A wonderful August

My little Teaguers looks so serious here. He always wants to be outside. He grabs people's hands and says "Meer" - which means "Come here" in Teague-speak.

Carterman is loving the water lately. He is in swim lessons now, and he's loving it!

Avery is the goofiest girl ever. I'm hoping that she's done with her fit throwing stage. She was absolutely hilarious this weekend. Here she is getting prepared for snow...in August!

Mom was out of town for the Relay for Life this year. She gave her coworker some money to put in for the raffles...and she won! She got a Cars package (a desk, the two movies, stickers, a Memory Game, and more), which is awesome. Carter loves this desk!

Everytime Teague gets in his police car, there is always a little rain in the back part. He added some mud and grass and proceeded to wipe it all over his face! I love this look though!

That must be why his skin is so smooth!

We went over and played at Emerson the other night. Carter and Landon are starting to get excited to go there. Teague played for awhile, then he tried to steal Ave's bike and go home.

I always try to attempt a picture of all 3 - this one isn't too bad (Carter looks cute even with his eyes closed)! Mom and Dad's yard looks amazing though!

Ave set us up camping in the kitchen the other day. She had food, sleeping bags, stuffed animals, and bedtime stories for us. She said we were sisters. I was Kaylee and she was Haylee (but her nickname is Hylie). Kyle was our brother Stinky Butt. Wow! She is the most imaginative kid I've ever been around.

My friend Michelle was in town from Vegas. I always love to see her (and her sister-in-law Amy). We had lots of fun Saturday night - thanks Terri and Abb for babysitting.

Kyle actually got to go out! Amy's husband Bob and Ritter's husband Mike were there too. We had a good time!

On Sunday we worked on baseball with the boys. Kyle was playing catch with them. They didn't do too badly. We didn't sign them up for tee-ball this year. I wanted one more summer of nothing.

Nice T-throw Landon! When he "zooms" it - watch out! They both are pretty good at throwing.

I told her that her eyes looked really cool on Sunday - so she made me take a picture of this face! I can't help but laugh when I look at it.

I also laugh at this picture. Carter made up a throw called a "Tanker-ram". They would transform into tanks, turn backwards, and throw the ball under their legs back to Kyle. It took awhile, but it was pretty funny!

Later on, they drug out these sleds and used them as shields. Kyle was squirting them with a watergun. We all thought they looked like the Spartans from 300 when they were crouched down behind them. This is Avery saying, "Dad. Stop! Mom is taking a picture."!

We went over to Father Sheehan to bat for a little bit. Carter was doing pretty well until Teague took the bat and ball and started golfing with them!
