Fun with #’s 3, 4, 5 & 6

You know how it is when you are trying to remember a child’s name and maybe they have multiple siblings so you end up going through all of the other kid’s names before you get to the right one. Jordan, no Becky, I mean David, Madison…oh, you know who you are!!! Anyway, when my sister had her sixth child my husband and I began calling them by their number at times. So here are some photos of some good times with 3, 4, 5, and 6 (David, Madison, Anna & Calissa Jo respectively).

The hotel we stayed at had a swimming pool so OF COURSE we swam. Remember what it was like when you were little and going to a hotel was a treat in itself if it had a swimming pool!? Callie wears this float apparatus that she calls her duckie and she walks around going “quack, quack” and therefore, so does everyone else (say quack quack, that is).

We also spent the afternoon at the Lincoln Children’s Museum aka the “kid’s ze-um” according to #6. #6 also wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese which was surprising as there isn’t a Chuck E Cheese where they are from nor has she ever been to one. We asked her, “Callie, how do you know what Chuck E Cheese is?”. Her response, “I saw it on the mercial!”.

The problem with a huge backyard

Sixty Five!!!

Our neighbor’s boyfriend came over and was raking her leaves and Adam said, “I need to get me a boyfriend like that!”. I don’t think we should go there though.

You should see the leaves though…they keep coming and coming! And, yes, Rachel the weather has been freakishly nice as it has been in the 60s and 70s the past week. All I can say is that I am sure we have one heck of a winter in store for us!
