Laundry King and Queen

Well you have met the laundry Princess, now meet the king and Queen. This is how the kids help me with Laundry. They put the clothes on while I try and fold them and make up some game. It is actually helpful because they stay pretty entertained.

6 months

Roland was actually 6 months in May, but I was a little late posting. It is so fun to watch him play with toys and discover what they all do. He is trying really hard to get around. He rolls and and slides. He is working on two more teeth on top. He still loves to jump and is eating all kinds of baby food.

"I Just want to relax"

Cameron asked to use my bath pillow for her bath. She said she did not want any toys, that she just wanted to relax.

Libby's baby shower

We had brunch and made onesies for Libby. We had a great time. Who knew the shower would go on for seven hours. Some people could not leave, because this was the day of the flood.

New friends

We made some new friends that got displaced from the flood, so they moved in with us for a week. We had a great time. They have two boys ( one and almost three years old). The boys taught my kids how to play in the dirt and mix play doe. I also got some new recipes from Jess (mom) and had some good adult hang out time after the kids were asleep. I did not get a lot of pics, but here are a few.

Water Fun

As soon as spring hits we try and enjoy the outdoors since it gets pretty hot and humid here in the summer. We broke out the sprinkler and baby pool I got at the end of the summer last year for two bucks. This was before the flood. The kids had so much fun in the water.

Flood

Saturday morning it was raining pretty hard as friends started to arrive for a baby shower. We thought it was just another storm that would soon end and leave the skies blue and sunny, but it just kept raining. As the baby shower was ending we started to hear sirens. It was not just fire trucks. It was the tornado sirens in town. They went off three times that day. Soon there was flood warnings, and roads were being closed. My friends tried returning to their families. The last friend left at five and returned home at 6:45 pm. The rain continued through Sunday. We live on a hill, so our home was spared. We are so thankful and blessed. I felt very loved and covered in prayer as many friends, neighbors and family called, emailed and text to see how we were. Here are some pictures from the flood.
