Whew! We've been busy!

And we are just going to get busier. Next week we leave for Disney World! Yes, yes, yes...crazy. Middle of July, peak park time, WHITE WHITE children, but I'm excited. We went this past December for Little Jon's birthday and he has not stopped talking about it. :o) The pure joy of a child can cure the world of anything-- especially watching it from a mother's eye view. ;o) Then the following week, my Dad's two sisters will be coming down for an extended visit. I'll be taking the kids back to the ranch through the end of the month to spend time with my Dad. For those of you who pray, I am begging for prayers for my Dad. He has been battling a kidney disease and its just taking a toll on him. I haven't been able to post about it or even talk about it because I cry and just feel like I'm in denial about it all. He started dialysis this past week and my heart just hurts to hear how poorly he is doing. So please, if you pray...pray for him. So I may not be able to blog again till we get back. (I know someone has been asking me to blog about my favorite 'green' things, I will *try* to get that together before we leave!)

So here are a few pictures to tide you over till I can... :o) So get ready for an OVERLOAD--I hope you are bored! (These may seem out of sequence, but I'm just going by date.)

Cadi loving her kitty.



Anyone remember the 'Hungry Hungry Hippos' game? This is a scene from that game. LOL! Just toss out a few cheerios in front of 3 toddlers. It cracks me up! :o)



Cadi's first slide experience.



Another good use for a blow up pool is a germ free ball pit! ;o)



This wasn't little Jon's first professional baseball game, but he doesn't remember the first. He loved it! Just sat in awe! A dear friend of mine gave me tickets for my birthday. If it wasn't so hot here, I'd consider season tix. Cadi didn't know what team to root for, she'd clap anytime anyone else did. It was hilarious! Sadly, Momma's Braves lost...but it was still a lot of fun.





The kids first cotton candy...Cadi wanted to DEVOUR it, but little Jon (of course) wasn't too sure...





Cadi and Alex LOVE the inside ball pit.



Addy wasn't as excited about it, but she rooted them on in the background. LOL!



ETA: A cut out of Addy in the back because it totally cracks me up!



Having lots of pillows around is a must with these daring babes! ;o)





Eating one of our favorite Sneaky Chef recipes...cocoa pancakes! SHHHH! Don't tell them there is spinach in it! ;o)







Addy is too classy to get messy with cocoa pancakes, but she sure has a cute smile!



Little Jon is my future musician.



Where I found Cadi...I swear I don't keep her in a cabinet. ;o)



And I realize I don't take many pics of my babies in their cribs...I'll miss that! So I took one yesterday after Cadi's nap...



Thanks for sharing our lives with us! Pray for us in this coming month as we travel and visit my Dad. We'll be back soon...

Love all of the pictures. I just bought Sneaky Chef for my crazy picky eater...can't wait to try those pancakes. Thanks for the tip!

I did not know that about your Dad. That must be very hard to watch. Many prayers of peace and healing for him and your family.

Enjoy all of your travels!
