Potty time

Joseph brings me a diaper, and says "Mom, I peed. Will you change my diaper?" I think maybe it's time for some potty learning around here.

I'm joining the ladies at Like Mother, Like Daughter for {pretty, happy, funny, real} this week.

Chloe's First Communion Dress was made out of my wedding dress by a wonderful local lady. The dress had been sitting in my parents' basement for almost 10 years, and I decided that this would be a much better use for it. It turned out wonderfully, and Sophie is hoping that it will fit her when it is her turn.

Rhubarb cake is in season! I think that fruit- based desserts are definitely my favorite. Well, maybe they tie with cheesecake :-)  (don't mind Joseph's mosquito bites on his face)

Kevin took this picture a couple of months ago, but it cracks me up every time I see it. Kevin calls it "MC Joey B".

The End of Spring

 Last week, I wanted to take advantage of the irises before they faded, and get some pics of the kids.

This one is a little blurry, but classic Joseph grin.

Sophie has been getting overly confident, trying to pick Max up.

Sophie and her wild hair- it matches her personality :)

Look at those dimples!

I can't believe spring went by so quickly. It was an odd one, with the weather swinging back and forth between unseasonably warm and unseasonably cold.

 Now, just a week later, the irises have faded, and summer is "officially" here.

 The irises have a licorice- like scent, that I have never noticed before.

Max thinks that the sole purpose of going outside is to eat whatever he can grab and shove in his mouth before someone catches him.

"What sort of mischief can I find now, mother?"

Max likes to suck on his lower lip- it is cute, but possibly something I may want to discourage, less it become a bad long term habit.

I love the action pictures on the swings.

Isaac arrived home from tee-ball in time to get in on the fun.

Max was "cat crawling" trying to stay up off the grass.

Just before landing.

Max noticed Kevin and made a beeline for him.

 Almost there!

Welcome summer, goodbye spring.
