Who needs American Idol when you've got the craziest kids on the block to entertain you? Carli, Cami and Josh put on a fashion show for Mom, Dad and Brynn. Let me tell you, they're ALL GOIN' TO HOLLYWOOD!

Kisses

Josh loves his baby Brynn. He is always wanting to hold her, kiss her, tickle her. She responds to him with laughter and smiles. They share a special bond.

Brynn--2 months old! She is full of giggles and smiles...a fun, sweet baby. We just love her to pieces!!

Carli and her "gaggle of girls" celebrate her BDay with a slumber party

Josh's love of machines leads to the coersion of our wonderful neighbor, Steve, into giving the little guy a ride on his mower. Poor Steve, he doesn't know what he's gotten himself into. (Every day from now on..."Steve, can I ride yo' mower?")

The biggest sister and the littlest sister.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAR-CAR!
We celebrated Carli's birthday as a family at her favorite restaurant, Macaroni Grill. We can't believe our little girl is already 11 years old. She has grown up so much this year--a beautiful, bright young lady!

After a busy weekend with Katie, Paul and Little John, Mom and Brynn need a nap. We all had such a wonderful time with "y'all" --please come back soon now, ya hear?

The Mamas and the babies

Little John--future concert pianist.
Joshua--future comedian

Elmo is entertaining and educational...even for Dr. Paul Balthrop

WATER FIGHT!
90 degrees in April! Aunt Katie and Uncle Paul entertained the girls with a brutal water fight.

UNCLE PANCAKE READ ME A STORY!!
Uncle "Pancake" tries to settle Joshy for his nap (Josh is more interested in the camera than the book) and as the final picture of the series illustrates, story time proved to put both boys to sleep.

Cami and Ellie
We all had a great time catching up with extended family at Alissa and Jake's wedding. This is the only picture I got that day before my camera batteries died. (Way to go, Mom!) Cam and Ellie were pals--dancing and playing together.

Quote of the week: "Mom, Brynn is my favorite baby." Ah, we are making great strides with new baby sister and Joshua!

This series of pictures were taken early in the morning (before most normal people are functioning) and it's obvious that while Joshua is full of energy and animation, Brynn is just trying to survive the whole ordeal. He is cute, though, and that's why we'll keep him.

Pretty Baby

Laughing!! Brynn's biggest grins and giggles are for her sisters and brother. They are very entertaining!
