Birthdays fast approaching...

Wow. Not only is July going to be a busy month for the rest of our lives, but expensive! Party planning has been in the works as we are having a small family birthday party for the boys at our home on the 10th, and then Gage is getting his first "Friend" party with a few of his preschool classmates and the neighbor kids he plays with often.
I have ordered a total of 3 birthday cakes, started making lists for present ideas for all 3 boys as well as party supplies (Tim and I get a "date" night tomorrow night to do this fun stuff together), and we just got pictures taken last weekend that I am working on ordering now.
WHEW.

I am excited for it all, of course, and will hopefully get some fun pictures of the parties up on the web sooner than a month after the party is over...

but as you've noticed, the blog has been falling further and further down the ladder of my priorities these days, although it does weigh heavily on my mind.

These are the pictures that I put on the invitations for the party:

The (Painful) Memories...

This whole month has been bringing back so many memories of last summer when I spent the entire month of June just trying to survive the last weeks of my twin pregnancy.

While I was uploading pictures of my last post (T-Ball) I caught myself clicking onto photos from one year ago today. I found this beauty. It was taken on June 14th 2009, just a little over one year ago...

OUCH!

T-Ball

We signed Gage up for T-Ball this year. He is by far the youngest on the team, as the ages are 4-6, and he won't be 4 for another couple of weeks. He is doing really well, though, and we are very proud of him.
His first game was last Saturday, which felt more like an October morning than a mid-June one, but he had his very own cheering section and even got to be the catcher for an "inning". They do not keep score, or count any outs or strikes. Every member of each team gets to bat and run the bases. 3 innings took over an hour...
so I guess it's a good thing they don't count outs or runs.

Early Summer Photos

I have nothing more to say other than "busy" and "I'm sorry" for not making this blog more of a priority. The sun has been out, the babes are on the move, and this mama is making up for an entire lost summer...
therefore we are rarely indoors, and when the house is finally quiet at 8pm or later, the last place I will sit is on the computer (other than tonight, of course!)

Here are a few photos of my family, so you can see how much the boys have grown since my last photo update nearly 2 months ago. (Oh, and I cut my hair off and will most likely be going shorter....thanks to some encouragement from my Beezatch ladies on our last night out!)

Hope your June is going well!

Gage wanted green eggs and ham but settled for just green eggs. He loved them, and seemed to love me for making them!

My first kayak experience. I LOVED it! I wish I had one. And I wish I had a lake to paddle on.
