My Sister's Trip

Last week was busy but very fun. My sister and my niece came to visit. I picked them up with the three youngest kids in Nashville and our new GPS (I'm still getting used to!) brought us home some back hills route. It was twisty, but beautiful and we got to pass the most confederate looking house I've ever seen! It had flags hanging from evey window, and two guys on the front porch with rifles (well, mabe I'm embellishing a bit on the rifles) stared at us as we passed by. It was pretty funny.

We spent the rest of the week visting the boys baseball games, shopping and making bows for our little babies. (a first for me...Kirs were much cuter than mine.) She had twin girls in January, so she made double. I didn't do much homework while she was here, so Dan drove them back on Saturday with all the kids so I could study. I've survived two weeks of school so far....I think I'll keep it up and go for three!

My niece Starly played with her little cousins a lot. She's almost thirteen, and I was impressed by how patient she was with them. The boys keep asking me when she is coming back! :)

Today Dan and I are trying to get a few things done around the house. I still have a lot of homework to catch up on too.....so I better run. Oh, I forgot to mention that Logan has four loose teeth, Owen isn't screaming as much lately (he talks a lot!), Lincoln is a sweetheart, and Ellie is really close to crawling! She ate a waffle today too. She's breaking four more teeth so she's chewing on everything! Well, in my usual fashion I've taken a ton of pics, so here they are! Oh, and I added even more on my photoblog of course! :)


My little thrill seeker!

Humoring me.


Pretty girl!


Starly and Ellie!


Had to try some barbeque while they were here.


Logans end of the year kindergarten show. They sang some cute songs and got some candybar awards. Logan got the 'Mr. Goodbar Award' for being such a good friend to the boys and especially the girls, his teacher said. :)


His class. :( It was kind of sad to see his first year of school end. I think he didn't realize that his class wouldn't be the same next year and now he's a little sad about it.



Linc's game. I loved this picture and added the big version of it on my photo blog!




First real game. It was more like football than baseball. hee hee hee.




Kir with Ellie.


More Starly and Ellie.




A few attempts at a picture of us girls. This was the best we could do! I have to take the blame because I never know what to do infront of the camera. I feel like an idiot just staring at it. Ah well!
