Sitting Japanese Style

I guess you can say that the culture has rubbed off on us a little bit. Here we are squatting up on the road while LJ plays with his car. I can actually assume this position for quite a bit time before my legs start going numb. However, I do find it easier with a pregnant belly...something about the counter weight =)

THE CAR!

He now has his one of his very own! It's going to take some time getting use to the controls, but he's already getting better.

Playing at the Park

Kevin had the morning off so we went to the park to play. LJ took his new car and all the kids had fun.

Titus Anywhere We Go

All the kids when they were akachans (babies)drew a crowd. Here is a little of what it looks like to take Titus anywhere. Everyone comes up and tells me how cute he is, asks his age and wether he is a boy or a girl and then procedes to touch or ask to hold him. He eats up the attention and always gives them big smiles.



Saying goodbye!

Cupcakes

We finished his birthday at church with the youth group. We shared cupcakes with the youth kids and some of the youth even brought him a gift.

A showcase of mediocore decorating skills...at least they tasted good!



Yummy cake!

It's Not All Glamorous

I usually just blog about the fun stuff that we do around here, but then what about the not so fun stuff? Well, here is a little glimpse of what life is really like. I know some of you wished I lived closer and bummed that you miss out watching my children grow up, but let's keep it real...motherhood isn't always glamorous =)

This is the worst blow out EVER!! Titus only goes once every 3 to 5 days and it's always bad...but this...I was ready to turn in the towel on being a mom!

Ferris Wheel

In attempt to get both Audrey and LJ to keep a dry diaper at night we have them on a reward system. Once they go ten nights (earn 10 marbles) then they can pick out something fun to do. LJ has done it twice already. The first time he went bowling with Dad, this time he wanted to ride the Ferris Wheel. It's a 15 minute ride and they loved it!

Audrey, LJ, Josiah and I rode the train

Hair Cuts

This is one of my least favorite chores ever!! I have attempted to take all the kids for the boys to get their haircuts, but we practically all end the trip in tears (me included!). I now have designated it as a chore for just Kevin...I took pictures of the joyous moment. They both fell apart and cried until Kevin in his fatherly voice told them to straighten up. Man, why can't I have that authority!



The final product!

Time for a new Tub

I think we officially have outgrown our tub!!
