August 2011

I don't remember anything specific that went on LAST August so, I just went through my pictures.  I am usually pretty good about taking pictures, at least that helps me to remember what the kids were up to then.

A week after her birthday.  Still small enough to take a bath in the sink! She loved exploring the unusual bath time surroundings. (She really looks like her brothers.)

 While I was busy cleaning, she was busy making a mess! I think this was the first time she discovered how fun paper towels can be. 

 Sebastien thinks it is pretty awesome to be like his daddy.  He is ready to go to work. 

 Monkey see, monkey do! Of course Manti had to get in on the fun. 

 He forgot the back pack the first time so we had to take another picture.  This is what daddy looks like when he takes his motorcycle to work, only taller and in uniform. :)

 I had forgotten about this day until I saw the picture!  The boys got a little crazy with the stickers.  This was not fun to clean up. What a sticker mess!

 Just had to put this one on here.  She is such a cute, messy little girl. Looks a little sleepy too. 

 We had a garage sale last year to help clear up some space in the house.  When I brought the baby bath tub down stairs the boys both said, "Aaaawwwwee, you can't give that away Mom." It was funny that of all things, this is what they wanted to save.  So, I let them get in it one more time and pretend to be a baby.  It was a fun but sad moment.  Only sad to think that long ago, they were my teeny tiny little babies in the bath tub, and now well, they are not so tiny. 

For some reason he thinks babies only cry in the bath tub.

This one just made me laugh.  Manti has some of the best facial expressions.

 Emree found her first BFF.  They are so cute playing together.  Emree use to be bigger then her but now, not so much.  It is so fun to see the two little girls get so excited to see each other.

 One day I was doing something on the computer, who knows what, when it got really quiet.  Emree was just beginning the stage of if she was quiet that meant TROUBLE! When it got quiet, I got nervous and got up to see what she was getting into.  When she didn't respond to me talking it made me wonder what she could possibly be doing, then I saw this is the doorway! My first thought, "I have to get a picture." 

 This is just the boys being boys! They can never just smile, they have to do something a little crazy. 

 My little helper. Oh goodness, does she ever help! I think this is when doing the dishes became the longest task ever.  As soon as I would get something put in the dishwasher I would see a little had out of the corner of my eye taking it right out.  The baby gate really came in handy. 

 Just a little daddy daughter time.  She loves when daddy comes home from work and is ALWAYS the first one to greet him at the door. 

 I really don't know what it is about taking pictures when the kids are sleeping but this one is funny.  Manti had gotten in trouble and was suppose to be sitting in the corner.  Troy went to head back to work and found him sleeping by the door.
