Push up Competition

Somehow our roomie Kevin through out the idea of a push-up contest with Brian. I must be honest, I thought it would be hilarious, because I knew my husband would shamelessly beat him....
Kevin-78 Brian -61
We think Kevin must be practicing upstairs at night! It's payback for Brian running him all over the neighborhood in their morning workouts. It was pure entertainment for me and Katelin!

Summer at Gingerbread

This is Ella's first opportunity to go to Gingerbread and I think its a great way to get her prepared for the fall. I thought it would be fun for Haynes to be there with her, and let Port have some special time with mommy! The first day we went to check out her class, she jumped right in like she was a pro. I left her with POrt while I took Haynes to class.
Haynes sat down and was so excited to be in the Giant classroom. He immediately told me I could come back after snack time, he wanted to stay! Ella was the same way...when I got back to her class she looked at me and said "See you in a little bit!" I must admit I was quite shocked, but thankful my kids were loving their classes. They are getting too big too fast!!

Swim Lessons

All the kids took swim lessons this year together. Ella cried the whole first day....they boys said:-) After that she did much better! Ella can "pop", kick her legs, and probably swim if she would release her death grip from you. It's a huge improvement from just putting her toes in the water...so we can't wait to see where she will be next year! The boys are both part fish. they can do all their strokes, dive for anything anywhere, and just love being in the water. Thanks Ms. Murrey for being so fun!

Fourth of July

Grandad is quite the face painter...
Mattie has a new best friend, since she painted Ella's nails
Watching the fireworks...
Mike Bower held Ella's ears during the entire show since she doesn't like the noise. It was really the sweetest thing I have ever seen. He loves me kids so well!
Late night swims were some of our favorites. This new little mat is a hit too!
Back in Norman shooting fireworks before we headed out to see the city of Norman.

Halle is 4 months!

Our sweet little angel is 8.15 and getting bigger every day!
She is loving cereal and we are loving adding calories to her each day!
She loves enjoying the lake with us too!

Safety Town

Waiting during the award ceremony
Braxton and Port
After the ceremony they got to bring their siblings into Safety Town and show them around. The kids had the best time, which is so fun because Brian and I remember going to Safety Town too! The boys had a great time with all their friends!
