Oma made this quiet book for our family when McKaylee was a baby. We had one when I was growing up & wanted one. It’s very special to have Ellenor now playing with & enjoying it. ❤Look, Mom, I made a headband!😂This is how Ellie eats chili….dip an oyster cracker in it & take a bite. 😂Apparently that’s tiring…Just hanging out in the middle of the easel…Keira joined her inside the easel Sweet girl!Sisters hanging out watching the pool be opened…On Mother’s Day the family let me sleep in (even though Ellie woke around 5am!) They found this dress downstairs & put it on her. 🥰 (McKaylee wore this dress as a flower girl in my cousin Megan’s wedding in 2004)She just makes the cutest faces & expressions. 😊A wonderful picture of all 8 “kids” with me on Mother’s Day. They keep growing up!! Time goes so quickly ❤Lizzy decorating the cake for Mr. Bill’s birthday. Lexa couldn’t pass up the opportunity to photo bomb (& show that she’s still taller!!) 😊 I love all these carefree moments that are captured. ❤I got up from a nap one day to find this bouquet on my chair (thanks Keira!)Keira made this heart shaped roll for Lizzy. Ellie cuddling with McKaylee while we were working on our girls group homework Messy girl loves her food!Ellie was “helping” me make her pouches. She kept pulling the blue thing that acts like a funnel for the pouches & licking it. Then she would say “I zip it!” & “Zip” the pouch closed. It was cute.Lizzy, Logan, Keira & Lucas participating in a 4H cookie decorating Zoom “class”Can you guess who they are acting out? 😊 Having some fun playing Cranium on Sunday. (There are 4 different categories in the game – trivia, word related puzzles/questions, charades or drawing/sculpting)Emma helping Ellie “ride a bike” (of note…this big wheel was Grant’s when he was growing up!! Logan & Keira whittling. Love the concentration We were trying on swim wear & Ellie didn’t want to be left outShe tried putting it on herself! 😂I’m stuck! Ellenor has an obsession with “fuzzies” in her toes….I can be trying to change her & she has to take off her socks & get all the fuzzies out before we can finish. I have never had a child with such an obsession about it. 😂Can you see the bluebird? On the end of the branch, orange tummy. I love seeing bluebirds & cardinalsEmma caught a butterfly (we didn’t keep it)Emma picked a bouquet of tulipsLizzy balancing a puzzle on her head. She’s so talented! 😊Lexa & Lucas weeding the asparagus patchLexa found 2 morels! First ones we’ve found since living hereKeira cuddling with EllieI love the excitement! I’m jumping! The kids playing “rollerblade ball” (Emma & Ellie are watching)
So there’s a story about the rollerblade ball. Back at the old house. When I was around 8 or so we quite soccer. And mckaylee lizzy and I all had rollerblades and we LITTERALLY spent all day in the summer wearing them so I don’t exactly rember who thought up the game (I have been known to make up games) but it’s rather like soccer on wheels and Logan and mckaylee were on a team and Liz and I were on the other. We even had team chants it was really really fun that ball is actually the same ball we used to use. As far as I can rember we found it in a gutter after a REALLY bad storm. It was seriously fun to play and now we had the honor of teaching our siblings to play it.
