Happy Flag Day

God’s Garden

God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, ‘Peace bethine’.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Flashback Friday

I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants when I saw this one... almost makes the fact that she pooped all over her room yesterday bearable...

We kinda love these splash pads...

We hit the splash pad at Audubon Park again today, its such a great set up- huge shady pines between the park area and the splash pad. We picnic, lunch, yap, and snuggle babies (when Amber's there!!), and, oh, yeah, the kids love it there too. Harry managed to con not one, but two separate unknown ladies into pushing him on the swings today. He apparently has his "sad puppy" face down and reeled them right in!

My boy is SO handsome! He reminds me a lot of my mom lately...

Ummm... not sure I want to be a part of this??

These ones look innocent...

"Noooooo!!!"

Wailing because her feet got wet (yes, I'm the mom that takes pictures while her kids cry! But only when they're being ridiculous)

Loving the swings!

Fun at the Finch!!

My friend Rhenda and I headed to the Finch Arboretum today with our kiddos to do a Father's Day project. Since my hubby doesn't actually read my blog, I'll post our project as soon as I get it finished. :) In the meantime, enjoy the pretty pictures we got that were unrelated. :)

Ems and Anna

Me with my baby love :)

She's sooo sweet looking here!

Boo-boo! (Peek-a-boo!)

Harry and Anna

The kids didn't want to take this picture, but I think its cute :)

Girl talk

You really can't tell, but she's stomping away from me here... LOL

Are they adorable, or what??

My kids are so cute :)

Little Miss Curlers

I found some sponge curlers at Target the other day, the kind my mom used to use on Katie and I, and just couldn't resist trying them out on Emma.

She sat really well while I put them in...

and even slept with them!

But I used too small of a size and they turned into pin curls!! 

So, we ended up with piggies...

Overall, I think its a Shirley Temple effect???
