S Club Mama

I told you all about my sisters' tattoos. What I didn't tell you is that since they didn't ask me to get matching tats with them, that I decided to get my own. I wanted to share cake pictures with you from the birthday party. It wasn't what I wanted but it turned out pretty cute. And this way all the kids (except Squirt) got to take home a toy. Poor kid got jipped; we didn't even get him a present (I just kind of forgot plus he's getting something cool for his actual birthday). We got a picture of Great-grandma Maxine with all of the great-great grandkids. I wish we could get one with the great grandkids too but it's almost impossible to get all of us together. Two of my cousins live out of state (Utah and Oklahoma) and my oldest cousin is next to impossible to get to family functions (and apparently he's moving to Texas with his girlfriend so make that impossible instead of next to). And I thought this was a cute picture of Squirt with his Auntie ...

We made it back to my parents' yesterday around 10:30, just in time for the town's jubilee parade to start. Moose got a lot of candy (that he doesn't really know what to do with). It was adorable to watch him pick it up piece by piece - when he wanted to; mostly he just wanted to be up on Big A's shoulders. The weather did not cooperate. I'd seen that it was supposed to be upper 70s there - it was more like lower 60s. I did not pack for that weather. I'd dressed the boys in tank tops, I had flip flops on. Luckily my mom at least had t-shirts for the boys & jeans she'd gotten them. I borrowed a jacket from my sisters. After the parade, we headed on over to the football field where they were holding races & such. The little kids' shoe kick was first. I asked Moose if he wanted to and he told me "noooo" but he did. He kicked it probably about a foot or foot and a half. So cute. Big A did the shoe kick too but I missed it because I had ...

First off, I apologize for the lack of pictures of my kids recently. Last weekend, Big A decided to see if the camera could swim. It couldn't. So I've been without a camera to capture the cuteness that is Squirt and Moose. I just hope this kid doesn't decide to crawl while we are without (I guess I do have a video camera which would work better but still). Today is an exciting day! Big A is FINALLY going to go to the Lincoln's Children's Museum with us! We LIVED in Lincoln and he never went with us (granted we only went once while living there but I think the boys - or at least Moose - and I have gone 2-3 times). It's going to be a wonderful-good day (can you tell I've been reading Beverly Lewis?). Too bad we won't have any camera to capture fun moments...but we'll just have to live in the moments today. So I hope you all have great weekends. Anyone else have big plans (and yes, a children's museum is big plans for us haha)?
