it?!) We jumped on it immediately and less than 24 hrs later, we were the proud new owners of this 2008 Chevy Suburban!

 

 

The kids LOVE it and I am beyond thrilled that for the first time ever, their carseats fit PERFECTLY and are SO tight in this burb!

 

 

I am also super excited that there is plenty of room to fit cousin Carter in here!!! We plan on helping out a LOT when cousin #2- Sawyer, is here.

 

There seems to be more room in this burb…which is awesome. We just need every inch of cargo room that a suburban can offer (as you can imagine).

 

Praising God today for working through a poopy situation.

 

(Our kids still pray for the “bad man whole stole our car and Rescuers DVD”)

 

Oh- and I’m keeping my wallet out of my car, & keeping the car IN THE GARAGE!
