Mostly Tinkerbellerina

Okay, here is Tinkerbellerina, Tink, Tinkerbell, Belle, Bella, Bellerina, Isabella, whatever her name is that day. :)

Do you see those sweet little teethies?

She was talking.
Now you can really see those teeth!

She is such a happy baby!
She is getting soo big! She soo has her daddy's blue eyes! She looks alot like her daddy!

This one just makes me laugh!So, Gram has this huge rubber ducky and it has always been one of my kids favorite toys to play with over there. It has been a bucking ducky and many other things, this time it was just a stationary ducky. :)
She is such a social little thing. She loves to smile and talk and wave and clap!
I so see her brothers and sister in her in this picture!
My mom has a pug whose name is Missy. Julie is sure she is her dog and chases her around, pets her and says, "dog,dog,dog" everytime she sees her. It is soo cute. We are still working on soft petting... in this picture she was super excited and saying, "dog, dog, dog".

Petting her dog, Missy really is a very nice dog!! Sorry Missy!
She has her Papa smitten with her! She thinks he is pretty swell too! When he came home she sat down (she was standing) and scooted while doing squishy face to him. He HATED that!
So, yes, the other kids were at Gram's too. I have to post a couple of them. I think I have given your Belle dose by now!

Here is Julie's new photo pose. She practices all the time so that when I get the camera out she is practiced up! LOL
What a killer smile!! Does he remind anyone else of Wes and Hannibal?
So the kids started wrestling with Papa, this is the extent that Noah got involved. He would run around them jumping and squealing, but never actually get in on the action! :) Oh! He had to strip to his underwear, because at our house you wrestle in your underwear!

Gabe was sure he could take Papa, he was even talking some smack to him. I think this picture clearly shows that Papa can still take him! Julie was in on it, but by the time I got the camera out she had run away! :)

Chalk in the evening.

So when our sweet daddy got home last it was perfect outside. So we went outside to draw on the sidewalks.

I think it is so cute....artists in action.

Here are some hearts that Julie drew.

A person that Gabe drew. Kinda looks like this guy has a combover. :)

Noah is on the railroad tracks drawing a car for dad.
This is what Julie wrote. I ♥ U!!!!
She is such a little sweetheart!
Here she is telling Dad about the giant ant she drew.

Is he not the cutest!?!Done drawing and about to head for bed.
I realize that Belle is not in any of these pictures. She was asleep both times I got the camera out today. Will remedy that today. :)

A day at home.

So I got into the picture taking mood yesterday. The kids just looked so cute! Here is my handsome 5 year old. Really it is hard to believe he is that old already.No, Julie is not throttling herself, this is her "pose" she has been practicing. :)
I kinda like this one, I think I will keep him.
So then Julie caught the picture taking bug. She had to take pictures of me making her dress.
Then she wanted a picture of her with it on and doing a pose. LOL!

I think Gabe took this one.

I am so thankful for my two boys. They bring so much joy to our lives!
I pray that they grow to be Godly men. I don't care what they choose to do as long as the follow Christ with their whole heart, soul and mind.

Father's Day

I feel so blessed to have Toby as the father of our children! He is a man who is concerned with what God wants and is always such a wonderful Godly example to our children! He is the greatest in the whole world! I know alot of people say that, but I know I am right!! :D This year we did something special for dad! We got him a camper for his present. It is a 1975 Kit Companion. Excellent condition! 19 feet long, full bathroom, stove, oven, furnace, air conditioner, sink, and enough beds for all 6 of us very comfortably!! We are so excited to go camping as a little family. I like the idea of.....if it rains, we all don't have to huddle inside a tent and try not to touch the sides. :) We can now go inside, get some dinner, play some card or board games at the table. Toby is in hog heaven and it makes my heart so glad to see him so happy about it! We are hoping to use it sometime next week! I will post pictures as soon as it gets back over here to our house. (He was sealing the roof so that we won't have any leaking problems. :)

To my dad,
Dad, I love you and even though you didn't have to adopt me and love me as your own you did. I would never trade you for anything! I hope you had a wonderful Father's Day and know that I miss you.
Love, Cass

Julie and Noah

This is at Gram's house. Julie thought this wig was GREAT!! Totally made me laugh!Noah wants to be just like daddy and that means wearing his fishing hat too! :)
Jujubee crashed out in the recliner! She is still soo precious, even at 4. :)
Doesn't look to comfy to me, but what do I know....

Kid's fishing.

Last Tuesday the kid's fishing pond by our house opened. Our cousins, Taeya and Marlee, Aunt Shyla and my little brother, Davy, accompanied them fishing. I stayed home with Noah and Belle. When Noah woke up and realized they had gone without him, he was sooo mad!! Anyway, they had a great time and caught a very large rainbow trout, 4 other fish, 1 carp and a turtle! :) Davy was the turtle catcher. Here are some pictures of the delicious fish, which we ate on Father's Day!

Toby, Gabe and Julie, yes, they all love fishing!

Marlee, I don't think she wanted to touch the fish!
Taeya
Gabe, I love the cheesy smile and finger point!!

Here is my Jules, she is so my little tomboy! Her dad really likes that!
Davy, our turtle catcher! He was a little sad he only caught a carp ( a garbage fish he told me) and a turtle, but I think he still had a good time!

The guys! Notice Marlee hugging on Julie! They kinda like each other!
Taeya again, this fish that everyone got there picture with, my Gabe caught! He reminds me so much of his daddy!
Julie and Marlee, how super cute is this!?! If you look close there is a little fish on the pole. :)

Sounded like everyone had a great time! Thanks everyone for coming and thank you my handsome man for being such a good dad, uncle, and brother-in-law! I am so proud you are my husband!!

Life

I don't have any pictures to post right now, but thought I would just put a little post up anyway. The biggest change is in our little Tinkerbell. She is pulling herself to standing, left and right. She claps and does squishy face All the time!! She is such a happy little baby and just as big as you please! Noah is potty-trained and uses the big potty now. Yes, mom has to clean the bathroom twice in a day, since standing up to pee is necessary, but hitting the water isn't. :) Julie is having so much fun having Marlee here to play with. Until now, she hasn't had a girl to play with. They are super cute together. Gabe is just growing like a weed! He went camping and fishing with Toby. They had a good time until Gabe got sick. I will post some new pictures soon.

Julie's New Haircut!

So....Julie has been begging me to buzz her hair with the boys. I didn't do that, but I did cut her hair shorter. Thankfully her hair is a little curly...very forgiving.I think she looks so cute with it like this.
When I finished, she looked in the mirror and said,"I look like a different person!" She LOVED it! It makes her look so much more grown up to me. Wow, where does the time go?

I soo love all my little family members!
