Family Pics Aug 2015

 

These 4 horizontal ones of the Kid's I'll definitely be framing! 

Just being cute with Daisy! :) She tried tasting it and didn't like that hahaha

funny serious faces lol 

Looking for ladybugs in the grass! 

A fun different edit for this pic :) 

I absolutely LOVE how our familiy pics turned out!!! I'm so thrilled!! we seriously took them in less than 10 mins! Probably a world record! haha we were being quick because we were trying to squeeze in huckleberry picking too. Kandice (Lee's SIL married to his bro Robert) took our family pictures for us and then I took her and Robert's Pics! :) After pictures we went home changed and headed up to huckleberry picking! Even Maylee was picking huckleberries but she was picking and eating them herself lol it was so darn cute I wish I had my camera with me so I could've taken pictures darn it. Drake was also picking and eating haha The older two were doing about half and half haha we were a little late in the season going to pick so it was kinda slim pickings but we still managed to get  a pretty good amount about a 1/4 of a gallon size ziploc! That will make us plenty of  huckleberry milkshakes since a few berries go a long way! 

It was a great Sunday afternoon and evening with family! 

UPDATE! I retook some pics of Landon and Zeke so these will be the four pics I'll put on my wall

Here are some of the pics I got while retaking more pics of Zeke hahaha he's such a little stinker I  love it! These show his personality perfectly lol

LOVE this last one! You can see his cute little freckles! haha

4th of July

We've been busy this summer and it seems like the summer is just flying by! SLOW DOWN SUMMER!!!

4th of July we hung out with Lee's brother and his wife. The plan was to have my sister in law take our family pictures on our way up to Horseshoe lake but we didn't find the perfect spot like we were hoping but we managed to get these at the lake...

Those pics were as good as it got. Then everyone went swimming and had fun and we didn't get fully dressed to try more pictures after swimming. Darn. That just means I'll be rescheduling family pics with my sis in law soon haha Landon was the only one who would hold still long enough to let her take a good close up pic. :) I wish I had some of the others.

Swimming was great at horseshoe lake. the horse flies were pretty bad but my doterra oil bug spray kept them away really well! LOVE that stuff! Maylee was having the time of her life in the water splashing and crawling around. The water was nice and warm and then we started seeing BIG FAT DISGUSTING LEECHES!!!!!!!!! no joke. That got us out of the water fast. They were just in the nice warm shallow area of the lake where it was perfect for maylee to play but obviously we got out after they started showing up :( the boys kept swimming out towards the middle of the lake and had fun and were unscathed by the leeches. 

after horseshoe lake we went back home and laid around and hung out until it was time to go watch fireworks! :) It was a fun fourth. 

Kindergarten Graduation!

 I'm finally updating my blog! wow! It only took me 9 months. Whoops!

Last Thursday 6/4/15 Landon had his last day of school and Kindergarten Graduation! He loves school and can't wait to go back and be in First Grade! 

 Love the cowboy boots sticking out from under his robe haha 

They had a cute little program at the high school auditorium and sang songs and had parts they each went up to the microphone and said. Landon's part was " A says a like Andy Apple" He did great! I recorded it on my camera but it's too big to share on here...I tried lol This pic is a pic of him and everyone in his B-day class (tues thursday and friday afternoon). A-day is on the other side of the stage. 

After the little program there was treats in the cafeteria. It was really cute watching all these little kindergartners running around in caps and gowns! haha

Meeting her Brother's Maylee's first day home!

Here is Maylee's first day home! I'm trying to catch up in blog posts so I'm going to do a little here and there so it's not so overwhelming cuz I have A LOT of pictures of her first couple weeks lol.

Drake meeting Maylee 

 

I love how little babies always look in their carseats wheen they're brand new.  

Zeke holding Maylee. He got to have his turn first! He was so excited she was finally home! The boys didn't get to see her in the hospital because children under 18 weren't allowed to go up to the mother baby unit because of the Enterovirus going around. So they had only seen pictures and a video up until now! (Sadly Landon was at school so he had to wait until he was out of school to see her.)

Drake's turn! He just loved her. It doesn't look like it but he was smitten. He through a fit until it was his turn to hold her and then he didn't want to give her up.  

GG's turn! 

Drake decided it needed to be his turn again 2 seconds after GG got the baby haha this is a frequent occurrence in our house! haha 

Zeke's turn again since his turn was cut short the first time.

Yay Landon's home from school and ready for his turn! He was so excited! My mom and the other two boys went and walked him home from school and when he came in the house the first thing he did was ask for Maylee cuz he wanted to hold her! So cute! I just love how much these boys love their baby sister!

First attempt at getting a picture of all three boys and Maylee....Yeah didn't happen cuz Drake was upset he wasn't holding the baby and then he was too offended to want to hold her for another attempt at a picture so we put him to bed lol They all have matching Big Brother shirts.

So we tried again with just the two older boys and these were the best we got haha 

 Big Brother's and their Maylee Belle! 

I just looooove the picture of Landon and Maylee. He is such a good big brother.

GG and her grandbabies! 

I just love the pictures I've seen with babies and their hospital bracelets on. So naturally I needed one of the three of us and our hospital bracelets. Daddy Mommy and Maylee. 

In my last post I mentioned that Maylee was born with skin tags that looked like extra fingers! Well here's the proof. 

 Maylee's Right hand and extra finger!

Maylee's left hand and extra finger! 

Crazy right?! haha who knows why my kids like to grow extra fingers (Zeke had an extra skin tag too)  luckily they're easily removed and don't require a surgery or anything crazy. Maylee had her's removed at her 3day check up. They just tied a string around the base of each one to cut off the blood flow and then cut it off  and cauterized the end of it. She didn't seem overly upset about it. She was more mad that they were holding her hand still then anything else. They seem to be healing up just fine but the one on her left hand they didn't trim it close enough to her hand so we might have to get that one re done but we'll see.

Well, I need to go and do some serious cleaning in my Kitchen while Maylee and Drake are both still asleep it's a disaster zone thanks to the kid who likes to throw his food when he's done with it and dump out cups of water or juice if they're left out on the table *sigh*...Drake!
