Cute Kids

Hot dog? What hot dog? Mo it needs some air.

Thanks.

Yuck grass!

Ya daddy!

Rambling

Ok, I'm going to ramble for a minute and I thought you would enjoy looking at the cute baby while I'm at it. I put the links back on and we will see what happens. I had to though because I realize I'm a bad mom and never have my camera and Lori being a great mom has hers. I was looking at the Sneed's blog and there are great pics of Autumn and Mo from the Walbridge festival so please check them out. Jessie Sneed is watching the girls this summer too so I'm sure my girls will show up on the Sneed blog every once in a while. Ha Ha Ha. Besides forgetting the camera for the Walbridge Festival, which was a lot of fun, I forgot the camera for the school's Fun day. Starr has a Fun Day for the kids to end the year. I went to help and boy was I tired that night. I was the class runner for Autumn's class. This includes no running more like herding the kids from one activity to another. Plus they didn't tell me this was the teacher's day off. Mrs. Miller got to sit in the class room in shade. I think they had a lot of fun. I do know 24 to 1 is out numbered (how do you teachers do it). They had a lot of cool things: rock wall, obstacle course, inflatables, dunk tank, etc. It was a long day! And yes again bad mom forgot her camera not that I would have had 2 second to take a picture. I think next year I will be more prepared and drag Pete along to take pictures. Autumn did really well at the inflatable jousting and bungee run, she got over 1/2 way up on rock wall too.

Most important of all my rambling is... and this is hard to say... I have a 4th grader for a daughter. Every year that gets harder. We are real proud of her this was a tough year with lots of changes but she made it through with flying colors as always. Now for the summer not that we will be slowing down one bit. I promise to bring along a camera once in a while. We love you all thanks for listening to my rambling. Till next time. Kari

Group Therapy

Colleen and Dan hosted the quilt group this time. Thanks!!! We almost all made it. Shawn last minute decided to get sick so she wasn't allowed near the kids. Ha Ha. I hope your better. So this is the gang: Colleen Soon to be hubby Dan.

Nicki...

and her hubby Matt, what did you do this time? Not a quilter, just a tag-a-long.

Julie, the star for the night.

The kids are tag-a-longs too. Very well behaved ones that night too. Missing is Shawn, and tag-a-longs Mike, Gabi and Mikey. Tag-a-long Pete had to work late so he is missing too.

Colleen decided Molly needed to be our taste tester of the chocolate cake. I heard this roaring laughter coming from the kitchen and when I look...

I wish I hadn't.

This is why they make kids washable. Great look Mo.

Have you had enough?

What's left of the cake.

All clean. Ready for bed lets go mom.

Spring? Maybe.

Look at my tummy! Spring might show up in Ohio. We are supposed to find our way to 75 this afternoon. It is pretty sad that tomorrow it might be in the 80s for the 2nd time in May. We are finally getting out some warm close. This one doesn't fit but it is cute.

Junior bridging ceremony

I give up Autumn is growing to fast for me to keep up. She is now a Junior Girl Scout. I was ready for the bridging to a Brownie but now she is just going to fast.

As you see it was also beat the rain bridging ceremony and it was cold but the girls had a lot of fun. I'm very proud of Autumn as always.

What a fun way to bridge, slide and all.

This is Autumn's new Junior troop 10850.

Molly didn't understand why she didn't get to go down the slide. When your a scout Mo.

Thanks a lot Papa Dick

Just an FYI dad this is your fault! The drummer has to come out in the blood. If anyone thinks she is backing oh no!!! She set up her very own trap set. Yes she set this up on her own too. I'm so in trouble.

How can you get mad when she is having so much fun.

18 month check up

For anyone I have forgotten to tell Molly had her 18 m0nth check up. She is 33 in and 21 lbs roughly I forgot to write it down, what a bad mom I am at times. This means she grew 2 inches and lost a pound (I know wrong way). She even got out of the Dr.'s office without a shot. Yeah Molly! I knew she had shot up but I thought she was eating much better too. Grandma Beth was out to visit and help Pete with my job change over. Thank you so much again. I can't believe 2 things... how much of an angel the girls were for Beth and that I didn't get the camera out once. What is wrong with me. Lori keeps bugging me about getting pictures on the blog but my problem is taking them to have pictures to put on the blog. What a slacker. For anyone that doesn't know what color wonder paper is (what Molly is playing with) it is the best invention in the world. I could kiss the inventor. Mo has the finger paint but they make markers too. You can only mark on the special paper! Not on cloths or furniture or on the kid either. It doesn't work great for older toddlers since you can color out of the lines either, but it is perfect for her now. Till next time I remember to get the camera out. By.
