Kyle says I have too many pictures on the computer.

my boys:

there are no words for the cuteness. really there isn't.

Was just thinking about how I started reading Harry Potter when this one was in my womb and he was at the midnight showing of the last movie with me. time FLIES.

this is how PJ sleeps in the car seat. The car seat that he's about outgrown.

this is how my mom sleeps during her crossword puzzle:

Hey Tony!

Did I already put up some of these pics - probably... the kids waiting for fireworks on top of the van

the lake again: we have taken to heading up there after Kyle gets home from work - no one is there and we have a good 1.5 hrs. to swim - just enough time!

cookie monster!

the what am I game - grandma was stumped by ladder. - Is a ladder big enough for someone to fit inside?

My mom meeting PJ live for the first time. She was at his birth courtesy of Skype - but that's not the same as "neck sugars" as she calls them

Its "Gustin" as Cora calls him

Hey mom - love you!

The family post dinner fear factor continues - How many GIANT marshmallows can you fit in your mouth - I failed. Kyle dominated at three.

I bought a can of sardines at the dollar store the last time I was there - FHE dares anyone?

We baby talk to him more than we do to the baby...

then...

and now...

July Picture Pages

Meg and her fiance Justin - do you say fiance like the guy in O brother where art thou? you should - it makes your brain giggle

Pics with Grandma - can you tell its a little less than 900 degrees outside when we took these?

and maybe I should put up 4th of July pics before its August:

and for some randomness:

Meg getting Maiya to plank :)

Happy Birthday Coh-rah.

I got you plates and napkins for your birthday on clearance and when I handed them to you in the shopping cart you got so excited and said over and over - "for me? for me?" when I assured you they were for you - you said "I'm so happy" It melted my heart. The plates had a beach theme so you started telling everyone we were going to the 'beeesh' for your party.

So of course we went the 'beeesh' for your birthday - the closest thing to a beach around these parts anyway. We loved that Grandma got to be here!

We'll forget the part where I forgot the actual plates at home:(

I will never get over how fast time moves - I didn't have this sense of dread as much with Little Ben and Ella - I couldn't wait for the next milestone -- But now I cherish everything you guys can do and the amazing experience it is to watch you all grow. It just seems that the more I adore the experience the faster it goes.

it seems like just yesterday we brought you home on a Sunday - paperwork yet to be done for your birth because no one was at the hospital to do it on a weekend.

And now you are running, talking all the time... just yesterday a HUGE milestone - you ran errands with me in big girl panties and you went on the scary giant toilet at the store. - You held it together even when the auto flush went off.

You stayed up late with me and Ella last night watching a movie. You firmly told me "I NOT going to bed." and I said OK because you are a big girl now.

We love you so much Cora.

It feels like yesterday I was swimming here with you in my belly!

you loved your party hat!

we got a kite to fly but that made sure that all the wind in texas was gone that day

The hit gift - a plasma car!
