This is one of my FAVORITE pictures of Megan in her Mambo dress with her friends.....(this dance was my FAVORITE out of all of them- very cute!)

Chloe and her little friends in linewaiting for their turn......






Megan and Chloe with their teacher- Ms Katy.....Megan has been with the studio for six years, and Ms Katy is one of our most favorite teachers !

2010 Dance Recital favorites

A new era.....

When this little girl was only eight months old, Jared painted this farm scene on the nursery wall....five kids later, we have NO NURSERY, just a boys room and a girls room, and since we now have more boys than girls, the girls inherited the smaller room.....so we are now giving it a girly makeover.....sadly, Jared and I are the only one sad about losing the farm scene :(


Brothers

It is no wonder why Heath is such a cheerful baby....he gets hugs and kisses all day long from six different people....Jacob loves Heath and can't help but turn all mushy and cute when Heath is around :)

Heath and Grandma Barton




I took my camera to catch pics of the girls and their cousins at Grandma Barton's slumber party...but of course- too late, so I did grab a couple of pics Heath and his Grandma Barton(Travis deserves credit for the lower pic).....I guess I am a little behind getting individual pics of him and his granparents- add it to my list I guess......

Scouts go to the Ball Game

Jacob and Travis' troop went to the San Antonio Mission Baseball game, which was way fun.....this was their first time going and I think they had a blast.....it was hot and sticky, Heath did not enjoy it as much as they did, but he (and I) survived.....
In this pic above, Travis is with a friend from Primary and a friend from his soccer team last year......


Megan and Chloe love to go to scouts b/c they see their friends, they have a club consisting of the sisters of scouts which they LOVE to hang out with :)

My Little Scouts.....

This year my little boys had the chance to attend a scout camp in SA, they are with some of their friends in their den....this is a 4 day-day camp.....the first day was filled with BBguns, archery, swimming contests, etc. needless to say, they were stoked (Travis especially) to see what lay in store for the 2nd day.....

Look who's crawling.....







It started with one or two moves, and now he is getting farther and farther.....

sneaky siblings....

I had just put Heath down for a nap, came back to check on him, and had to do a double take....it's a good think Heath is good natured, b/c he will need it for future fun I am sure of that....although this looks like a Travis and even Megan and Jacob act, come to find out this was Chloe.....she put the pink snake on baby Heath and when I asked her if she had done it, all she had to say was "hehehehe!"......

End of another school year ---YEAH!!

Once we have the awards assembly, school is officially OVER!! The below pics are of Megan and Jacob and Travis with their classes for their awards assembly....and yup, it's official, my kids are a bunch of smarties.....Megan was our first 3rd grader, and when you're in 3rd grade you have to take special state testing.....which MISS MEGAN got a big fat PERFECT SCORE on hers :)


MR JACOB stomped his smart sister with his reading points, in fact, he was THE top reader in his class....







Then, my dear Travis....he made top grades in KINDER as well, his teacher told me many times, that Travis just made her smile, all the time with his charm :)
***I will stop bragging now



Memorial Day fun













We laid low for Memorial Day, Jared unfortunately had to work, so we stayed home and had our own kind of fun.....


cut from the same cloth.....


For church, the boys had their clothes coordinated.....Jared and Jacob in their light corduroys and Travis and Heath in their dark corduroys.....Jared and Jacob were the only one's I could get a snap still in their Sunday pants(Travis often changes clothes in the car before we have even pulled out of the church parking lot)
