Happy 4th Of July!

2008-07-05T17:18:00.002-04:00

We spent the 4th at Six Flags and had a great time. Theses pictures were taken while we were waiting for the Glow In The Dark parade to start. After the parade, they had fire works. It was fun to watch the roller coasters going with the fire works in the back round.

Cameron Can Swim!!!

2008-07-03T16:29:00.003-04:00

Cameron has been very nervous about swimming and has not wanted to put his head underwater, but today, he tried and swam with no floatie's or anything....completely underwater! He was so proud of himself! This was a MAJOR accoplishment for him, because he has been very afraid of it! Way to go Cameron!!!

I wasn't smart enough to bring my camera to the pool, this time, but this is a picture of Cameron after, telling his Dad about it on the phone. Isn't it cute how excited he is!?

Slumber Party!

The kids Favorite part - jumping on the bed and staying up until 10 pm!!!

Annie

2008-06-29T17:35:00.011-04:00

Annabelle has been wanting "Annie" hair lately, so last
night I put curlers in her hair, and she was so happy!!!!

Unfortunetly, most of the curlers did not make it through the night, so I only have a "before" picture. She LOVED it, as you can probably tell by her huge smile!

Miniature Golf!

2008-06-29T10:27:00.007-04:00

Mark was studying for the CPA exam yesterday, so I took the kids miniature golfing to get them out of the house!

There were no waterfalls or windmills, just BORING golf!

Annabelle didn't like it much! She thought it was boring and wanted to go and get ice cream! That's my girl!!!

Brady and Cameron couldn't get enough!!!

They wanted to stay all day!!!

Thank goodness for ice cream! It solves everything!

Oh Brady!!!

2008-06-28T14:39:00.004-04:00

I think I need a whole new Blog Spot, entitled "Oh Brady!"

Today Cameron and Brady were playing outside in the backyard, playing in the mud and building things. They had lots of rocks and big branches and sticks they were using. When Brady saw that Cameron had a mosquito on the top of his head, he did what any good brother would do. He took one of the larger branches and tried to kill the mosquito. Unfortunately... Cameron's head got in the way and the mosquito was able to get away! Good try Brady, and better luck next time!

Cameron's Field Day At Priest Street School

2008-06-18T12:56:00.005-04:00

Cameron's School had "Field Day" as an end of the year activity!

They had drawing stations! They had bubble stations where Cameron got creative and blew bubbles using only his fingers!

They had Sack Races! And Art Stations

Where Cameron made a really cool visor!
It was a great end of the year activity! Cameron is very sad about leaving Kindergarten, but is looking forward to first grade!

Annabelle Winking!

2008-06-15T16:36:00.007-04:00

Annabelle has taught herself how to wink!

She spent a long time in front of the mirror figuring it out by herself! She was so proud when she could finally do it!

Great job Annabelle! I love how when you set your mind to do something, you do it!

Brady's Career Choice

2008-06-12T11:50:00.003-04:00

Today, Brady and I were watching Curious George and George and the Man with the Yellow Hat were going into space to complete a mission. Brady asked how spaceships could get so high up into the sky. When I told him I didn't know, he proceeded to tell me.

"They put a bomb in the rocket and then in blasts off"

Then he added: "When I grow up, I want to make bombs!!!"

Oh, Brady!!!

Annabelle

2008-02-27T19:19:00.000-05:00

Annabelle has a couple new "sayings"!

She was telling me a story the other day, and I said "Wow Annabelle! When did that happen?"
She relpied "LASTerday!"

She was also playing "pet store" and was pretending to sell pets and she picked up one of her baby dolls and tried to sell us a "Puppy Doll"

My "Helper"

2008-02-27T19:17:00.000-05:00

Brady was so funny today! I was doing laundry and he wanted to be a helper, so I asked him to go upstairs and get some hangers. He was gone for a really long time, so I went to check on him. When I got upstairs, I saw that he had taken ALL of my clothes off of the hangers, so that he could bring me the hangers!!! I guess I'll have to be more specific next time!

Cameron's 6th Birthday

2008-02-15T16:00:00.000-05:00

So, yesterday was Cameron's 6th birthday. I spent HOURS making cute spiderman cupcakes for him to take to school and he woke up with the stomache flu! He was sooo sick and throwing up all day. How sad is that!? He was totally bummed out and I now have 30 cupcakes here that none of us need!
So we postponed his party until next Saturday. He's excited about his party. We are having it at the New England Reptile World. They breed all types of reptiles including alligators and croc's. He's thrilled. His hero is Steve Irwin, and on Saturday, he'll actually get to touch a crocodile!
