Summa Time

Here is the long awaited summer update blog post. A few bullets before the pictures....

• Here is out new favorite website. The more you read the better it gets.
• Joe replaced our fence. He states "I lifted over 4,800 pounds of bagged dry cement.". He is an effing beast (or a big fat liar). You decide
• As we write this blog, we are watching the bachelor. While watching the show, it cuts out to the local news to announce that our county is having a tornado warning. All of the sudden Amy breaks out the baby voice "wah wah waahh, der is a wittle bitty tornado, wah wah wah.....WTF!!!! TURN THE GD BACHELOR BACK ON".
• Joe used to think the girls on the Bachelor were just crazy. Going on a game show to fall in love after meeting some dude for a total of three minutes. But now he thinks the dudes are also big losers. Falling in love with some chick they have met for a total of three minutes. DUDES GET A LIFE, YOU ARE THE PEOPLE THAT GO TO JAIL FOR BEING CREEPY!!!
• FYI - The wind just picked up

And now for the pictures (targeted at our readers who prefer US Weekly over TIME)..

Two years have gone by and similar activities are occuring

We're Gonna Party Like It's Your Birthday

Today was Tommy's third birthday party. He asked for a train birthday party, so a train birthday party is what he got!!

We were so lucky that the forecasted thunderstorms held off and we had a beautiful sunny day!

When all 15 kids (yes I know I am crazy) got there, it was time for a game of musical train. This is similar to musical chairs excepts nobody is eliminated. We didn't want any toddler tears at Tommy's birthday party!

Next it was time for a little game of Pin the Number on the Train.

Then a little juice break.

Pinata time!

Happy Birthday, Tommy!!

Tommy and his daddy...

It was such a great day!!! We love you, Tommy!!

One last picture..."Uncle Katie" sent Kate a new set of wheels for her birthday. Kate hasn't quite figured out how to make it go,so she like to sit in it and dance to the music!

Tommy Turns 3!

Tommy had a great birthday yesterday. The weather was beautiful! Both kids were up at 5:30 and gifts were all opened by 6.

Joe made a great birthday breakfast...chocolate chip pancakes. Then it was scooter time!!! Tommy loves his new scooter!

Then we went for a nice walk with Tillie at Weir Hill. Back at home, Tommy spent the rest of the afternoon "helping" Daddy build the new fence with his new toolbox.

Kate had a great day. She wasn't jealous at all, even with Tommy repeatedly screaming, "It's not your birthday" in her face.


Then it was time for cake!!!

I think we got him all tuckered out!!

Three Strikes You're Out of Here!

Tommy has been working really hard on this.

Now we know who should clean up

Because the boss man says so.....

(you will need to turn up the volume)

Kate's the big ONE - It's PARTY TIME!!!!!

Not only is it the one year anniversy of owning our Honda Accord, but it is also Kate's 1st birthday. It is hard to believe that one year ago today, Amy and I went to Action Cove playground, test drove cars, bought the Accord and had Kate all before 11:25pm. A very productive day.

A few thoughts about Kate

• I always think Kate's birthday is on the 5th or the 3rd. May 5th was the day of the scheduled c-section and she was born so late on the 2nd I always think of it being the 3rd.
• Her eyes are starting to turn from blue to green.
• Her hair is red with curls in the back - we are wondering how curly it will be.
• Tall and skinny - just like a model.
• Along with the red hair comes the red headed temper. She definitely has a strong will and an attitude.
• She is a cuddle bug. Always snuggling up to us.
• She prefers to "sleep" in the big bed with mom and dad rather than in her bed. Her defintion of sleep is snoozing for 10 minutes followed by belly flops on mom and head butts for dad.
• Kate proves that a human being can live only on hot dogs.
• It is hard to believe kate went from a this to:
  
  Amy planned a great birthday party for today. It had a Ladybug theme. Below are some highlights from the party
