Happy Birthday Blaine!

Happy (belated) Birthday Blaine! I can not believe Blaine is already 5 years old and starting school on Monday!

Blaine told me the other day "Mommy, I Love You More than anything I've Ever Loved!"
Talk about melting your heart!

I Thank God Everyday For Blessing Me With You....I Love You Buddy!!!!

This ticker is correct!

~Happy Birthday Mom~

You Gave Me Life,
Dressed Me, Fed Me,
Carted Me All Over,
Wiped My Tears When I Cried,
Celebrated My Successes,
Fought With Me For My Own Good.
I Know I Can Always Count On You.
Sometimes I Haven't Always Shown
My Appreciation For
What You Have Done For Me,
I Want You To Know
I Think You Are Wonderful And
I Love You Very Much!

Rheagans Photoshoot take 2

She cracks me up....You know she is REALLY cool because she is going into Jr. High now!!! :)

Only my kids.....

Look at how the kids were sleeping in the trailer this weekend.....it is amazing Blaine is still alive!!! It looks like some sort of siamese twin you would see on the discovery channel! :)

~Favorites~

These are some of my favorites from the weekend...

Bathtime!

Seriously, this green Bumbo chair is the best thing ever invented. I am so glad I brought it with me this weekend. I used it to feed her in and bathe her. She LOVED getting scrubbed down and slept so good that night!

Hangin' out at camp.

Me and My Hubby!

Jay and Brian....Arent they CUTE! Ha Ha!

Actually they look like they could be brothers!

Drive to Blue Ridge!!!

Here are the kiddos being silly on our drive to The Beautiful Blue Ridge Reservoir....and yes....Rheagan still had the camera!

On our way to Happy Jack!

Here is our car ride on Thursday to the mountains. Tired kiddos!

July Camping Trip

So not to many pics. from this trip. I couldnt keep a charge on my camera and the few times it was charged Rhea had it!

Time for lunch!

Brian sweeping up outside!

Blaine crying because he didnt want to go outside....he wanted to stay in and play his leapster. Riiggghhhttt! Last time I checked we were camping....and he's a boy???Cant figure this one out!?!

Taylor just got done riding!

Little Kensley!

Driving Home.....

Rheagan had the camera! These are funny though because it is so their personalities.

Catch Phrase in Action!!!

Good Times!

Party Time!

So we had a few people over before 4th of July for a bbq. Chad Sondra My Cousin Kristi and our friends Tamee and Kevin came by. It was a good time. We played volleyball in the pool and we played a game of catch phrase inside afterwards. Next thing I knew it was 3:30am!!!!! Its been a LONG time since I have stayed up that late!!!

Time for a swim~

Brian and I took the 2 little ones out swimming the otherday. It was nice but I am so worried about Kensley getting too much sun so I have her all covered up. She likes the pool she kicks and punches the whole time because she is so excited to be in the water. I bought her a little floatie toy but it had a hole in it so I need to take it back and get another one. I think she would really love it.
"Mom, the sun is waaay too bright!!!"

Chad and his new girl....

So here is Chad and his Girlfriend Sondra. She is such a sweetheart....I am so happy for Chad (or as Sondra calls him "Chadilac") :)

My 1st Camping Trip....

We are off to the Mountains today for Kensleys 1st camping trip. Here she is with her bags packed and ready to go! I love this picture of Rheagan and Blaine!

I have tons of pictures that I need to update my blog with (including another photoshoot of Rheagan!) but I will have to do them when I return from camping. I have so much to do before I leave and we all know if I am not ready when Brian comes home from work I am in big trouble!! :) Ha Ha! Hope everybody had a Happy 4th of July!

R.I.P. Darger Family Photo Journal

I type this with a heavy heart.... it seems we have lost a fellow blogger. Heather the President of Darger Family Photo Journal seems to have jumped ship from our world of blogging and has set her blog to "invite only". I wish her luck in her future blogging endeavors and wanted to say the humor she brought to our blogging lives will be sorely missed.

I just had to....

This is only 15 min. after the last pictures in her swing were taken....she is sound asleep. I just had to take one more picture just so everybody can see the rolls on her legs!! Ugh, dont you just want to squeeze 'em!!!!!

Only 4 months ago....

This is what she looked like in her swing...I had to post it once I saw the difference between this one and the ones below!!! Makes you realize how fast they really do grow!
