Killin' time....

We did alot of swimming over the summer.  We went to the city pool three times a week there for awhile.  Alex was finally tall enough to go on the slides this year!  That's all she would do, up and down, up and down the stairs.  Considering we were there for about 2 hours a day, she got a pretty good workout :)

Jake would just wander around for the most part.  He takes after his mother, he's a people watcher.  I would turn around and there he would be, just staring away at the ridiculous dressed all around us. 

I LOVE my liitle Jakey in his goggles! HA!

The first time I went to the pool I figured we wouldn't last long with little Miss here.  I was pretty much just humoring the older two.  Come to find out she loved it the most! 

We had the pleasure of having some one on one with Kate and Miss Mill for a few days at my moms.  Let's just say they LOVE LOVE Aunt Kate.  Who wouldn't right?

Thanks Auntie Erinn!

My sister in law sent this ADORABLE hat to Charlie!  I'm in love with it!  Charlie wasn't so much into taking pictures but I thought the hat made the picture :) 

Summer happenings..

We eat a truck load of spaghetti around our house, especially in the summer.  It doesn't require much and it's really fast and easy.  I have a "spaghetti" picture of all of the kids and here is Charlie's debut!

This is Charlie's signature look these days!

We went to the splash park last week. It was really nice weather, not too hot, not too cool.  Perfect. 

We went to the Diamond Backs vs St. Louis Cardinals baseball game.  Cam is from St. Louis so we try and make it a tradition to go.  I think the kids are more into the food and atmosphere, but me and Cam really enjoy us some baseball! We left Charlie home with a friend and it was enjoyable not to be chasing a 1 yr old around the VERY steep stairs. 

Memorial Day 2010

We headed to St. George for Memorial Day weekend.  Cameron got in some much needed golf and my mom, sister and I were busy sewing for the upcoming wedding.  In between we had many a BBQ's and fun in the pool. 

This is my cousins little guy Conn, isn't he SO cute!! Charlie and him were hilarious together, they are only a couple months apart.

I know this picture is blurry, but Jake was SO funny looking in his goggles!!!  He had to do a little dance before every jump!

We got together with the cousins and had a blast!

Char was a little shy around the water for some reason, don't know why, she LOVES bath time.  She was content on just wandering around.....

My new sister-in-law Meagan and sister Cris

I made these two Bro and Sis take a picture together!

Jake would just lounge like this forever!  It was quite hilarious!

My brother and his fiance.  They are getting married in July and we can't wait!  We love Meagan, maybe even just a little more than Mat ;)

Preschool Graduation 2010

Jake loved going to preschool this year and is looking forward to go back this next year.  He learned SO SO much!  At the beginning of the year he couldn't write his name and recognize letters and now he has got both in the bag!  Even though Jake is super silly sometimes and it might be a distraction, he has come a long way and is learning fast!  Congrats Jakey!!!

The party was late so Alex was my date and Charlie stayed home with daddy.

Walking to get his certificate.

We love Jake's preschool teacher!  She was so patient with Jake and helped him be the best he could be!

Behind....

It was a great Mother's Day this year!  I always get spoiled and never lift a finger!  Thanks to my wonderful husband and chicklets.  I don't have many pictures of me and the kids because I'm usually the one behind the camera, but this is one request I demanded.  We had a smiley face and silly face picture.

Alex is a little shy when it comes to silly....

But not my Jakey.....he was born silly!!

I think Charlie's smile was by default.  She really was screaming.

Can't ask for perfection, but I love it anyways!

Alex had spirit week a few weeks ago and I got 3 pictures out of four.  First, crazy hair day. Second, sports day, which by the way GO SUNS!!!  Third was Hawaiin day, picture her in a pretty dress and some flowers around her neck.  Fourth was twin day in which her and her friend Bailey, who happened to have the same shirt, wore together.

Cameron and Jake went to the annual Father's and Son's campout.  Jake's favorite thing to do was to throw things in the fire. I'm guessing that's why mom's aren't invited.

Cameron said he couldn't wait to go to sleep!

He has alot of buddies in our ward, they apparently spent most of their time on these rocks.

Jake and his buddy Jack.

Dirt angel anyone?

Boys will be boys.....

My little Alex graduated from Kindergarten!!!  Where oh where does the time go.  I feel like I was just in the car bawling on my way home from taking her to her first day.  Thank goodness for her AWESOME teacher looping up with her next year.  No worries or stresses when school starts up again! 

They had a little program where the kids sang songs they learned throughout the year.  It was SO cute! 

Alex and Mrs. Connelly

Charlie enjoying the music!

Alex and Bailey are the greatest of friends!  I'm glad that they had eachother this year to fall back on.  Never a fight or quarrel with these two.  Alex is very excited to be in her class again for 1st grade.

Mister Jake had his last day of preschool, they had BLUE frosted cupcakes, can ya tell?  It took a good couple of hours for that stuff to fade away.  His graduation isn't until this coming week, stay tuned for photos.
