my new shades...

We don't want little man to squint and hurt his eyes so we made a trip to Backcountry and found these cool shades! Ollie can chew, bend, bite, and reverse them and they stay like new! For those of you who are looking for a great way to protect those little eyes, I highly recommend these! He kept them on and there is a nice head strap. Enjoy!

belle & max...

Isabelle put on her dance costume to ride Max and get pictures. Riding bareback is a little scary for her but she did well! We thought the tulle would compliment Max well!

wild man...

So Oliver has officially gone from calm, relaxed fourth child to a complete WILD MAN!! He is crawling everywhere, pulling himself up to stand (as of July 2, 2008) and saying Mama as if it is going out of style. He said Mama for the first time on June 25, yes, my birthday!!! What a sweet monkey, and I DO mean monkey, in more ways than one. So, he was 20 lbs and 27 in. on his last visit (2 weeks ago) and he is eating hot dogs, pizza crust, baby puffs, chicken nuggets, etc. The one thing he does not care for is cantalope. I give him tiny bites and I guess he dislikes the texture. He makes a TERRIBLE face!! More to come...

little dancers...

Here are the girls at the dance recital and dressing up in their new "pettiskirts." I tried to get them to be as natural as possible but Isabelle had to pose them how she wanted! Isabelle takes her pettiskirt with her even to her grandma's house. It is her pride and joy (for now :))
