Colorin'
The other night, Carli came to me and said, "Mommy, you love me and Bubby colorin' together?" I said, "yes I do!" Then Carli jumped up and down, grabbed my hand and said, "Okay then, come take a picture!" So of course I did!

FUN 4th!!!!!
July 4th, the house was decked out festively and our day was spent going swimming, then grilling hot dogs. Our food consumption consisted of chili dogs, different kinds of chips and dips, watermelon, strawberries, and vanilla ice cream. We like to eat around here! Later on in the evening, we headed to find the most perfect spot to watch our fireworks...and we did! We brought our chairs and blanket, snacks/drinks, glow in the dark bracelets, Carli's baby doll, Woody and Jessie. We hung out listening to music and watching Tyler play a game of football with his friends that were seated near by. Then, the firework show began and we all really enjoyed it! We were very close! WOW! We all agreed that our day was SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

Princesses
Thursday, Olivia came over to play with Carli. They of course dressed up immediately and got right down to business! Their play is changing everytime they get together. More mature each time! It's really neat to watch them. No fighting, just lots of squeals and giggling!!
The princesses had to get their tea party set up in their castle.
Then, had to eat honey buns and drink oj, while watching Strawberry Shortcake.
They also got to go to Tyler's room. He let them play Toy Story 3 on his XBOX. He was so good with them. They even made him the giant and then later the monster!
All that playing made the princesses hungry. Time for lunch!
Such sweet girls! Such a sweet time!

A SUPER SMOOTH 16th BIRTHDAY PARTY!
With Austin turning 16, he needed a big party! Of course, he's not a girl, so we couldn't do a "Sweet 16". What better theme to do than a "Super Smooth 16"! He refers to himself as Mr.Smooth, so it was perfect! 
Here Austin is waiting on his guests! He greeted each one of them at the door!
I have to tell you for a minute about the power of prayer...Friday, he had seizures. One of those resulted in him scraping up the side of his face. We were worried that he would be so out of it come Saturday, that he may not be able to have his party. Let me say that I prayed all day and night that he would be able to have it. We decided that depending on how his night went, Saturday morning around 7am, we would wake him up to see how he responded. This way, if we did have to cancel, it would give the out of town people enough notice. Low and behold, he woke up himself, AT 7 am! He slept fine and other than some scrapes and being a little slow, he was good to go for his party! THANK YOU GOD!
This was the star outside by the front door.
Now onto the inside. These pictures are in no particular order. Sorry.
The above pics are the dining room.
The glorious cake! YUMMY! Thanks to my Aunt Terry for cutting it.
I made 4x6's of the above picture to give to Great Grandparents, Grandma, Great Aunts and Great Uncles, Aunts and Uncles, and of course God Parents!
We had different chips and dips, pizza, and sodas!
After eating, we showed a video we made of Austin through the years. We were able to get pictures of him with family members and friends that we knew would be at the party, as well as many other pictures. I had a very hard time keeping the pictures to a minimum, to where it wasn't more than 10 minutes! I'm telling you, I have enough pictures of this boy to make the video a week long viewing! It was about 9 minutes long, with some of his favorite songs on it. I think everyone enjoyed it! I thought it was quite cute!
The party favor basket. A bag of Hershey kisses for each guest. Austin's favorite candy, Hershey.
Mimi and Austin.

I wish I would've gotten pictures of everyone there!!! I was a tad busy though, so thank you to my bff, Deyanira for getting these pictures!
There were some other cameras flashin', so hopefully I'll get some of those pictures to post soon. HINT HINT!!
We thank everyone who was able to make it. You made Austin's special day, that more special! It means so much to us!

Mr. Smooth
We had an awesome weekend! Saturday, we had a birthday party for Mr. Smooth, Austin!
A couple of days before his party, he tried on his party outfit, we broke out the camera, and he was havin' a blast! We finally had to tell him, "Okay Austin, that's enough pictures tonight!" Let me just say, not only do I have tons of pictures of him because he's the first born, I have them because he's such a ham! This boy loves taking pictures!
Be still my heart...my sweetie is so handsome!
Party pictures to come Tuesday or Wednesday, you won't want to miss it, we all had a great time!

Big kids
I LOVE babies, I REALLY love babies! As much as I miss that baby stage and it makes me a little sad to see my kiddos get bigger sometimes, I've realized that I also really love this big kid stage too! I mean, who wouldn't love it? I no longer have to fold laundry! Carli can even do it too! WOO HOO!!!
Ahhh...my chore list is dwindling down!!! :)

The bands have entered the building
The SILLY BANZ that is!
I knew this craze would make it to my house eventually and it did! The kids love 'em for some reason. Carli has princess ones and the boys each have rock band. There's tons to choose from and are cheap too.
