Roman's Baseball Game

Awhile back, before Roman hurt his arm I took the boys (and Daisy) to one of Roman's games....Sidney stayed at my sister's house to play with her cousins.....

I thought this was sooooooo funny.......I get a chuckle out of it each time I watch it.....this is actually Cameron REALLY getting into the game!

Playing with Daisy

Daisy is getting big..............the kids love her and love playing with her........although sometimes I think she doesn't really appreciate them hanging all over her.....she tolerates it very well most of the time though!

hanging out with Carter....... she's always waiting in the wings for the kids to drop something

Sidney and Carter(I think?) are trying to give her a hug.....(aka: squeezing and pulling on her)......Daisy is desperately trying to get away.

a little bit of dress-up........

another attempt at a hug......(I'm not sure if this is Cameron or Carter......I want to say it's Cameron)

Sidney LOVES Her Art Projects

Sidney always needs to be doing something/getting into something....she LOVES getting messy......she actually hasn't been painting very much at all lately.............since I got tired of the huge messes she always makes......

here she is with the finger paints...............I usually make her do them outside, but it's already getting too hot!

"See Mommy?" (check out Daisy passed out on the floor behind her)

one day while the boys were sleeping and I was working on some paperwork Sidney decided to work on her own scrapbook .....she cut the paper up into a million tiny pieces and went through a whole role of tape! (needless to say, I didn't get much paperwork done because she needed my help all of the time)

she just loves clipping these little plastic baby clothespins on her clothes......I think they are from when she was a baby.....as a decoration or something.........

ok, so this isn't exactly art.......but she had fun dressing up for her princess luncheon

More Outside Time

My kids LOVE to play outside.......especially after dinner.....when it starts to cool down a little...

Sidney is all smiles for the camera, but it you look closely, you can see the boys are looking inside and saying hi to Daddy

this is a new thing of theirs....they like to climb on top of this little house......it REALLY stresses me out, but Sidney can climb up there on her own.....so it's hard to stop her

Cameron has moved on and is playing IN the playhouse.......Mommy likes this much better!

Just a random picture of Carter and I that I liked!

Playing Outside

The kids love to play out in the back yard.................and apparently are half-dressed most of the time!

The boys love all their sports toys!

Sidney LOVES playing in the water.......she was actually scooping bugs out of the pool here as the water had been in there for a day or two......

blowing bubbles.....Sidney also loves to have her picture taken....and video of her

Cooling Off in the Pool

It's been pretty hot down here off and on lately........and Roman has rejoined the gym...so we have been going to the pool there A LOT!

It's amazing the difference between last year and this......the boys are so much more comfortable in the water..........they love it! They will put their face in and go out pretty deep.....they want to be where the action is!

Here's our little fish! She loves diving after the rings she throws........she never wants to share them with other kids......she wants to do it all herself!

The kids love it when Roman spins them around.........and Sidney can't wait until it's her turn!

the water is still a little cold though......

Father's Night At Sidney's School II

They had a second Father's Night at Sidney and Kendall's school.......the girls really had a good time.......I think Roman and Jason did too.......

Sidney is all smiles

the girls having fun

Daddy (Roman) and Sidney

Yum, Pizza! (Jason and Kendall)

We missed our Friends

We tried to catch some of our friends at a bubble activity that they had, but Sidney had a dance class that morning and it was over by the time we got there........so I took the kids to play over at the playground......it was a very windy and kind of cold day, but they had fun anyway!

the kids love these life sized toys......there's just usually soooo many kids there that they have a hard time getting to sit in them....(Carter is on the left, Cameron is on the Right)

I just loved this pic of Cameron hanging out the window!

Sidney made sure she got her turn in there too!

they hadn't really played on this part of the park before....

fun, fun, fun

The Sand and Water Table

We've had some nice weather..............before it got smoking hot that is!

the kids love playing with this table..............the red side is supposed to be for sand, the blue side is for water..............it never stays that way though!

most of the time the boys play pretty well together.......Sidney must have been at school this day.....that's why it's so quiet!

