On the 27th:
Sabrina and I took the kids to bowling. Sherri we missed you! :(
Eli doing a victory dance.
Tucker is the easiest baby. He can go and enjoy a whole day with the big boys. Love you sweet boy! You will always be special in Aunt Eha's heart!
The 28th:
Brought my small get together for my birthday. Sabrina will not be here for my birthday on the 10th so she gave me a small party where I was surrounded by all of my children I love and adore! Some were missing...but we had a house full!
Silly String is a blast!
Mikey has really gotten into the water the past few swim days. :)
And he always makes this unsure face. Cracks me up!
Mikey and I started playing this game he made up and now he has everyone play it with him. He jumps to you from the steps and you must take him down to the ladder. He will then climb up the ladder and you have to swim as fast as you can to the steps because he is coming FAST to jump in. And you better be there!
I love this photo of Sabrina with her boys. Her face looks so sweet. What a dear woman she is to me. We just have so much fun and she knows my heart inside and out! She even puts up with my fits! HEE HEE! And I had a major blowup before the party over a cake with Matthew. LONG STORY! Anyway, it is nice when you have someone who knows you and they love you any way! It is a perfect example of Christ's love in my opinion. :) And he makes only a few of these people for you in a lifetime. Enjoy them when you find them. Treat them with lots of love and respect. And never take them for granted. They make up for the crap others may put you through. They make life sweeter!
Matthew shot this of me by the pool...not HALF bad!
Sabrina had went to nap with Tucker, the baby. I had Mikey with me swimming. The little fella fell asleep in the pool with me walking him around! We took his swim trunks off in the water, wrapped him in a towel, and I laid him with his mama for a long nap.
Matthew and the kids had fireworks.
We even had 15 glowsticks in the pool! PRETTY!
My crazy silly boy Eli had all the kids making "cuppy's" which were cups with faces pressed into them with a fingernail. They then floated these in the water and played a strange game. I love kids!
Matthew took me to another movie. I saw the movie "Wanted" and we loved it! This is me with my party hat right before we left. Hee hee...
Sunday the 29th:
We just enjoyed a slow paced day. We had a light summery meal that ended with this!
We also started our puzzle and had a movie night with the boys.
Today the started with me finding this critter in the baby plants we had planted. He had almost eaten them all! YIKES!
The boys made this...they are getting GOOD!
We worked on the puzzle. I only have to start working on it for them to join me. :)
We then made vegan corn dogs. :)
First you cut them up and stick toothpicks in them.
Then you roll them in cornstarch so the batter will stick.
You make up a mixture of:
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all purpose flour
1 TBs sugar
1 Ts salt
1 1/2 cups soymilk
And then you dip!
You need enough HOT HOT HOT oil to cover the baby corndogs and then you fry until golden brown!
Who said that vegetarians couldn't have junk food??? I plan on making these to take to the fair this year. My boys can never have a corn dog but now they can!
All day today we heard a cat making horrible noises. I found the source. A ferile cat trying to eat baby birds and birds pecking the mess out of him! He is a juvenile cat and so pretty! I have tamed so many cats...wonder if he could be?
Looks like someone dropped him off and he is hungry! Ticks me off so bad! Guess we will set out food at night!
Brina is gone now...back home...and we should be back to normal. If you have called or emailed I am getting back to you. It has been a busy 2 weeks! ;)
Remy has had 4 days off of school...don't ask me how I managed that. He cried and told me he wanted it today, so I guess he will be back at it tomorrow. Eli finished his 3rd week (lesson 15) on Friday and today he started his 4th week. He has almost been at it for a month and it still rocks! YAY!

Wow...you have been having lots of fun.
I'm so sorry about bowling. I was going up until the morning of when my Dad called and said he was driving home from IL and would be at the family reunion after all. We hadn't planned on going this year, but there was no way I was skipping if my Dad was going to be there!!! We threw our stuff together and went to Vicki's. We spent Friday night then got up and went to the reunion with them on Sat...Jeff had some patients he had to see on Sat, so he wasn't going. I hated to miss bowling, but we had an amazing weekend. I try to call your cell often, but never get you. Call me sometime so we can get together for a swim day or something.
Happy Birthday! Looks like you had fun, as always!!!
We had someone drop a cat with a nasty plate of food on our doorstep the other day...how funny. We are in the inner city though so it's a bit different bt I thought it was funny that we both had the same thing happen!

Oh I would have went for the reunion over bowling anyday! I have been a bad phone friend lately! :(
Poor Kitty! They could have picked a worse place. *sigh*
Looks like y'all have been having lots of summer fun. Chelita you have such a beautiful smile, and even though you may say that you can pitch fits,(we all can girl) you always look so happy to me. Thanks so much for sharing all of the photos. I always enjoy them.
What a busy few days. I love that picture of you by the pool!
By the way, thanks for posting about your testing sites a while back. I have tested 2 of the kids with math and reading and been pleased with the results. Thanks again.

You have been having a lot of fun recently! And fun with that camera. ;) Swimming and bowling. Your boys have got to love summer fun. And your corn dogs look great! My food limiting disease keeps from ever eating a good corn dog. Oh, well, there are better things to miss than that anyway. You better tell that catterpillar and all his friends to stay away from the garden!
What a PERFECT summer day!
