100 Degrees in September?

This weekend we decided to take advantage of the hot weather one last time, before it gets cool out. Charles and the kids really enjoyed themselves. The water was a little too cold for me and the baby....wish we had a heater in the pool. Santa, are you listening? It was fun to see them have a good time. Lindsey is slowly inching her way down the wall, without us. I think next year she will be a little fish! Michael liked it, but especially when Dad threw him up in the air. He also was pretty content when Tyler carried him around the pool.

Tyler has decided on having a bowling party for his 11th birthday this year. I am very happy with that, less to worry about! It should be fun. Til next time.

Tyler and Dad relaxing after hitting the pool! 

Just had to show another!!!!

Lindsey's excitement of being in the pool. 

"Up in the sky" is what Lindsey calls this. 

Enjoying the pool one last time! 

Playing in the dirt and eating a popsicle is the only way to have any "real" fun! 

I go to school!

Every morning and afternoon, Lindsey wants to go to school. Yesterday was no different. She packed her "packback" with all the necessities. Blocks, crayons, dolls, and the list goes on. She gets her blanket, puts on a hat and she is ready to go. But yesterday, she decided to do something a little different....like actually start walking towards school. I thought she wanted to check the mailbox, but she kept going!!! I had to bribe her with fun and a popsicle to get her to turn back. It was so cute. Today, she can't wait....in 6 years she will be begging not to go.

Happy Anniversary to us!

Four years ago today, we were married. It seems like only yesterday. On that day, I didn't think I could love you any more, Charles. I was wrong. I love you more and more each day. I am so lucky to have you in my life. Happy Anniversary!!!

I've got alot of explaining to do!

I know, I know............as so many of you have pointed out, I am a horrible mother. I have not posted any of the highlights of the the past month. Here they are:
1. Lindsey turned 3 on July 29th. She's a big girl now! No, there are no professional photos of her, because....well, she's Lindsey. So, we went with tradition and went to 18th Street Park for photo opps. She had her Barnyard Birthday Bash on Sunday the 31st. She had a great time. The balloons decorated as pigs were the biggest hit! I still haven't sent out the thank you notes.......geez.

2. Michael is a little maniac. He is into everything he can reach or pull a chair up to. He is wild, but equally charming. With those eyelashes.....he is sure to get whatever he wants.

3. Tyler started 5th grade! What? When did this happen? Just yesterday he started Kindergarten! He is really enjoying it.

4. Last, but not least, I am expecting AGAIN. Yes, you read that right. I am due March 20th, 06. Besides feeling the early symptoms of pregnancy, I had a kidney infection and had to be taken to emergency for an IV of antibotics. I am still recouping from that. Not that I wanted to tell you all my graphic health issues, just wanted to explain my lack of communication lately. Sorry about that.

Here are a bunch of photos for you to enjoy. I couldn't decide what to post or not.....so there are alot!

Til next time:)
