Picture Catch-up

With a raging case of mastitis going I have a little more computer time than anticipated. Feeling a little miserable and a little brain dead at this point so I'll stick with pics. 

Sooo.....maybe some little kids....or big kids.....left the brand new, long anticipated camera outside overnight....in the 2nd torrential downpour we've experienced here in this eastern state. So we're here now...back to square one with a camera....and limited to amazing quality phone pics. But, it is undoubtedly better than being completely without a camera. 

Baby snapping turtle Grayson caught in his net.

Bright and early. He woke up thirsty. 

Sometimes what it just comes down to for mischievous Baby A. 

One of the many treasures discovered when you live in the trees.

 Sweet, sweet boys. And no....that is not mold behind them though I am quite certain the level of nasty on the gross factor scale measures the equivalent. But...the boys sure are cute!

Parmesan cheese....fresh from the frig...for lunch.

How much my heart loves this boy. It absolutely melts at the sight and sounds of him. Happy, content, sweet, wiggly, talkative boy of mine.

Our new couch. I really just love free stuff. 

Not only does it serve the purpose of seating people....it's multi functional. 

Life with boys...lots of them.

East coast rain

One more reason not to have carpet. But hey...at least Ivye knows her A's!

My view after getting out of the shower and unlocking the door. I finally told them to take numbers.

Off the beaten trails....

The vines are works of art all unto themselves...

Climbing boys

They have an entire playground and this is where they end up.

Attending jiu jitsuing husband's 1st tournament in which he took 2nd place! Undoubtedly the first of many tournaments to come. I love being married to a man that has the ability to kick some butt and kids that possess the ability to kick butt too.

Watching them roll....

Daddy's fan club and cheering section.

Park days and more hiking...while avoiding poison ivy at all cost.

New trails 

Sporting his new shiner. Earned while riding tricycle down hill at illegal boy speeds. Handlebar to eye socket never bodes well.

I'm thinkin there's room for at least 10 more.

It's always more fun when there's two of you.

When there's just a skeleton crew of kids. Looks and feels a little strange. Older girls were at neighbors swimming and all babies in bed for the night. 

Opening my eyes to this and a 4 year old voice telling me I'm the most beautiful girl he's ever seen and the smartest girl he knows. That beats Folgers anyday.

The love of hydrangeas! All of the kids are mesmerized by them. We have bouquets filling cabinets and table. And yep....they picked 'em. Big blue gigantic puff balls of flowers. They're amazing.

 Cartoons with the early morning risers.

Ivye's a little happy to be holding him. Chubby growing boy. 3 months old today.

Apparently they were hungry for oatmeal.

Guess he wanted a bath too.
