Father Daughter Ball

Our church had a Father Daughter Ball. Boy was Audrey excited! She picked out her favorite dress (a Christmas one) the night before and wanted to put it on first thing in the morning. We scheduled a hair appointment with Mrs. Farah. She had a blast getting dressed up and going out with her dad. Here she is with the flowers he bought for her.

The boys insisted on taking a picture with Dad, too. He was all decked out!
The lovely couple

She came home ecstatic!

Mom, can I take a picture?

And I said, "only one." Here is LJ's work of art.

LJ asked me to take on of him and his new favorite pose. If LJ is ever in a gang, this will be his gang sign.

Josiah's second attempt.
Audrey's picture. Titus was an excellent subject, stopping to pose for her.

Yes, I'm still expecting!

I'm only getting bigger, more uncomfortable and really ready to meet the newest member of our family. I'm so not hot, but thought you might enjoy a picture of me at 41 weeks. I had an appointment yesterday to find out that my body is still happily with child. The baby is doing well: lots of fluid, lots of movement, great placenta, etc. He/she is just chillin'.

And because of it you finally get this updated blog post=)

Dying Easter Eggs

Titus' hands after the fact. His favorite color was green. He only did two eggs, but he sure had a blast pounding them into the dye and licking his hands.
Waiting for the fun to begin.

We didn't get any pictures of the action because my camera died =( However it was funny to see the kids different personalities. Titus was a go-getter, making a huge mess and laughing the entire time. LJ was all about mixing the colors. Josiah didn't like being messy and was way cleaner than last year. Audrey wanted one egg of each color and was quite methodical about it all.

My kids love their Cousin's Blogs

Thanks to all their Aunts who keep them well posted on the happenings stateside.

The Cookie Thief!

Stripped Shirt Day

In the box with the swimsuits came a stripped shirt for each one of the boys. They decided to match and Audrey just happened to wear her only stripped shirt as well.

My 3 handsome men...we are working on LJ not being weird during pictures. I'm hoping it's just a phase.

Thanks for the Swimsuits!

Thanks, Grandma Kay and Papa Les for our new swimsuits. We couldn't wait to get them on and try them out.

It may be a dinky pool, but they sure had fun splish-splashing around.

Pirate Ship Park

Kevin was actually home for an entire day off. So we loaded up and went to Pirate Ship Park, per request of LJ.

It's a pretty cool boat that you climb on. It has a slide and a zipline and lots of other fun things.

There is also a smaller ship-like playground that Titus really enjoyed.

We stopped at the convenient store and got some icecream to eat....yum!

Titus really liked his!

Titus is getting huge.

This is one of Josiah's many faces. He is VERY expressive.

LJ is all into posing.

Josiah has a thumbs up. He always has to have at least one finger up in the photo.

It was a great, relaxing day.

Final few Weeks

I usually delete every pregnancy picture of me...I really do hate the reality of what I look like. However, I know many of you out there have never seen me in this stage of pregnancy. At least you now know that you aren't missing much =)

This is me two weeks away from my due date. Audrey took this picture and the angle is quite flattering.

Here is a side profile. The view in the background isn't so bad.

This is my way of remember that this is me with baby number 5...so sly!
