Corn Maze 2010

We were able to go to the corn maze last weekend. This has become our favorite Fall tradition! You wouldn't think wandering around a corn field would be considered "fun" but seriously it is! Probably will be more fun when everyone walks on their own but that's not gonna stop us! :) I started posting pics but think I'll put a slide show up instead. Too many pictures I wanted to share!

Ummmm yes Icky did turn a year....a month ago!!

Sorry a month behind I guess! But his birthday did come and go! What a hoot this boy is!! We think Cani Bear is a mess....he may have met his match!! Icky is pretty rotten though too! :) He is big-fat- and lazy and likes to be held! So not even an attempt at walking yet! But he can climb on anything and everything! He is still having a tough time adjusting to Big C being in school all day but it is getting a little better. But just as tough for Big C too. Last week was a busy week and I overheard Big C tell Icky "goodmorning buddy I missed you yesterday I didn't see you all day!" :) I love seeing their bond it makes me all warm inside!

School Days School Days.....

And just like that another school year begins!!

Big C started HIGH SCHOOL!! Holy Cow where is time going??
Red- started 7th grade
Sqeaks- big man on campus...5th grade
Cani Bear- 2nd
and Sweet Sue Bee well we could have put her in PK but just couldn't part with her just yet!! Didn't u see above I said Big C started High School!! I was just dropping him off at PK! I won't give my kids up an extra year probably ever again!! So she stays home and isn't missing a beat!

So here they all are heading off to start a brand new year!!!

Kissing Summer 2010 Goodbye!!

How did I not already post one of our favorite traditions?? This is our end of Summer shaving cream fight for 2010!!! As always fun was had by all!!

















You were great to have around, made for some fun times and we will be anxiously awaiting your return in June!!

Icky 11mo

Well guess what that means...birthday planning time! Hard to believe!
He is a funny little man baby. Our biggest problem is going to be when Big C starts school in a couple weeks. Icky is absolutely spoiled rotten by him and LOVES him!! He much prefers bubbie over ANYONE else! When C was gone the other day I heard Icky just "talking" away when I went to see what he was doing he was talking to a picture of C. He pretty much just jabbers but you know when he says "ball" and he can throw em too! He is pulling up and cruising a little but HATES falling to sit back down and shows NO intrest in walking anytime soon! Does he really need to he knows there are plenty of people to take him where he needs to go! He loves the pool and we found out he loves the beach too! He is a pretty easy going guy and goes with the flow. Just as long as his big brother doesn't walk in and not pick him up or get out of the van or walk upstairs without him. :) I smile but I'm not exaggerating either!

Port A

2 weeks ago we hooked up the pop up and headed to the coast! We all had a great trip! Icky LOVED the water (a little TOO much) he kept trying to crawl into it. There was a tropical storm in the gulf so tides were high and by our last day the water had a bunch of yuck in it. But still we had fun! Would love to go back again in the Fall







As much as I'm trying to ignore it school is quickly approaching :(
I registered the younger 3 school aged kids this week and Big C will reg on Monday. Red signed up for Spirit squad so she had practice this week. We planned Squeeks summer perfect first week Disney World last week camp. So as we dread the start of school she still has an awesome week ahead of her! We decided to keep Sue Bee home again this year. I always thought she'd "NEED" preschool this year but she doesn't need it for socialization and I am going to just work on writing and PK activities to make sure she is where she needs to be for Kinder. But the main reason we know how fast the years are flying by and I'm just not willing to give up my last yr having her home with me! Most think I'd be counting the days til school starts and put as many kids as possible in PK but I'm complete opposite I HATE SCHOOL!! :) So I got school supplies registered them but I'm throwing it all in the closet and ignoring that Summer is ending until Aug. 22nd!!

Icky 10mo

OK so I missed a couple months.... sorry!! Icky went to the Dr Wed for a check up. He weighed 23lbs 4oz not sure how accurate that is since he was 23lbs 8oz in May?? But he was 30in long still a big boy but finally growing up and not out. He is crawling all over and decided last Friday to pull up on the side of the bath tub. He's done it a couple more times but nothing regular. He has a mouth FULL of teeth I think 7 as of today. He is a SPOILED ROTTEN baby! Most kids this age cry if mom or dad leave the room or walk outside. Not here he throws a fit if he even hears Big C's voice and he doesn't pick him up and hold him. He much prefers him over anybody else. Not sure what people are going to think when he goes to class with his brother in a back carrier! When he was born someone at the hospital called him a man baby... he is just that a little man. Just rough and tough and just a BOY!! :) So much fun but not a cuddley sweet little baby expect to be slapped bit and a baby that just wants down! Oh and just as cute as can be!!

This picture was actually taken camping June 5th!! So he was 9mo here!!
