No floaties, No nothing, Matilda and the Ocean

Matilda in the pool

Our beach trip was awesome. This year we went to the Beach Club in Gulf Shores and everyone had a blast. Miss Sheree came with us along with Aunt Jill, TJ, John WIlliam, Chad, and Dustin. I actually cried when it was time to leave.

Fearless

Matilda in line waiting for her turn.
Up, up, and, Away!

Higher Mister

So Matilda wanted her turn on the bouncy bounce at the mall. I thought for sure that she would change her mind but she paid her money, walked on in, and never turned back. This little girl is full of independence !

America's Birthday

The grand finale

On Saturday we celebrated the 4th at False River with lots of family. The kids had a great time playing with the cousins as well as taking a boat ride. On the boat ride Bruen asked if we could stop at Wal Mart to pick up some glue on the way home. I told him that Wal Mart was closed because it was a holiday. Matilda asked "What holiday?". I told her it was the 4th of July. The she said "What is that?". I told her it was America's Birthday. Her next question was " Are we going to go to America's party today?"!!! I told her that we were celebrating it at the camp with our family. How Funny!

Sleeping Mask

My mom and I went to the movies this week to see My Sisters Keeper. When I got home this is what I found in my bed. Does the fact that my four year old sleeps with a sleeping mask mean that I am creating a monster? She is just a LITTLE high maintenance. Enjoy!!!!

Ice Age 3

Today we met Kylie and Rebekah to see Ice Age 3. It was so nice to be in the air conditioning! The kids had a great time and so did Rebekah and I, we talked the whole time. Honestly I could not tell you one thing about the movie. I am pretty sure that the Rave is going to have a sign at the door with our pictures and a slash right through it. I don't think we were too much of a bother. The only people sitting around us were some YOUNG kids on the row behind us making out. Is this what we have to look forward to? Scary!!!!

Love Hate Relationship

I actually sat down to post pictures from our Ice Age 3 outing today but found these pictures from yesterday. I bet you are thinking "How Sweet". I was too when I took them. At that very moment I wanted nine more kids, a dozen! However at this very minute I am considering listing the 4 and 6 year old on ebay. They have been fighting ALL day. Bruen harasses her nonstop and she whines. It is enough to drive me crazy. In fact about thirty minutes ago I told Bruen that I had had it, and I was telling his dad how he had been acting. He followed me around like a puppy begging me not to tell, "Just one more chance". I told him not to talk about it again, thinking he might straighten up. Not ten minutes later I catch him dragging his sister out of "his" spot. Stop take a minute and imagine the screaming!!!! I told him that was it and he was probably going to get a spanking with the belt. As I am sitting here typing I hear him telling her that if she can get me not to tell dad on him he will buy her as many purses as she wants. "FREE", he said. "All will be free, as many as you want". The sad thing is that the little diva would rather see him get beat with the belt than receive all those "Free" purses. I am pretty sure I have a good eighteen more years of this brotherly sisterly love.
