Middle Child

We've all heard about how middle children get the bad end of everything.
My middle child makes me laugh every single day.

He loves to dress up and is always in a different costume. He also dresses up all his stuffies and has them doing humanized things like eating at the table, sleeping in bed, peeing on the toilet.

He is an artist and draws on everything. He has gotten in more trouble than any kid I know for drawing on bookshelves, bunk beds, tables, walls. No amount of punishing seems to phase him, if he has a picture in his head he has to get it out.

He loves having crazy hair especially mohawks.

He is a boy through and through.

He talks like a little southern boy, everyone is always saying how much they love his voice.

He makes the best faces and expressions. We have talked so many times about getting this kid an agent because he could make us millions!!!

I am in no way picking favorites.....

but this kid sure is a keeper!

We love you soooo much Aidan.

Summer

Petting zoo at Beacon Hill Park
This is how my mom's dog Cocoa was walking so she could see the animals.

At the Lake on one of the few hot days so far.

I am not sure what she was doing but I couldn't resist the bum shot!

More summer fun.

Jumping on the tramp with the sprinkler under it.

Mini golfing while mommy was recovering from "the accident".

Ryan beating me up because I couldn't fight back.

The weather has not been so great this trip so we took advantage of the sun the hour it was out today.

Painting Baba's basement

Baba decided to paint her basement before they put in the new carpet. So she gave the kids an old t-shirt, a roller and a wall. They had fun. Aidan had more paint on himself after than the wall.

Muscles, or something like that!

Fun times at Baba's.

My kids love this trampoline. They are out there all day and their favorite part is jumping off the deck onto it. Aidan Knievel even mastered the art of trick jumping!!
Yes, she is a princess.

Best climbing tree ever in Beacon Hill Park.

We try to get a picture in this tree every time we come to visit.

Canada Day was super fun, even though Logan fell asleep during the firework show!!

Disneyland on my birthday.

Tower of Terror

My mom, me, Logan, sister Taylor, Aidan. I think I was more scared than the boys.
Emily entertaining herself in a line. The lines were not too bad at all, the longest was maybe 20 minutes. Most were only about 5 minutes.

Yeah for Mickey, we didn't even have to wait in line to see him, he was walking around so the kids just ran up and walked beside him.

Pirates!!!

I was recently in a musical with our community theater called The Lady Pirates of Captain Bree. I obviously was a pirate. It was a lot of work, big time commitment, but so much fun.

The kids loved it, they came in costume and pretended to be pirates also.

It was a dinner theater. We served chicken, pirates pie and a salmagundie, which was a salad with a bunch of different toppings.

Great picture of Aidan hamming it up.

I love my kids!

Never ever give kids a can of foam soap unsupervised.
