I miss a lot of shots of my kids...

but I captured Addie walking around with her baby doll...

and a rare moment of playing quietly.

boo boos...

This pic is one of my favorites of my baby girl.  This was taken Sunday, before the big "accident".  

Notice the greenish-yellow bruise on her forehead?  She took the opportunity (while we all turned our backs for 2 1/2 minutes) to climb the staircase to the upstairs.  Needless to say, she fell all the way down landing on the tile floor.  Not the best day at our house...

The good news is that she is o.k.  :)

Sno-Cones...get your Sno-Cones!!!

The boys begged me everyday for a week starting last Monday to have a sno-cone stand.   Hudsen got a cute little sno-cone machine for his birthday from Uncle Zach and thought they could make and sell them and "get rich".  So, I told them Friday afternoon they could do it.  Kaden spent some time at his buddy Matthew's during the middle of the week and got him excited about it too.  Friday afternoon finally came around and they got to work setting up.  This is just a picture from my phone and it was taken before Matthew got dropped off.   Of course, Monica got better pictures.  Her post and more pics can be seen by clicking on the link below.

Our fun summer days are coming to an end...one week until school starts.

Our new niece, Ruby Pearl

Introducting, Ruby Pearl Blum!  My brother is a VERY PROUD DADDY!  

Huddy loves Ruby...

And Ruby loves Huddy.

Hudsen loves the lake...

So does Ruby.

Target Field

Kaden and Jeremy went to Target Field last week for Kaden's first game.  They left around 2 and just had a great day together.  I asked Jeremy to take A LOT of pictures.  So far, these are the only two I have seen of their big outing...

Kaden got his autographed baseball he wanted.

And, they found the "best Ranch dressing in the world".  Him and his dad share a love of Ranch and french fries!  

I sure wish I could see more pics of their big day, but maybe it was a day just for guys and I should leave it at that!  

Berries!

We did our annual berry picking on Tuesday.  This time, we had company.  It seems like everywhere I go lately I have a professional photographer following me!!!   Monica is getting SO awesome at her photography.  I may be her biggest fan!  Pretty soon, she is going to be charging me for these awesome shots she takes of my children.  I will be forever grateful for all of them I will have forever.  (I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten any shots myself with my little berry monster running around!)  We had a fun time with our bff's that day...Monica and I are planning a Sat. morning, mommy-only, garage sale/berry picking outing soon! 

Kaden's best buddy!

A raspberry picking injury!   He said, "it feels SO much better when you kiss it mommy"

My busy girl!

Time for the weigh-in!  Monica and I joked they should have weighed my kids before and then after.  For every one berry picked, Kaden ate two.  Needless to say, I paid them a little extra!

Hudsen's 5th birthday

Star Wars cake was requested (from Walmart, which I may add, it was GOOD!)

Hudsen (a.k.a. Toad Commander) was awarded two toads from his Grandpa B

Inflatable waterslide, a pinata and snowcones...what else could a little boy ask for?

Pinata time!

Simon, Hudsen, Gillian, Avery, Carter, and Josh
