Lots of Water!

Warning- this post has about a billion pictures on it.  I am out of complete control!  I've been trying to take lots of pictures to work on my photography different random things, like nailing focus on lightning fast kiddos among other things.  Its totally fun and I love working on it, but it leads to a huge amount of pictures to go through all the time!  I am overwhelmed with trying to organize them and get them all printed in shutterfly books.  Because lets face it, every picture of my kids is cute ;-)

So here is Mr Smiley face in the bathtub.  He spends his time in the bath seeing exactly how much water he can get on the floor before I have had enough and make him get out.

Ways to do this:

Filling up the hair washing bucket and dumping it out

Filling up the bucket and acting like he's going to pour it into something else- then quickly dumping it out

Turning the faucet to go outside of the tub and turning it on full blast (that's my personal fave)

Turning on the water and putting a large scooped shovel under the stream so it flows right out

Splashing

So you can see why he has such a large grin on his face.  He's planning his next move.

 Sweet Berkley Bubble Head

 He doesn't like being Mr Bubble head.  He probably turned the faucet around right after this.

 The kids love to go to the park, we try to go in the morning before it is too hot.  Another part of my photography I'm working on is getting pics that look good in full sun.  Its quite a challenge!

We walk to the park with the double stroller- Patton spends almost the entire ride trying to hurt Berkley. He pulls her hair, we have tried everything to get him to stop. One day I even ended up wrapping him in a sweater like a straight jacket.  It worked for about 3 minutes. Poor girl!

This time they had suckers and that occupied him for a little while, until he saw that beautiful flowing hair right next to him. 

Isn't she adorable?

 Playing Ice Cream Shop.  Quite a handsome little ice cream man.

 Patton loves the slide. He gets to the top and either says "weee weee weee" or "uh uh uh GO!"
 (uh uh uh is said in the same tone as 1-2-3)

 Cutie pie

 That same afternoon the kids were playing outside and we decided to introduce Patton to the sprinkler

 He was a big fan!

 Love this picture of my E bop! She looks like a little model

 Speaking of models- who is this cute tennis pro?

 Good Buddies

This guy is our friend Brody- he belongs to Brian and Brea- Brian and Chris have been friends since Kindergarten.  I need to get a pic of these boys with their dads- they both look exactly like them. I can't wait to compare old pics of Chris and Brian with pics of these two when they get a little bigger!

 Mother's Day was great! I don't have a ton of pictures from it, but they brought me breakfast in bed and all 3 of them did awesome art projects for me. Chris is so sweet and looks up crafts and goes and buys stuff for them to create for me.  I need to take pics of all the cute things I got from them. I also got an awesome necklace with all 3 kids first initial. I love it!

I liked how this pic turned out with a rainbow

 Am I one lucky mama or what?! Look at those sweet smiles!

 Patton thought he should try eating his donut a new way to keep it interesting

 Another view of my awesome babies. 

 We went to my parents house for lunch to celebrate.  I am sure they just love having a pool, as soon as the grandkids walk in the door they are all begging to go swim. 

The End!
