Memorial Day

The "big" cousins had a slumber party at Grammie's last night and the baby cousins got some extra qt with their mommies. What a treat...the "big" kids had a blast and the mommies got some quiet time...THANKS GRAMMIE!!!

When Grammie brought Emmy & the trio home, they were greeted by our pet for the day, "Turtle" (such an original name given to him by the kids!)

We thought it would be funny if Mr Turtle gave Darby a ride...Mr Turtle was not amused!

Cousins lined up for a turtle race!

I thought turtles were supposed to be slow. This turtle must have heard he had been captured by a family with 6 kids 3 and under and got moving!

Truly a great evening! Lauren...we are soooo very proud of you and can't wait to watch you perfom in many more recitals!

Now its time to get these boys signed up for some sports!!!

Ballerina Mode

With the big recital coming up, we've been in ballerina mode here lately.

Lauren's class giving their teacher hugs

Practice makes perfect

Missy Moo

After ballet, Granny took us to breakfast and then to the park for some playtime and a picnic. What a treat!!!

Morning time (note...this is why there are always way more pictures of Lauren than of the boys...she's usually eager to have her picture taken, the boys are just annoyed!!!)

Lauren's short hair has to be in a bun for recital so we practiced. Makes her look so grown up!

Ballet can be so serious!!!

And a couple of London from the day (because he ties Lauren for easy pictures and can't run from me yet!)

I thought this picture looked so much like one from 2006 of Logan. Turns out the actual picture doesn't but the way I remember it does! Maybe its just because they are/were such happy babies. Logan was by far the smiliest of the trio in the beginning.

Logan 2006




And then London watching Oprah!!! I was changing diapers so I propped London up. Not sure if its because it was his first time to really notice the tv or if what they were talking about was really funny, but he loved it!

Whatever she was saying was funny!
