It's all fun and games until.....

the Scotts start a water balloon fight!!!  We promised the kids a friendly family fight one night before the summer was over.  We spent the afternoon filling a 100 balloons or so for ten minutes of fun. 

The before shot

Hutch right after he got hit with what he deemed a cheap shot

Everybody goes after the Daddy

The after shot--must not have been too bad because we are still smiling

Y'all people are nuts with a capital "N"

Then it was you are not wet enough so get over here and let me fix that time.

Making wishes

Enjoying a homemade ice cream sandwich!

Swimming

Once the weather warms up, we hit the pool as often as our schedules will allow.  This was our first trip and the water was still a bit chilly, but we made it through and had lots of fun.

 

 

Love this face!

I will never get tired of your crinkly nose smile Finny girl!

A split second after this Hutch was in the water.  He was slightly traumatized but eventually got back on the turtle and tried again.

Last Day of School

Here are the last day of school pictures for 2011-2012.  Don't they look so much bigger and way more mature?

Oooops!

The First 500

I am in the process of clearing off my iPhone so I can fill it back up again. Most of my quick everyday pics are now on it because it's surgically attached to my hand. :)These are some of my favorites from the first 500!

How Chloe fell asleep in the swing I will never know.

So full of life and always on the go!

J.B. was looking up at his crazy siblings playing on the swingset.

Safety first!

So pretty!

Seven is fabulous!!!!

For Finn's big number 7 celebration, I gave in and allowed a skating rink party.  It's the only place in town to really have a shindig other than the park and it was hot.  So we had the most awesome puppy party ever. 

 The adorable and very yummy cake!

 Playing on the floor---notice the distinct lack of skaters.

Present time brought lots and lots of smiles.  Her favorite gifts were shiny, dog themed, and colorful. 

And just so I don't forget one day because they are few and far between now:

Finn says "japaneeno's for jalapeno's".  That's just cute.  What hurts my heart is the fact that she has recently begun saying meatball instead of "neatball".  I'll miss that one and the top of spaghetti song won't ever be as cute as it was.
