Nate

Nathan over the past month has grown soo much. He now pulls himself to a stand will let go to check his balance which of course he has none so he falls. He has said sissy but only when he sees pictures of them. He continues to have problems with constipation. In half the pics he is 8mos :)

The girls and their brother

They do love their brother ! Hollie reading to Nate:) Nate and Lauren playing their first game. Lauren would hide and the jump out at Nate, Nate would get all excited. He would turn and crawl away the look to see if she was following him:) very fun game

Nathan and his friend Finn! Finn is the son of Danielle and Steve. Danielle's daughter plays on the Roadrunners with Lauren. We were pregnant about the same time, Nathan is 4mos older to the day than Finn. Danielle shares similar beliefs, organic no processed foods for the babies, no screen time, and allows as many people to love them as possible.

Danielle and Karen at the indoor soccer tournament, Lauren was running a fever the night before this tournament. We were up at 0400 giving her tylenol and telling her she will not be playing in the tournament. This of course resulted in tears she absolutely loves soccer and a fever was not going to keep her down. I agreed that if she did not have a fever at 1000 she could. She did not develop a fever until noon, it was only 100.4, we gave her tylenol and she went to play. It wasn't her best game but they took second.

50th Anniversary

Hollie's Friend Birthday

Hollie and her closest friends celebrated becoming an adult!

Lauren and her close friend Ryan

They played scattagories and laughed a lot!

Just another angle

Hollie wanted to do a fear factor drink, these were the only people competing. Prize was itunes gift card.

Here they go!

And the face! The drinks were asparagas and sweet/sour mix with pinnapple chunks (vomit) and then the (Blood) spicy bloody mary mix with peeled grapes.

Alexa decided not to do the second drink

Make your own cupcake with several different toppings!
All the girls seemed to have a great time, they watched Dispicable Me and then sat up and talked. We had Legendary doughnuts in the morning.
