School has started!

Daddy and Mary played in Mary's pillow pile!

The boys posing for their first day of school with their little sister! YEAH!! I can't believe how quickly this summer flew by!

Katie turned 2 months old on Sunday. We tried to capture a picture with her hair. If you look real close, you can see the peach fuzz on the top of her head. Someday she'll have long locks like her big sister, Mary. The boys went to meet their new teachers yesterday. Can hardly believe how old the boys are getting! School starts tomorrow for them. Yea...Mary will be so lonely without her brothers around! Watch out Lucy and Charlie!

A Kodak moment

Mary and Katie posed for pictures today. Mary loves her "Bono" glasses!

The boys invited some friends over today to play in the pool. Another day closer to first day of school!!!

Today is Katie's 8 week birthday! The days just fly by!

Getting ready for summer break to be over!

all good things must come to an end. School will be starting in a few short days for the (older) girls and next week for the boys. Not quite sure what I'll do with all the free time I'll have on my hands once the house is quiet from 8am-3pm. Okay..actually, it won't be soo quiet since Mary has found that screeching is cool! Good thing that Miss Katie can sleep right through all the noise! We are still waiting to see if Lucy is with pups! Charlie was caught resting his little head on Lucy's belly...do you think that he's a proud soon to be daddy??? As usual...another picture of Katie sleeping! Isn't she cute??

It's a KSTATE Day!

#4...he had some "GUNS"! Real nice guy!

Grandma with her grandbabies.

swim time fun!

Daddy and Mary have a little "face time" under the water! She actually enjoys it! Katie was chillin' in her stroller while the kids played. Of course Mary was chheezzin' for the camera!

Andrew really likes the water. If we could stay at the pool all day, he'd be happy!

Matthew has finally learned that he won't die if he swims in the big pool, thanks to Jim so now we can often find him jumping in the deep end and swimming to the side of the pool. He is still a little nervous that he can't make it, but we all know that he can!

The kids enjoyed McD after the morning in the pool. Little miss Mary ate an entire DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER! She wouldn't share it with her Mama either!

Big girl, little girl

Mary really enjoyed her Ravioli! She wanted to sit at the big girl table with her brothers and enjoy lunch with them! I'm glad that the mess wasn't too difficult to clean up. Some more pictures of the two sisters together. Mary really wanted to be in all the pictures!

7 weeks...

A collage of Mary and Katie on their 7 week birthdays.

...playing with the dogs this morning on Katie's 7 week birthday. I think Lucy has a few pounds on her! Katie is smiling more every day! Another little girl that can melt your heart with that toothless grin!

Almost 7 weeks old

The kids were having a good time snapping some photos for me! Mary, I think enjoyed it the most! She is becoming quite the ham when it comes to having her picture taken!

Katie will be 7 weeks old tomorrow! WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE??? I guess we're all another day older!

Fun photos

Dad and his girls!

We had went to a Tbones Baseball game for some cheap entertainment. It was HOT, HOT, HOT! Did I mention that is was miserably hot? The kids seemed to have a great time that is all that matters.
