Getting Ready for Another Birthday

 Hudson has been counting down the days until his birthday. He got so excited when a birthday package from Mamas and Papaw.
 The shirt is a little big, but he didn't care...he wears it all the time :) He loves city skylines!
 They also found a really cool book (that he's been sleeping with) that has all these different skylines from around the world and then tells about each one.

 Well, this girl is studying birds and she is determined to see one.
 Regan had another competition. She's out their somewhere ;)
 How do you pass the time while you wait for your turn to compete? Play cards with your little sisters...
 ...and talk to all the little kids that want to talk to their teacher/coach :)
 Lauren spent several hours preparing a Bible story and several crafts to do with these cuties.
 I think she overestimated how much they could do in a short time...it ended up being a 2 week lesson ;)
 Katherine and her studies had her buying some flowers at the market. She came home with them and my first thought was that they looked just like her. Dark red/maroon is her all time favorite color. Don't let the knife scare you...apparently she needed it for the plant dissection...haha!
 This is how we do school sometimes. He's the only one that can still fit in the chair with me...Shadow didn't want to miss out on learning about American Indian history.
 Our neighbor...our puppies sister had puppies of her own. So cute!
 Hudson :)
 Lauren held all three at he same time :) Interesting....their sister is solid black and all of the puppies were brown.
 With the cooler weather, we are doing more and more school outside when possible.  We are loving the 80's!!
 Lauren and her buddies
 Having some fun at a park nearby....my kids are getting so big.
 Sunset at the park
 Regan was and is the only one who could ever convince Hudson that he can try to crawl through this.
 Technically, he made it through...but a little unconventional...he refused to bend his knees and ended up stretch all the way through. He only used his arms. Funny kiddo
 The new Coke display
 Katherine was super excited about her teeny tiny little green bean starting to grow. We can't wait to eat them!
 Look who is riding like a pro!! Finally, no training wheels! Great job, Hudson!!
 He can down fully enjoy family bike rides.
 These two may fight, but they also have some super sweet moments. I'm so glad that I had my phone to catch it before they rode away again.
 Selfie Time
 Phineahas LOVES the puppies!
 Her zucchini is also starting to grow.
 This is the excited face of a girl who finally opened one of her presents...she got seeds (which she knew)...but SUPER EXCITED when she realized that she had FIFTY different kinds of flowers!!!
 The only flower that she planted at the same time as her veggies...the sunflower is definitely a fun flower to watch grow.
 Birthday Skype with Grandmommy
 He got another cool shirt! He is a huge Mario fan and has gotten several compliments on the shirt every time he wears it.

 It's time to pick a green bean!
 Lauren and her friend Qian Qian had a play date. They practically had the whole place to themselves.
 Love the smiles


 Sweaty girls...who decide that pony tails were not as pretty as having their hair down :) I guess she's growing up!
 Walking the Pearl in support of Holston...a little boy that goes to Auntie Em's church and is fighting leukemia.
 Katherine said that Cucumber loves belly rubs....I'm not so sure, but at least she tolerates it :)
 The first two green beans...and yes, we cooked them!
 The snow peas are ready as well!
 so tiny ;)
These two were enjoying some Full House episodes and eating snacks in the most comfortable chair ever! (and yes, that's all of our laundry...the dryer broke AGAIN!)
