Shout Out!

This is a shout out for our cousins who live so far away!

Funny cards

The girl's made me Mother's Day Cards at church this morning. Lizzie was suppose to draw a picture of me but she said it was really daddy in the picture.

Anna Claire's card cracked me up! I hope it makes you laugh too! The inside of the card is so funny and very descriptive of being a mom: HA!

Caroline ...

Anna Claire is overly excited about "taking care" of our dog Caroline. We let Caroline in the playroom and the girl's baby-sat her for about 10 minutes. The picture is of Caroline looking longingly out the door wishing she could go back outside!

So Loud...

Today we were at a local hamburger restaurant for lunch. The place is small and Anna Claire is so loud! The girls had just been to the bathroom and Anna Claire announced to everyone that she made a "big poop!" Then she added, "My poop was as big as Daddy!!!" Everyone laughed hysterically!
Poor Russ!

So strong!!!

Who is this funny for: Anna Claire who is picking up her sister that only weighs 2 pounds less then she does? Lizzie because she gets thrown on the ground?
They played this game of "Mommy and Baby" for 20 minutes!!!

Thailand

Lizzie is wearing an outfit mom bought on her trip to Thailand several years ago. Lizzie LOVES it because it has jingle bells on the shirt! Lizzie asked if we could go to Thailand tomorrow and Anna Claire said, "Lizzie, it is soooooo far away! We couldn't even get there by tomorrow! Silly girl!"

VACATION!!!

We have spent the last 6 days on Florida's Gulf Coast! We have had a great time! There were a few bumps in our trip, like Anna Claire's black eye, but it was mostly a fun trip. We drove down on Sunday and spent Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday playing. Jumping waves - building sand castles - catching (and releasing) crabs - bike riding - jumping in the fountain - eating great food - playing Candy Land and Chutes & Ladders - relaxing.
On Thursday we drove a couple of hours to visit Russ's sister and her family. We all had fun visiting with the cousins. Lizzie asked on our way over, "Which cousins are these?"

The girls did not want to leave the beach this morning! We will all have sweet memories of our week at the beach!
