father's day

we had a busy father's day.
that afternoon we all piled in the car and drove to mooresville, nc for the NC state games championships

andy's race was at 330pm
it was a criterium. . just a 30 min race around the same circuit!
i kept the babies as occupied as possible....was an entertaining task . . didn't take long for liam to let everyone know he wasn't too pleased with the temperature..i don't blame him

so armed with juice boxes, goldfish, yogurt squeeze(s), bubbles, loveys & camera i was well equipped as a mommy could be!
every several minutes andy would pass and we could yell for him

sweet liam boy...flush-faced and not too happy...thankfully the race was almost over!!

daddy blowing lillian a kiss!

cool shot of them blowing by us!

he WON!!

only one more race until he moves to cat 4!

we came home, went to the pool and enjoyed playing the rest of the day

lucy is my first tiny that I've actually bathed in the kitchen sink....she was so funny!
we're of course in love with her sweet personality...fun to watch her be into EVERYTHING!!

another curly headed baby! i'm in love!

oh the rolls!!

sweet lillibug!!

what a fun way to spend father's day!

'burr-day-potty'

so our first blog post in almost three months

we'll start with a riddle

ever played the game mad gab

try this one . . say it slowly

burr day potty

get it?

this is how a two yr old says

today is his burr-day potty . . birthday party

today was Liam's 2nd BIRTHDAY!!

Laughter is the best for everything!!

today . . we laughed at how fast the last two years have evaporated

that we seriously have three children!!! and what joy(and chaos-crazies) they bring to our life

kids make some (i won't say most) things more fun

maybe that's not the way to say it. . . ha

seeing life experienced through your kids eyes makes our life more fun!! there . .

so for liam's burr-day-potty we took a trip to the Columbia Zoo!

(hopefully the next ump-teen photos will make up for the last 3 months)

"mommy" (on the tip of his tongue)

which really means. . pick me up

this is one if the first photos of him that we actually 'see' andy in his face!!

characteristically liam boy, thumb in as a result of lovey in left hand!!

and this is characteristcally lillibug! love the sillys!

we were seeing how many silly faces we could make while waiting in line for a pony ride!

liam affectionately calls our newest additon

"Foosy"

'foosy' hung out in the stroller. . . said hello between her naps!

seriously how are these so presh!! fat tiny feet

lucy wasn't playin . . she took it on with ferocity!

and ate the entire thing!

a sweet end to a day celebrating our liam boy!

he has a special request to sing twinkle twinkle little star every night

then you ask him to pray . . and in his tiny hoarse voice tonight he says

"jesus . . . tea two fa day, mommy, daddy,

foosy, willwi, beawa, boons

mimals, foo, me-na, a burr-day-potty, A-men'

love you presh boy!

as a mommy, i am without words to describe
this tiny-little-big man who has my heart walking outside my body
