What We've Been Up To Lately

"Just Dance"ing, and just sweating up a storm.

Photobucket

Leaving Derek's uneaten breakfast on the kitchen floor hoping he'll come by and eat it while he plays. I should just leave a bowl of water out for him too.

Photobucket

Discovering that we have a huge hydrangea plant in the side yard and using them to brighten up the home.

Photobucket

Wiping the drool off our faces while counting the 100+ baby avocados growing on the tree.

Photobucket

Still playing with alphabet puzzle pieces I bought for Audrey from the Target dollar bin when she was a toddler. And we still haven't lost one! Miracle.  Probably the best dollar I ever spent on the kids.

Photobucket

Leaving Big D in just his diaper because I love seeing the soft buttery curves of his rock-hard baby muscles.

Totally milking the backyard this summer

I love how Auj had to change into her bathing suit so she could dip her feet in the baby pool.

Photobucket

Photobucket

The front patio is getting some good action lately too

Photobucket

Collaborating on chalk art

Photobucket

Crying about having to collaborate

Photobucket

Doing push-ups simultaneously to fight off the chalk art blues

Photobucket

Pouring himself into his work by way of strained eyebrows

Photobucket

Needing a bath after every chalk session

Photobucket

Photobucket

Wrapping dusty little chalked up arms around Mama

Photobucket

Taking the older kids on long after-dinner rides along the bike path behind our house

Photobucket

Cheering on the Champ because he's really started to steer better and pedal harder

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Admiring sunsets and my daughter's love of outdoor sweating

Photobucket

Trekking up to the bridge to catch trains pass by underneath

Photobucket

Making the return trip with full moons guiding us back home

Photobucket

Photobucket

Celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary!!!

Photobucket

Watching my not-so-new husband enjoy delicious food while recalling the most memorable times of our marriage thus far.

Photobucket

There's more celebrating to come as we go on a weekend getaway in a few weeks. Can't wait to have this guy to myself for a couple days.

Photobucket

Lastly, witnessing the kids' first duet.   It cracks me up because this idea was 85% their doing with 15% help and guidance from me. Enjoy!

Say Yes To Crack

I guess he's technically not a baby anymore, especially because his muscle density is more than most men I know.

Photobucket

But I have a feeling that even when his body building ministry goes worldwide, we'll still be calling him our baby.

Photobucket

During one of his shows, where he rips phone books for the Lord, Mike and I will be in the stands cheering him on.

Photobucket

We'll be doing fist pumps and give each other high-fives while yelling into a megaphone, "Oh yeah, that's our baby! You go ahead and flex your biceps for Jesus, son!  We are so proud of you!"  (By the way, don't be jealous of my beautiful mess in the background.)

Photobucket

I'm not sure what this post is about except that I was doing dishes one day and noticed that Derek's diaper was getting loose.

Photobucket

And this mama don't give up opportunities for good baby butt crack photos.

Photobucket

Believe me, I've got some good ones on file because it turned out to be quite the photo shoot.  But they aren't very appropriate for the worldwide web and they may diminish the dignity of his muscle man ministry in the future.  But if you ever come over to our house, I'll show them to you in person.  Hee hee.
