Since being home...The Dog Days of Summer (The rest of summer pretty much)

It has been a busy couple of weeks and now school starts Monday and I send my oldest off to Kindergarten (not ready!) and my littlest also turns 1 on Monday (a little more ready for that one!).  So, now I need to get caught up so I can focus on those big moments we have coming up.

To beat the heat, we have headed to the local bowling alley a few times.  The kids love it and Harrison is getting pretty good!
 Eating buckeyes!
 Staying cool...I love the little diaper baby :)
 Getting the stomach flu (not one of the more fun things, but something that kept us down for 6 days!)
 Blowing bubbles.
 Building Legos.
 Playing with the dog.  She is now allowed in our kitchen, sometimes!
 Relaxing on the couch with some shows.
 And a lot of dress up.






 And learning to walk...I can't believe we have a walker :)
 And playing.







 And lots of treats!

 and dancing :)
 We have also been at the pool a lot, but with 2 kids who can't swim, my hands are pretty full so I don't have any pictures.  Safety first!  Maybe next year will be a little easier!  We have really had a great summer and now it is time to get into some sort of routine for the school year.  And hopefully it will cool off sometime soon, or by October please!!

11 months

Well, since we are just days away from the big 1 birthday, I better get the 11 month pictures up.  Bode continues to be a dream.  She sleeps, she eats and she plays well.  She is curious and gets into everything.  She climbs, pulls and will put anything in her mouth.  She has a lot of spunk, but is also great about rolling with life.  If we have stuff to do, she is along for the ride regardless of whether or not it is her nap time.  Poor girl puts up with a lot of "abuse" from her older siblings, but is now dishing a little too.  She and Raegan are about the same size, so Bode loves to drive Raegan crazy.  Bode is also learning some great tackle and ninja moves from her big brother.  This little girl is a fun ball of fire and we couldn't love her more.

Oh and at 11 months she was just about walking.  Gotta keep up with the big kids!
