I Love These Kids

We're having fun.

When Nevaeh's around, there's dancing to be found!

C.J.'s invisible shoe! One of his many super hero talents.

Friends.

Cailyn cracks me up! She insisted that going outside required one mitten and a winter hat. Better to hold her stick with.

Super Kids!

Thank goodness for landscaping. Since we've updated our backyard, I've realized that there's no need for swing sets, wagons, balls, and the like. All we needed were some mulch beds. They love chasing each other around them, and I love watching Cailyn lap everyone! That girl is speedy!

The Wiggles!!!!

Chance was lounging on "his chair" and along comes Avery to join. So cozy!

Everyone is asleep dreaming of their evening with THE WIGGLES! We love basement nap time!

Here we are at The Wiggles show. The kids really didn't know what to think about the real life Wiggles being on a stage right in front of them. We watched them on T.V. throughout the day, and they went nuts, singing and dancing. When they came out on stage, the kids really had no reaction. C.J. got into it right away, however, and he's the one who usually doesn't get too excited over them. Finally, toward the end, Chance got down and started to dance like a nut!

After the show, we attempted a group photo (notice they are all wearing their "Ritter's Critters" tees), but this is the best I could get. I think they were tired and hot, and ready to go!

(You may want to click on the pics to see them better.)
Chance: "Hey Dan - el, look what I brought today to play with."

Chance: "Oh geesh, why does everyone have to play with MY toy?!"

Chance: "Fine, I'll just go over here, be stubborn, and not play with you guys...AND give you mean looks."

Do they look like they really care?

"Hmmm, let's examine this part."

"Oh, here's how it works. Did someone leave, because we have so much more space to play now!"

Will this day EVER end?

How cute, the two of them playing quietly with their Play-Doh.

They must be concentrating on their works of art.

What is this face for???!!! Scary monsters.

What a way to relax after a busy morning.

Popsicles and Posies

Mmm, a good summer treat.

Cailyn was telling us some sort of story.

They looove Ring-Around-the-Rosie

Nevaeh's Back!

Nevaeh has returned to Ritter's Critters after getting to spend the summer with her sisters. She was very excited to play with her Critter Friends. We enjoyed lots of dancing, and Nevaeh teaching us cheers.

Teamwork, Teamwork

Chance wanted so badly to get his shoe on, but just couldn't get it on his own. Cailyn to the rescue!

(I can't seem to get the pictures in the correct order, but clearly the shoe made it onto Chances' foot!)
Cailyn tried her best, but couldn't get it either. Big brother on the way!

Yay for Teamwork!!!

Growing Up

They are so darn cute! I encourage you to click on the picture so you can get a bigger view of their cute and silly faces.

GUILTY

In the short time it takes to run upstairs to the kitchen and come back down, chaos can erupt! Do they look guilty or what?!

Gossip Girls and Little Mommies and Daddies

Taking care of the baby. Avery's gotten lots of practice being a new Big Sister and all.

And so it starts; the separation of boys and girls.

Avery put her snack inside the swiss cheese holes and made a smile.
