Summer Days!

Ok so lets just say life in not fair!!!! I was busy upstairs doing moms jobs while Aubrey was busy doing what Aubrey does best in the late afternoons! Yep that is my pile of laundry and that is her sleeping away the day on the family room floor!!! I wish I had her life! The other picture is just of my cute kids, Spencer always with his shirt off, Ryan always with a soccer jersey on, Aubrey with her ballet outfit and Emily just hanging out. Yep that is what the foursome looks like most days!!!!

Swimming!

Swim lesson this year were at the new club we joined, the Life Center. Loved the lessons and the kids did to. They all learned a lot and Ryan and Aubrey loved being in the same class, although they are still on different swimming levels they loved it. Spencer was in a great class that taught stroke techniques and he became a much better swimmer in a short amount of time. Emily sat on the sidelines and was a good happy girl watching everything.

Got some catching up to do!

Aubrey performed in her first dance concert as a sugar cube in Beauty and the Beast. Yep on her head is a halo of sparkly sugar cubes!!! Her and her best bud Reagan did a great job and oh boy was it funny!! They had boxes that they dance in and around and it was fun to watch and made me happy for a little girl.

Fun Run, Memorial Day weekend fun!

Well now that it is really Summer around here, I mean HOT! I should give a small run down of the final days and weeks of school. ( I miss them already)

Spencer had his Fun Run and did really well, last year he played in the sprinklers, this year he actually ran it. The pictures are before and after. Ryan also wanted to join in on the fun and he actually came in about 5th for the Kindergarden group, keep in mind he is just going into Kindergarden so he got a head start! Ryan graduated from preschool and will miss all of his friends there and especially teacher Pat. Memorial day was spend hanging out at home while dad went to work for a little bit then off to the swimming pool! It was not the warmest day of the year but they keep the water warm so it was alright. Emily loved her first chance to be in the water. We also spent sometime riding the new family toy! Luckily we have a nice open lot next to the house and we can practice there! Emily crashed in her stroller while we spend a nice afternoon doing yard work and slept right through the lawn mower!!! We are all excited to start summer, I think. We have a lot going on and I will keep you all posted!!!

Spencer

Spencer is enjoying the world around him. This morning I woke up to this beautiful arrangement made by him for breakfast!!! He loves to cook. The other pictures are of him with Clayton Productions. He is really enjoying performing and as we all know loves being the center of attention. I love my Spencer, he may be complicated at times, but when you see this face in the morning so excited about everything you just got to love him.

Girls day out!

The boys went fishing so the girls went out!!! Wondering what to do with the girls on a beautiful Sat. in May!!! What better than an entire garbage sack full of bread, and a duck! (or a fifty ducks)!

Wheeler Farm is always a great place to go and not spend money but enjoy the great outdoors. The girls and I packed up the car and headed out. Aubrey loved running free without her brothers to hold her back and tell her what to do. She also loved sharing her LARGE bag of bread with everyone! I do not think there was a hungry duck at the whole farm. We paused for a few pictures. When telling Aubrey to look at the camera and smile the tilted head and eyes closed is what I get every time! We loved spending time together and Emily loved the ducks and the animals. I just have to be careful because the sunscreen was left at home and she has read hair and WHITE skin.. I have since gone and gotten her some strong sunscreen. Here's to summer! As far as the boys fishing trip, of course there was no real camera and I have not seen dads phone yet so I have no idea if there are pictures of the first fishing day of the year. They did however have a great time and caught about 9 fish and we enjoyed them for Sunday dinner. Bring home the bacon boys!!!

It's been a while.....

So this is going to be a long post sorry.... Where has the time gone, finally I am looking outside at a beautiful spring day! We have been staying busy with soccer, dance and singing at this house. However I have no pictures to post of those activities, because I either forget the camera or I am home taking care of the others while dad takes the kiddos around! Spencer is really looking forward to the end of school! He did really well this year in school and loves his teacher. I do not have any pictures of him around because he is gone most of the day. I think I need to get better at the picture thing!!!! Ryan has really done well in preschool this year and he is always telling me how he got to help the teacher! He is really ready for kindergarten! He is a good big brother and he is by far Emily's favorite. He helps me most of the time with her. He loves to play his soccer and last night scored 11 goals- so he says! I was not there to witness it because of this lovely cold weather! Aubrey is ready to go to preschool!!!! She loves her dance class and will be performing at the end of June. If you were to come over to the house at anytime of day you would find her dressed in either or all of the above.... swimming suit, tights ballet clothes or just a tank top and underwear!!!! It is a battle that is sometimes not worth fighting! The picture is her ready to go play in the rain!!? Emily has been changing the most!!! Wow what a little intervention with the doctors can do! Emily got her tubes in and her adenoids out! She can breath and hear in one small operation! She no long has a wet shirt, and she does not snort! She starting crawling everywhere this month and loves to come find me! However I have to make sure to vacuum everyday because along the way she always finds something to go into her mouth! She loves to laugh and play. She eats everything except baby food! We all love her so much and I love watching her change from day to day. She is as big as all of her friends that are months older than her, but she can also do just as much as them. Nothing seems to slow her down. The random pictures are Emily with her hair in a pony!!!! Yep she has enough to put up there!!!! And it is still red! Eating a nutragrain bar! The one of Ryan and Emily I think proves that they do look alike! (that would mean a little mansell is in there somewhere)! We took a quick picture of the grandkids for grandma Dallas. The age difference between Mollie and Emily is only 5 months! Aubrey dressed like a lion! She was in a play that the young men and women did for the stake, she represented the lions in the lion den!! She loved it!
