So hot!

Radley and Sabrina playing in the backyard last night. It was so hot and humid!

So pretty :)

So mad :) She spilled some water out of her bucket and she wanted me to pick it up and put it back...I definitely couldn't help her there!

Barely any room for the water and the babies!Part of my little corner of the world--my garden. It's certainly not where I want it to be, but it's getting there!

Such a big girl!

My baby is not a baby anymore! Sabrina doesn't want to sit in her booster seat anymore. She looks so grown up sitting at the table like a big girl eating her spaghetti. Time goes by so fast...next thing you know she will be smoking the tires as she peels out of the driveway in the Mustang!!

Momma get the camera...

Radley has become a bit of a hambone lately and quite often tells me to get the camera and take a picture of him. Here are a few that he demanded I grab the camera for...

...if this isn't a Jodi look, I don't know what is!!He may look like me, but the kid is just like his dad when it comes to posing for pictures! He's not actually drinking out of his cup. He set the picture up with the truck and I went to take a picture and he said, "No, momma, wait!" Then he grabbed his sippy cup and put it up to his mouth and said, "Okay, momma, go."

Here he is with potty seat rings on his feet...

...with Sabrina's shoe on... ...wearing a "towel" after his pretend shower...

...and sitting on Sabrina's potty seat. He has perfected the art of pretending like he doesn't know I am taking his picture and then as soon as I take it, he gets a little smirk on his face like he just got away with something.

Ice Cream!!

Thanks to Papa AP and Grandma Marge, we were treated to some nummy ice cream from Dairy Queen the other night! While they were visiting at the end of last month, they bought a couple of lottery tickets for the insanely high powerball drawing. Unfortunately, they did not win the big prize, but they did win enough for ice cream! They thoughtfully sent us the tickets to cash in and here is a picture of the kiddos eating their lottery treat...I love the look on Radley's face!!

My beautiful family...

Backyard babies!

Here are some pictures of the babies in the backyard, human and bird varieties! We got them a little pool to play in...

The baby birds in our Maple tree. The kids have loved watching them from when they were eggs to watching their little heads pop out of the nest waiting for Mama bird to come feed them! This picture reminds me of some pictures I have seen of my sister Carrie when she was baby...crazy hair with a bottle in her mouth! All Sabrina needs is a band aid on her nose :) And yes, Sabrina is too old to still have bottles. One thing at a time, folks. One thing at a time... Cody, Radley and our neighbor girl swimming in the pool...the water is FREEZING!

Sabrina loves hats...even if they aren't hats!

Sabrina is not thrilled with the amount of water that Radley has dripping from his swim trunks.

Papa AP and Granny Marge come to visit!

We had so much fun with Papa AP and Granny Marge this weekend...

We went to the zoo.

We ate at Village Inn--a must during a Papa AP visit!

had a neighborhood barbeque at Ed's house

No trick of the camera...Radley is so white that he actually glows!

And put power steering in Lamont! Okay, WE didn't put power steering in Lamont, but David and AP did.
