photo dump

We've got another photo dump, folks.  I'm apologize to those of you that don't like these kind of posts.  The thing is, I take tons of pictures, but none of them really deserve a post of their own.  So, here are our last few weeks in pictures.  Enjoy!

Evelyn played for the first time at the mall this week.  She LOVED it.  We've been to the mall a bunch recently, due to some yucky weather.  What else can you do with three kids that doesn't cost any money?  Exactly.

Ah, another free activity.  Letting the kids spend 30 minutes looking at books in the Target section while I peruse a magazine or facebook on my phone.  

Snuggling with my little chickadee right after her nap.

The boys and I went to the pool on a Saturday afternoon while David stayed home with Evelyn while she napped.  There wasn't another soul there!  It was fantastic.  I love that my kids are old enough to play and swim alone so I can catch a few minutes of chill time.  It doesn't take me long to hop in and play with my boys though.  They are so much fun.

Camden got a new backpack this year... 2nd grade is just around the corner!

Love these buddies.

More playtime at the mall.

Oma with her youngest granddaughter.  Love this picture!!!

Anderson fell asleep while holding his treasure chest.  I love that he is ALL boy.

Speaking of boys, I have loved having some GIRLY stuff around these parts.  I found this plate on clearance back in February at Target for like 25 cents.  Yes!

I went into Evelyn's closet (which is really used as more of a storage closet) the other day to look for something and saw this - I had totally forgotten about it!!!  She has LOVED it ever since I got it out.  Got this thing for like $4 at a consignment sale when Anderson was a baby.

I know this was just good timing on my part, but I adore this picture I captured of Anderson and Evelyn the other night.  This girl really loves her big brothers, no doubt about it.

David and I really like sweets.  We've been obsessed with Blue Bell Pecan Pralines and Cream for the last several months.  It's absolutely amazing.  Pair it with a few episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S and you've got a great evening.

David and Camden went to a Durham Bulls game while Anderson, Evelyn and I went to Chick-fil-A.  David sent me this picture, right as I was about to take a picture of Anderson in front of a bull, too!  Crazy, huh?  They even have the exact same pose!

Evelyn's practicing with the walker... I wonder when she'll decide to finally take the plunge and walk.  Camden was 11 months, Anderson was 13.  We'll see!

We met Uncle Will, Aunt becca, AK and Benjamin for froyo a few nights ago.  These cousins are such buddies!

Mmm... raisins!

Anderson has loved practicing his letters and basic letter/number skills on starfall.com.  I totally recommend it if you have a preschooler that loves to learn!  

This isn't just a picture of Anderson swimming.  It's a picture of Anderson with his head in the water.  That's HUGE, people!  My crazy, mostly fearless little boy has never been fearless or crazy in the water.  He hates getting his head or face wet.  He has finally started putting his head in the water like this and swimming backwards.  Progress!

This picture makes me laugh.  Silly girl.

Camden made this "seal" out of Model Magic.  That stuff is amazing, and 100 times better than playdoh!

Sweet siblings.

Goofy Anderson.

Again, playing at the mall.

Anderson playing with an Etch-A-Sketch at my parent's house.  Love old school toys!

Did I mention that I have a sweet tooth?  Vanilla with drizzled peanut butter and chocolate chips.  I really need to start working out.

Afternoon snack with a little Baby Einstein (which she couldn't care less about).

Daddy & Daughter

Her face says it all, doesn't it?

Little scavenger, looking for food under the table!

Evelyn LOVED this train table.

She has started to stand up in her crib every time I come in to get her out of her bed.  Love it.

I adore this little button nose!

Every time she does this, Anderson says "it's the statue of liverty!" :)

And last but not least, my sweet little man.  Adore him.
