RRRIIIIIIBBBBBIIIIITTTTT!

Our home is surrounded by frogs, especially after it rains! You can find them under rocks, in holes, and simply hopping down the street. The boys love playing with the frogs (of course). Mommy will only let them play with it for so longe before she makes them let the it go.... this is for the frog's sake of course. There is quite a bit of truth to the phrase -- Loved it to death -- literally.

Don't worry -- this frog was spared -- at least for this day!

Belton Birthday Bash

Our new favorite Belton hangout (other than gramma's house) -- the old youth center where mommy played basketball from 3rd grade to 8th grade was totally renovated into a community center complete with waterpark and playground.

This place was awesome. An entire outdoor water sprinkler park.Braxton and Baeden had so much fun running through all the sprinklers. Holt was a fan of the mega-size playground next door, and Little Miss Teal was happy anywhere we propped her up.

One of Baeden's favorite hobbies is skateboarding.... YES, at 2 years old he is a "skater". He has been using Braxton's oversized, beat-up skateboard for the past few months and gramma thought he deserved has very own smaller hot wheels skateboard, complete with helmet and knee pads of course. Mommy is very impressed with his sense of balance. For just turning two, Baeden is very sure-footed. Some may think that skatboarding is very goofy-nerdy kids, but I can now attest to the fact that it takes alot of coordination and strenghth. Some of the highschool kids in our neighborhood have built a ramp and riding rail and impress us with their extensive "tricks". Mommy just knows she will walk out one day and see Baeden out there on the rails -- no matter how much she wants to hold him back.

NO THIS IS NOT A BABY PICTURE OF BRITTNEY!

This blue-eyed beauty is Little Miss Teal. She is the spitting image of her beautiful blue-eyed mommy. With 3 older boys, this little girl has melted our hearts. We can't wait to shower her in pink frills and rhinestones.

Holt has the cutest "cheese face". He was very excited as we cut the cake and served up the icecream at the Birthday Bash.

Since Baeden and Aunt Brittney are both June babies, we had a big birthday bash with the family. Happy Birthday to Brittney and Baeden. We look forward to this summer tradition.
