I love them!

Howdy Soldier! 

Not too much to say on this posting...just some great photos of my kids beautiful faces.
I am a Mom in love...

Those eyes...

Girlfriend had to wear her belt, with pajamas

Playing at the park

She loves jello! 

Back to School Jake!

BACK TO SCHOOL! Jake was up at 6am, asking if it was time to go to school. I hope he's always that enthusiastic about school. He's back to Ms. Peggy's. We missed her...she's an amazing teacher, a genuinely good person with a HUGE heart. And, Jake loves her too. So...I asked Jake to pose for a picture, and you know my kids...

I love the head tilt

My precious baby boy...almost 5 years old.

All the kids had an apple with their name on it. 

Jake was working...putting out a BIG fire he said. He set up all fire trucks. It was a total photo op! So, Jake has a new friend...Joe. His imaginary friend, Joe. He tells the best stories about Joe. It's really cute. Joe's from San Francisco. What an imagination...we love it and we love you Jake! 

The Cool Kids

Always ready to go, always ready for a picture and always lookin' good

Jake has his own style already...

Jake & Sophie are creating this really sweet bond lately. It's a very special thing and I hope they are always close

Sophie loves balloons! 

Coco hosted a bridal shower at her house for Lea. The ladies were drinking margaritas. Sophie wanted one too...so she was drinking water and loving it.

Dad's Company Picnic

I have to start off by telling you some pretty cute things Sophie has been up to. Deon & I started a workout program, P90X about a month ago. We follow these videos and workout in the living room. Sophie calls it sexercising, rather than exercising. She says, "Sexercising Dad?". It's so funny. She's got some attitude and doesn't let Jake mess around and if he does she says, "Stop it Jake"! With this really deep scratchy voice that's bigger than her. She's loving her some Daddy lately...snuggles up to him on the couch. And, when she gets in trouble with Mom she runs to Dad. She loves taking showers now and the girl could stay in there all night. And she'll keep yelling, almost done! She sings, "we will, we will, rock you!" and   Happy Birthday to you. She's talking more and more everyday. Her vocabulary is getting bigger and bigger. She's very smart and very determined. She does things that her brother would have never even thought about. And, she thinks it's hilarious when we tell her No or try and scold her...which is NOT cute at all. When she talks she does this cute thing with her lips to make a point or uses her hands to tell a story. I could just watch her all day...she's so perdy and is the cutest little thing ever. I love Sophie! She's wearing my shoes in the picture above...such a girly girl.

Then there's my Jake...what can I say about him, where do I start? He's so amazing, smart, loving, imaginative, creative, my little chocolate boy...I could go on an on about him.  He is such a hard worker, always got something going on. And, the latest...his imaginary friend, Joe. Joe is his boss and sometimes co-worker. He's been coming over for dinner a lot lately. Joe even asked if he could have a beer. Deon asked if Joe was old enough to drink and Jake said, yes...he's 18. Jake is all boy; into sports, construction sites and cars. On the road he calls out cars now; there's a Ford, Honda, Lexus, etc. He's got those big ole eyes with those long long lashes...so handsome. I love my Jake! 

Here comes the little fish

She was having a blast in the water...not to mention how hot it was, so nice to cool off

Jake playing Whac-o-mole. He won! And he had to go back to win something for Sophie too. It was cute, he got her a purple bear

Sophie was too cute on the swings...she could have stayed on there all day 

Riding the train

It was a great day. We had lots of fun and got to meet some of Dad's co-workers too. Then the clouds came, then rain but most of all WIND. We took cover, ate some delicious BBQ at the Klinger company picnic and went back out for more. I love our little family. We are really blessed. 

Happy Independence Day!

The beautiful New Mexico sky

The little Princess

Deon told Jake to go get the hose. Wanted to have it ready JUST IN CASE. Well, Jake decided to spray the water after every firework. He said he was a firefighter and he was working.

SPARKLERS! 

Whoa Mom, look at all the smoke! 

Watching the show

Jake checking out Dad's truck...always working 

Watching fireworks from the back of the truck. 

HAPPY 4th OF JULY! 

Hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday. 

Summer Fun

The day before the 4th...we hung out poolside and then BBQ'd in the front yard and went back and forth to the neighbors. We swam, had water balloon fights, had some drinks, ate some yummy BBQ and spent a nice afternoon with family and friends. Had our own fireworks show in the street and ended the night by dancing on Lulac. Even Grandpa Glen got out there for a minute...

Having some fun in the pool

Cooling off in the pool

Kickin' it in the front yard...

Sportin' Dads hat

My little Mamacita! 

They couldn't wait to light their fireworks

Jake was kinda scared so he kept his helmet on and sat way back with Grandpa Glen and Nana Mona

Safety first, helmet head...look at that beautiful smile

Love this picture...total action shot. Everyone holding sparklers and Jacob getting some really cool photos

Sophie got in on the action too!
