We registered Nora for her first dance class

Played with friends at the castle park in Pinehurst with the Luchettas

Gavin, Nora, Ava, Emma, Brayden, Holden and Davis

this cutie loved on her Daddy Doll...and told me repeatedly that she wanted him to come back.  Daddy, you are loved!

MC Girl Playdate, with the newest addition, Benjamin

Davis, Holden, Nora, Benjamin, Braxton, Micah

We started drawing people...Nora definitely has a knack for it and has continued to draw her family on every piece of paper she can get her hands on since this day 

i got the kids new dress up clothes while in Savannah

Nora wanted to take a bath with her little brother

Pop Pop and Grandma came to visit one Saturday and I got some much needed quiet time

this little one has learned that i keep food in the diaper bag...i have to watch out, cause he's always in there scavenging.  one day i found a trail of sticky juice and at the end of the trail, i found this face 

the Twins and I went on a date--lunch at Chili's and a movie!

we enjoy as many of the cooler summer nights that we can jumping on the trampoline

i just love watching these 2 play

new musical bath toys

Holden went on a special outing with Hillary and Jack to the Dinosaur museum.  He was so excited, he waited at the window for them!

while they were in Raleigh, i took Davis, Nora and her friend Adelyn to the dinosaur park and then out to eat lunch at Red Robin.  The girls dressed like twins :)

watching the airplanes take off on Pope AFB

swinging babies

Lotsa Random.

you know you love these posts :)

watching TV upside down.  this kid is always stretching straining and hanging in weird uncomfortable positions.  

 Grandpa came to visit one morning!

"just cookin' somethin momma"

we made some monster feet...cute, but hard to walk in

reading her princess book 

Holden loves his hats!  this one was one of my grandpa's hats.  it's sweet to see it on Holden's head now. 

family movi night snuggles 

 brotherly love/matching new blue shoes

i love this post-nap face.  He's a keeper. 

and then there's this face..haha.  Nora wanted to hug her brother...Holden wasn't really in the mood for it.   

play-napping in the laundry basket

even D loves the Meow.  He got a hold of it one day when N wasn't paying attention...drooled all over it!  Nora was very upset when she noticed how wet Meow was later.  Little Bro already terrorizing his sister!

 Game Time!  (not that i care about the b-ball games, although i do care about these two sweet faces!)

Goodbyes to Daddy before he goes back to school.  

We made a spontaneous visit to the Rackley's last week.  

 Amanda has a zoo in her house!  A cool talking bird, a doggy, and a fun fish tank.  

What happens when you leave a baby alone for a few minutes...you come back to all of his toys on his face!  Funny Baby!

like i said about the weird positions.  

this past Christmas Mike's grandma gave us an old box of his toys.  the kids love them.  Holden calls them "things".  He tells me he wants to play with "my things".  Cracks me up. 

classics!

i love this one...it's a soldier that was turned into a paratrooper.   Crazy to think our kids could actually turn into the things they play with now. 

and if that's the case, then this little girl will grow up to be a Fairy Princess.  This is her pixie dust bag,  not to be confused with her socks ;)

my babies

more typical 

sweet sink baths.  i don't think i'll ever get enough of this beautiful smile.
