July

Whew!  The temperature has been HOT!  We have been swimming as much as possible.  Madeline and Evrit continue to LOVE the water.  Madeline also took a Spanish class this month which she really enjoyed.  Baseball is Malcolm's activity for the the month.  I am not sure that we will be doing baseball again because Malcolm seems pretty bored with it already.  Kendrick had a mishap at work and is now shy a bit of a finger.  He is okay and his finger has been healing very quickly.  How nice it is to be young!  Facebook has also been a favorite past time of Kendrick's.  He is keeping up with high school friends as well as meeting new friends from Texas Tech.  Madeline has been a brave eater this month which is very far from the norm.  She has tried several new things and found that she likes them.  Let's hope this continues.  :-)  Corn is one of Evrit's new found treats.  He loved eating it off the cob and also decided to help himself to some whole kernel corn out of the refrigerator one morning.  He is a funny guy sometimes!  Enjoy!



I discovered corn on the cob.  Delicious!!!

Madeline's dive off of the diving board

Let's see if I can dunk Malcolm ... again.

Hey!  Where did you go, Malcolm?

Here is some baseball action!  Malcolm hit a foul ball and was walked both times at bat.  After on base, he stole bases around to third and scored 2 runs for the team.  Way to go, Malcolm!

Happy Birthday Jasmine!

Yum! Hot dogs!

Wearing cupcake icing...


I'm a super duper bubble blower.

Happy birthday, Jasmine!

Baseball in Motion

These are some of the pictures that I took of Malcolm last night.  Check out the motion.
See the ball in the last picture?

Jasmine's Birthday Party

I had fun in the water at Jasmine's birthday party!


I did not like being in the pools of water, but I did enjoy the water gun.  I could only work it with my thumb so I often shot myself in the face.


There really were not any kids my age so I tried to stay out of the way of the little kids with water guns and just chill with a cool beverage.

Okay, okay, okay...

Many of you have been urging me to start a family blog. I am not sure how much writing I will do, but I should be able to post the daily and monthly pictures that I send out. We will see how this goes...

For those of you who don't know me, I'm a mom of two part time kids and two full time kids: 
Kendrick is 18 and living at Texas Tech this fall
Malcolm is 12 and into skateboarding and anime. 
Madeline is 4, loves swimming and the color pink, and definitely holds her own with her brothers. 
Evrit is 1, has bright blue eyes and curly blonde hair, and loves balls! 

I love to take pictures, and the kids are my best subjects.  Enjoy!
