More Kid Funnies

I'll add funny things here from May to December of this year!

When we pulled into the parking area at the fest yesterday, Lexie looked out and saw the Ferris wheel and rides, did a fist pump, and yelled "Dis gonna be AWESOME!!!"  

I told Aiden, "I like it when you listen." To which he replied "I like it when you let me do whatever I want, Mommy." Brutal honesty. Love it. 

Lexie (as we watered our flowers outside): Mommy, when I was big, and you was little, YOU helped ME water flowers when Daddy was gone! Me: I did? When I was little and you were big? Lexie: YES! You helped me and it make Daddy sooo happy! 


Lexie: Come here please, Aiden! Aiden: I'm not your assistant, Yexie!!

Julia asked me where we are going and then says "I remember, is it the Foxtrot, Echo, Sierra, Tango?" I just laughed and said "Did you REALLY just spell that?!" Once she figured out Wally spelling this to me in the car a year or so ago, she never forgot! Military kid thru and thru!

Aiden: GET OUT OF MY ROOM FOREVER, YEXIE!

Aiden: Mommy, We need to go dis place, you can always go there and they have any type of food you've never tried, they have a hotel too. Me: What's it called? Aiden: It's called "Any Kind of Place." You have to wake up early before it closes. It closes at 10, I mean 11. You know how to get there? You go straight and then right. You do. I heard about dis place, Mommy. It's no big deal.

May Already

Here's what we've been up to lately!

Aiden started t-ball in April. He's loving it and doing a great job so far.





Aiden is almost as tall as Julia...



Julia got to show off her computer skills at her parent-teacher conference! As usual, our girl is doing great!


Lexie's class got a personal tour of a German Polizei car! Fun!


Caught snuggling...


Isn't this what brothers are for?!


We've stopped and taken the time to spin pinwheels....


And here's what Daddy is ALWAYS doing [eyeroll]...taking care of his precious yard!!  He grew a lot of this grass himself so he's very proud of it and is constantly cutting, weeding, and edging.


He even made a little mini rock garden.


The other day Aiden said to me, "Mommy, I gonna try your noodles, but if I don't yike dem, peas don't be sad, ok?"  It made me laugh so hard! Love that sweet boy!

Cassidy arrives tomorrow, and the kids and I are soooo excited! I plan on taking her to Prague, Heidelberg, and wine tasting in Bad Durkheim! We'll see what else we end up doing!

Pictures from Karl

My brother Karl posted some old pictures of the kids on my Facebook page. Check them out!

Baby Aiden!!!






And here's Julia...this is at O2B Kids in Gainesville. I'm pretty sure these were taken at Kayla's 3rd birthday in June 2007.





Our babies are growing up so fast!

An Afternoon in Graf

We took a picnic to the park and a stroll around Grafenwoehr.  Such beautiful weather!


Sweet and handsome! I've been saying it since he was born!


Feeding birds and a swan




Can't even believe our baby is 8 year old!


Julia's holding her up from behind.  And Aiden refused to pose for another picture :/


Checking out our new local nursery


Downtown Graf






Love all of the beautiful colors we saw today!

Sleeping Babies

I've managed to capture a couple of sweet sleeping pictures lately.


Love my babies so much.
