Owen was excited:)

Hey Jake, hope you are doing ok. Same old same old here.....it is nice not to have to be somewhere every second of the day. I'm starting to be ok with just going with the flow. The boys are getting along great and Max is adjusting well into his summer schedule. The pics are from a baby bird Owen found when he went to mail a letter today. His parents are Cardinals and they are always close by. The baby keeps coming to the door and the kids like it:) Also had a lizard in the house today too that provided an hour of fun trying to chase it out. Thinking about you. Love you lots.

Some pics from our day at the new marina park.....btw it's astro turf and it is sooooo hot on your feet!!!

Soooooo last inning....down by one.....two outs.....two strikes.... bases loaded.....who hits the game winning rbi? MAX!!! You would have been so proud! He had two base hits tonight and several ground balls. He's so calm all the time....not much excitement ever:) But he did come out of the dug out and gave me a kiss on my forehead. Hope you get to watch this video some day soon!

Nice dog tags!! Thanks Aunt Brandy!

Hey Jake! Getting ready for another baseball game tonight. Two more games left this season. Can't believe it's over already! Max has been working hard to make some extra money so he could buy something he saw on tv....my windows are clean, the house is vacuumed, and your and Melissa's cars are clean:) After all his work combined with the money he had saved he finally got it......Aluma Wallet.

Good night Daddy!

Bath time

Olive helping with laundry and pulling up her dress:)

Hey babe, a month down!! The boys stayed up till 1030 after we got ice cream after Max's game but they still got up at 630...except Owen enjoyed sleeping till 0800:) They were invited to Owen's friend Henry's bday party today. They had lots of fun and I got to talk to some of the moms. The boys love riding bikes and Milton gets to go too. We love you and miss you!

So I love this video....at night when we listen to books or play the recordings of you Olive is always in Owens bed watching and listening to the nightly chaos....so when she is fussy I play rock a bye and she always stops and listens and looks.....let me know if you need a new camera we would love pics! Miss you and love you.

Field Day at Parkwood. Last week of 1st grade! So crazy he has two years down:( So glad I got to hear your voice last night. The kids sent emails with little notes from them. Love you Jake.

Hey babe, hope you are doing ok....we miss you lots. Max had his bridging ceremony this weekend. It was a little over an hour at a camp in Beaullville. He had fun all day Saturday hiking and swimming in the lake. Only found two ticks on him:) Melissa came over and we took the others to New River pool. It's free and they had a bbq for everyone too. Kids had a good time. Took all of them back today to swim. School in the morning....Mas fell asleep on the couch:) LOVE you and miss you so much.

Olive and her barbie

Hey so amazing to get to talk to you! Owen loves his haircut and Mason is wanting his short too....I might let him get it a little shorter:) Max used all his "Panda Bucks" to buy Olive a barbie...how sweet! The boys wont put the barbie down...she spends most of the day topless. They tried to get Olive to nurse the barbie! I can't wait for more little girl toys. Max has his ceremony tonight....it's an hour away so don't know what time I'll pack up the crew yet. I will try and record and get some pics. We love you and email when you can!
