I like to eat, eat, eat

After working really hard on his Saturday chore, Gardner was really hungry. So we fed him his favorite, Chicken Noodle Soup :]

Saturday Chores

Every Saturday the kids have a chore that they have to do,

so we can have our house clean for Sunday. This time, Gardner decided to get in on the job.

Photoshoot

Becca took Gardner for a "walky walky" and it turned into a photoshoot. Here's what she got out of it :]

Going to church

Gardner looked so handsome for church yesterday!

Too bad his collar is under his vest on the right side.

Haircuts

Becca and Emma recently got their hair cut. They wanted it shorter for the summer.

I love this kid!

I took some cute pictures of Gardner today and I wanted to share them with you! He's such a cute kid :]

Gardner's first toothbrush

We figured Gardner was ready for his first toothbrush, so we went to Wal Mart and bought him one. He was very excited to brush his teeth for the first time, because he felt like a big boy.

Happy 17th Birthday Becca!

Gardner, Gardner, Gardner

I just had to post this picture, because it was so cute. Don't mess with Gardner and his gatorade...ever!

Beach trip

Becca and her three best friends Rachel, Heidi, and Codi got to stay with us for the night at our resort on Cocoa Beach for Becca's birthday. They had a blast. People were probably getting bugged, they were laughing so loud.

A walk to remember

We took a walk as a family this evening. It was really nice. The sunset was beautiful on the lake by our house.

Becca's birthday party

Becca had her 17th birthday party today.

She had some of her good friends over for pizza, cake, and games.

The kids really seemed to enjoy it!

Monday, she is staying the night in a resort on the beach with her

three best girlfriends as part of her birthday present.

I will post pictures of that as well.

8th grade graduation!

Emma graduated from 8th grade today.

They had a ceremony to congratulate the kids on their achievments in Middle School. She is now officially a High Schooler :)

Tubby Time!

After a long day of swimming, Gardner was ready for tubby time.

But before bed, he always has to give "brabra" hugs!

Gardner goes swimming

Gardner went swimming in his new pool for the first time. He seemed to love it!

Emma is inducted into Honor Society

Emma had a ceremony and was formally inducted into the

Junior Honor Society of her Middle School.

She has done very well and we are very proud of her.

Gardner gets a pool

He was so excited to go swimming, but it was raining outside.

So we set up the pool in the kitchen and he decided to drink his bottle and relax.

Gardner's 1st Birthday

Gardner celebrated his 1st birthday on May 21st.

He had a Curious George cake, because he's our little monkey :)
