Strawberry picking Snapshots

Can you spy the trouble-maker????

"Mom, there's a BEAR in our trees!"

We were headed to the pool & the Kids were in the van while I headed back inside grabbing the last few things we needed. When I got back to the van, Ella was going nuts, repeating over & over that there was a bear in our trees! I looked and looked & couldn't find him....so I actually crawled back to Elle's seat to get her perspective & there he was!!!!! I have no idea how she spied him, cause he was a little black blob from her view, but spy him she did!!! I grabbed my camera & started snapping away, like a crazy!!!!

Our annual trip to the Laurel Fields!

8 years and nothing's changed....



....yet everything's changed.....

...and I wouldn't change a thing!!!!!

Pookie!

3 months old!

Big sis, Anna, has again lovingly nicknamed her baby brother! First, Ty became known as "Ty Boy"...and now Luke.
It started out as "Lukey Pookie"....but now we have all shortened it to "Pookie".....then "Pooker"...."Pook"...even "Pookasa"!

You seem to love it, atleast for now!!!!

I'm a sucker...

for this!

Kindergarten Grad!

Emma on her last day of Kindergarten!
What a great year....she has grown in so many ways & we are very, very proud!

She was so excited to show me her report card. As she handed it to me, she asked, "Do I get to go to First Grade, Mommy?" I thought it was the cutest thing!!! So, I made a big deal going over her report card and then emphatically announced that, yes, she was indeed assigned to 1st Grade! She jumped around with such excitement, beaming from ear to ear!!! Way to go, Emma! Your hardwork paid off :) :) :)
