These are the chefs of the kitchen, we'll that's what they think. It never fails, whenever they hear a can open or the sizzling of food on the stove their both there ready to help. They have routines of each pulling up a chair to help and grabbing some type of utensil. Every once in awhile they'll dress in their "home depot cooking gear." Its cute, but sometimes really annoying tp have so many hands in the kitchen. I just have to think their only young once:) Dont you love to cook and have the fly spray handy-lol

Like mother like daughter

These 2 together are pure entertainment! Joey is really into doing hair and helping me. I think it would be great if someday she decided to do hair. The funniest thing that she doesn't like anything in her hair. I guess she really is like me-lol

During Max's birthday party I asked one of Max's friends mom, who works in a dentist office to look at Max's teeth. I assumed that the tooth in the back was still part of his baby tooth. Thinking the root wasn't all the way out. We'll to my surprise she told me that he could have 3 front teeth? Wow, was I shocked, never heard of that. So brought him in and sure enough he had 3 front teeth coming in. I wish I brought him in sooner because it slightly pushed one of them out a little. so braces could be in the future? So Max, calm and collected got a shot to numb it and they pulled it out. My dentist who usually doesn't do kids said Max is so easy that he'd do it. That kid amazes me sometimes:)

Maxs 6th Birthday

Max and his favorite buddies
The girls made their own section to sit at away from the boys

One of Maxs favorite gifts was his watch

Max had a friend party and also did a family one. We waited till July to celebrate to make sure it was really hot so they could swim all day. His bday is May 9. The kids all look so tan!!

4th of July

This year we celebrated the 4th at our casa! I dont think I ever had so many people in our pool at once. It was refreshing and a fun night for all the kids.

Don Pedro!

These two are cute together!

This summer us and some friends decided to go to Don Pedro Lake. Joseph loves this lake and weve gone there a few times with his cousins. So when we booked the campsites for June. Who would of thought it would rain!! It was still a great family trip but our last day it rained so bad Vandyks boat had a good inch or two inside it. That was our Que to leave! Theres always next year:)

One Year Behind!

Kids and Dirt!!!!!

We'll after not blogging for almost a year, I'm finally back doing it. Life just gets busy and a big part was our Internet service. It took forever to download which can be a nightmare when you have kids! So you'll be seeing old pics until I catch up:) These pics are of this summer in the garden. The kids loved helping me and of course getting dirty. Our garden was way to big, but it was our first time and when the plants are little and in cute rows it doesn't look like a ton of work. I just couldn't keep up in the picking department. We had so many jalapenos and peppers(6 diff. types) that stuffed jalapenos were our "thing" this summer! Next year I'm definitely down sizing:)
