HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY BROOKE!

Happy 4th Birthday to our Baby Girl. You make this family complete - and keep us all on our toes!
You love pink, basketball, Barbies, your brothers, dancing, music, chocolate milk, cheese sticks, swinging, your friends, school, IHM, your brothers' friends, your family, God and especially your Bunny.

We love YOU.

Many more Happy Birthdays, Brooklynn Grace.

More & More Birthday Fun

 This post is way overdue...

Memorial Day Weekend we celebrated Reid's 2nd Birthday with a Pacers-themed Party. Nice to have those connections...we even had BOOMER at the party! The kids had a ball.

All the cousins...except the party boy who was in bed!

The next day we had a fun swim party at our friends - The Eikenberry's. A tradition on Race Day!

The water wiffle ball game was a hit - even I slid head first into first base (seen above)!

Showing off their muscles...before they all fell asleep!

The Next Big Star....

Soccer Star, that is! Tonight was Brooke's last night of soccer and she has been improving so much over the season - you could notice every week.

Tonight on the way to her game she said "Mommy, tonight I am going to score a goal. I am going to score a goal for you."

A few minutes into the game, she dribbled all the way down, shot and hit the side of the goal and it kicked out.

A few minutes later, she dribbled all the way down and just stepped over it, to have her friend Connor come up behind her and score (he felt so bad he "took" her goal).

Finally, with a few minutes left, Brooke had a break-away and dribbled that ball down to score. She was so determined to score and she did it! On top of that she got a medal for the end of the season.

We have one happy girl sleeping with her medal tonight! So proud of my Baby Girl!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Daddy was quick to tell all he had 2 days in a row (Father's Day and his birthday) where he got to do WHATEVER he wanted (????). I think he had a pretty good last 2 days.

Yesterday he got a few naps, including one at the pool, and the kids entertained him with races in the rain.












Don't worry - she did it too.

Today he had baseball practice (which to him is fun), wings for dinner and 2 of his fave desserts for his birthday treat. Serve that up on the "You Are Special Today" plate with 3 smiling kids and it does not get much better!

We love you, Daddy! Many more Happy Birthdays!

Happy Father's Day!

To my kids' awesome Dad, my loving Father and my nurturing Father-In-Law and all the Dads out there - the world is a better place with DADS!

On To Pre-K

Brooke's pre-school year is over and summer has begun for her. She had a great year and really improved on her writing and letter/number recognition. Just can't wait for Mrs. Murray to get her hands on her in the fall and work her Pre-K magic with my last little Goshorn. Can't believe she will be 4 next month...

although most people think she should be turning 6.
My (big) Baby Girl!

Little Boy No More

We have ourselves a man. Will started shaving the other night during an unsupervised shower. Even got a little nick.

















But he said he did get those hairs.
Oh my.......