Sidney and Madeline's New Obsession

Sidney and Madeline LOVE Hannah Montana.................Madeline started getting interested at first.....then Sidney caught on!

so, we took the girls to her movie when it came out

it's still kind of hard for them to sit for such a long time.....but I think they enjoyed it!

Sidney LOVES her music..............every time we get in the car we have to listen to Hannah Montana, and she always knows just which song she wants to listen to too! Even when I turn music on at home she always wants to listen to Hannah Montana! The boys don't usually get a say..........she really likes the "Hoedown Throwdown" song.....so awhile ago we looked up on UTube the dance that goes along with the song...............Sidney was doing her own version of it........it was soooooooooo cute!

More Princess Power Hour

More pics from my cell phone......Sidney just LOVED her Princess Power Hour class.....

her teacher always had such fun things planned for the girls....

scarves!!.....she loves to dance around with the scarves

dancing, dancing

this was the first and only time I think I saw her bring this out....but the girls had fun with it

Sidney loved this class so much......she's going to take it again in a couple of weeks!

Playing in the Mud

Here are some more pics from my cell phone......I'm guessing since they are playing in the splash pad, this is around September/October.......

It was another MOMS Club event at a park..........they had watered around the trees.........they flood areas and let the ground absorb it over time a lot down here........

the boys just dove right in and were having a blast!.....Sidney is thinking......"Uh, I don't think you should be doing that boys!"........they were all wet before I had a chance to grab them.......so I just let them have their fun.

I think that this was the same day........I finally got their clothes changed

I think this is Carter.......he looks like "Ok Mommy, I'm done now.....let's go eat!"

Freestone Park

I finally figured out how to put the memory stick in my phone to get the pics off of it......I'm not sure exactly when these were taken, but I remember this day.......we went there with the Mom's club. I'm guessing, since the kids have long sleeves on that it was around November - February....sometime....

all the kids wanted to ride in the little cars behind Sidney......I think I ran out of change for her to actually ride this one.

the kids always love to feed the ducks! (I think that that's Cameron)

the boys loved riding this ride with some of the other kids from the Moms club

Sidney's Last Day of School

Ok, so I'm messing myself up even farther by going out of order again.......but I thought I would post some pics of Kendall and Sidney's last day/graduation from the 3's preschool class.....(I know, Sidney is now 4, but she was 3 when she started and that's just what they call it....)

Kendall with the teacher and the aide........Sidney didn't want to have her picture taken with them.....they were both great teachers.....both girls really loved them!

they didn't really have an organized class yesterday, it was just a lot of fun.....they had bounce houses set up outside..........it was a VERY hot day.........it was already almost too hot to play outside around 9:30am

siblings got to join in the fun too!

Carter and Cameron headed straight for the cars as soon as we got there.......and stayed where it was nice and cool most of the time....(sorry, I couldn't find my camera, so I had to take these with my phone...............I tried to fix the color....and it's a little blurry : (

yum, yum.........yogurt, frozen in a tube, the perfect snack on this very hot day!

I just barely got Kendall.......and Sidney........before the memory card was full..........I didn't realize it was that close........I need to back up all my videos of the kids!

Mo's Birthday Party

A little while ago it was my Mom's, neighbor's little girls's birthday.......their neighbors come over a lot when we have Sunday dinner......and came over to our house for the superbowl......the girls all love to play together.....

Paul did a great job planning the little party, as Bonnie had to work

who doesn't love bubbles?

Papa is even helping the girls out.....

"Happy Birthday to Mo"

they girls were all VERY envious of the Hannah Montana guitar that she got.......you plug it into the TV and can play games......................Sidney asked me last week if we could take back one of her guitars and get the one that plugged into the tv, it was so cute!

Sidney Loves the Rain

A few weeks ago we had a bit of rain.............Sidney always seems so fascinated by it......she always says "Mommy, grab my umbrella!"

she loves to go outside and use her umbrella in the rain......

of course, this is AZ rain.....so it's fairly warm, (notice she has shorts on) and I think this one was fairly short-lived

she was having a blast...............but then the boys want to go out and join her too!
