What??? It's Tuesday already!!!

I really try hard to post at least every other day.

I have to be honest though...it is hard! I really don't know how the "Super Bloggers" out there in the world do it!?! I guess the big part of the problem is that I spend most of my computer time reading blogs. By the time I am ready to post, SOMEONE (under the age of 5 usually) needs help.

We went camping this weekend and it has taken me a day and a half to get over it! I think I'll share some photos. Let's see where were we??


Anna is home!!

Just as I thought...she already asked if she could go back next year. :)


Her best friend came with me to pick her up. Not only was it a surprise for her, Emily also surprised Anna by cutting her hair for Locks of Love!! She is such a sweet girl!!




Rock on Joshua!! (yes that is Guitar Hero)



Grace was really getting into it!



Guess who??

It's Boo Boo!!!



Grace leading the way as usual.




Silly little Joshua!! :)

Not so little anymore. My baby will be 3 in one week!! :(




Yogi wasn't at the park this weekend. :(
He's been eating too many picnic baskets

People!!! Stop feeding the bears!!



The older girls had a tough time getting up.



Don't I have enough to deal with!! These guys wouldn't stop splashing each other!!

"But he/she/they started it!!"

It was so much fun!




Look Mrs. Sarah...I'm practicing. :)




Taking a break from the sun to do some arts and crafts.





The campfire.




The girls attempted the Choco-Milk Chug-a-lug Contest.



Washing down the milk with water. We must keep hydrated!




Joshua looks like he's going to fall asleep here.



Emily was so cute asleep on Anna's lap.




If he wasn't asleep before, he's asleep now! :)



Even in cars he gets into some strange sleeping positions. Look at poor Anna's leg having to hold him up. I keep telling her to keep her feet down. Oh well.




OK, I promise to try and get much better at posting on time.

Good Eeeeeveniiiiiiing!!!!!!

I thought I would go over what we've been up to since getting home from our trip. It took me this long to finish telling ya'll about it, so now I have to play catch up!



First of all it is too HOT!!!



Because it is so hot in Texas, the firemen come out to the camps and hose the girlscouts down. Everyday Anna told me, "Mom...I'm not going to do thaaaat!"

Good thing I brought towels anyways, because this is how I picked her up EVERYDAY!!




It's been awhile since we have seen Joshua sleeping. I just love it when he sleeps.




We got a kitty!!! It is really Joshua's kitty, he LOVES this kitty. Kitty likes to play possum every time Joshua picks her up. Poor kitty. (kitty was not harmed at any time)




This is what Joshua has to do to get "kitty."



Why do I keep saying kitty? Well we first thought she was a boy...then a girl...then a boy...and we finally figured out she is a girl!!

The kids had already named her Tad, and now thy don't know what to call her????




Swim lessons with Joshua.



THANK YOU Sarah!!!!




Swim lessons with Grace.



THANK YOU AGAIN Sarah!!!!!



Another cute pic of my baby. :)




See that little person at the top of the picture?

It's my first baby Anna. She started gymnastics again and LOVES it!!



Joshua is in the stage of invading everyone's space right now. When he does this, Grace usually kicks the fire out of him! I give her consequences because this is not OK, but then I also tell Joshua in private that he was asking for it! What to do with these two!!!



This was Anna's first room mate for church camp. This was her first time at an overnight camp that was more than one night. (it was 3 nights)

She came home and I think she wants to go back and stay. I had to bribe her to come home with me by bringing her best friend with me to pick her up! :)




The chaos of campers. Eek!! This is where I dropped my baby off on Monday!!

I'm sure glad she made it back!! J/K, I knew she would make it. :)

Disney- Day 5 (Finally!!)

Whew! I LOVE posting about all of our fun at Disney World, but I am so excited to move on about what we've been doing since then! Here are the pictures from our final day in FL. I think I took only one picture on the ride home. (I didn't post that one either) It was pretty much the same as the trip there only in reverse. :)

Crystal Palace lunch with Piglet



PLEASE DO NOT LET YOU KIDS READ THIS:

I think this wasn't a very nice Pooh. :(

Notice in this picture Anna is not there.

She had just stepped away to get her food, I tried to get her over, but Pooh wouldn't wait.
Well Anna really wanted a picture with Pooh, so I tried to get one before we left. (in-between him taking pictures with other people, I didn't want to be rude)

But he looked at us and turned and walked away!! I KNOW he saw us!! How rude! I know they can do it, take a look at what Eeyore was like...




Here is the photo without Joshua.



And here is the sweet photo he took with Joshua before we left.

Thank you sweet Eeyore!!



Moving on to more pleasant moments.

I absolutely love this picture of Anna in front of the castle! She LOVES to Hoola Hoop!



The little ones tried their best, bless their sweet selves!

Grace got a little tired.


The storm moving in over the castle.

See those guys in the middle? Especially the one in the vest! They are my favorite people in all of Disney World...The Photo Pass People!! When I grow up I want to be one!! :)




The storm didn't stop the parade though!! These two girls LOVED the parades!!



Keep trying...I don't think ANY of you are the king. :)



Fun on Cinderella's Carousel



I just LOVE the look on Sarah's in this picture!

(I can't stand the look on my face, but I left it unedited. I'm just keepin' it real for you.)



Anna and her Bunga




Finally a picture of me and my sweetie!! Thanks Mom...I knew I brought you along for something! :) Just kidding! :)




This girl ROCKED the Jungle Cruise!!! She was so funny!!!




The girls outlasted the boys...

... so we all got new "ears" and posed for a picture before we left.



This is what we did to the little princesses. :)

WORE THEM OUT!!!




More news from home tomorrow...swimming lessons, gymnastics, summer camps and more!!
