Update

So my sister says I don't update my blog very often...I know. The only time I have found that I can really sit down and be on the computer for an extended period of time is when all the kids are in bed. And you all know how precious that time is! I decided tonight to put off cleaning the kitchen and post some pictures so you can see what we've been up to lately. In an effort to save time posting on my blog, I haven't edited my pic.'s or cropped them. For some reason, those small things seem to take much longer than they should.

Our neighborhood pool finally opened the day before school started. Yes, great timing. This hasn't stopped the kids from going swimming at least every other day...even when it's not hot out. They claim the pool water is SO warm. Um, I've felt it and I beg to differ. There is something very exciting about swimming in a pool!

Chase and Faith love to put Ty and Crew in the toy basket and run down the hallway w/them. It's fun to see all 4 kids laughing at the same time.

Chase is in tackle football this year. He is on a team w/all his friends. His coach lives down the street and is a good friend of ours. His first game they lost 26-20. This is after his second game (they lost 12-6) w/his cousins Mason and Bo who came to watch. Chase is hopeful they'll win the next game this Saturday. Go Bulldogs...hear the bark, feel the bite!!!

Faith is always trying to sell something in order to make money. She even tries to sell Kirk and me some of our own things. Faith said she wanted to have a cookie stand last Saturday at Chase's football game. Here she is w/some of the neighborhood friends (who were trying to figure out how they could get a cut of the profits...don't worry, Faith held her own). She ended up making $19.00. She wasn't too happy to cough up $5.00 for cookie ingredients.

Faith frequently clicks away on my camera. Here's a cute pic. she took of the babies and my mom. Ty likes to snuggle and Crew likes to move.

Our neighbor gave us a Leapfrog table toy. As you can see, Crew likes to climb on top of it. He also recently figured out how to climb out of the super saucer...I also found him in Chase's desk drawer stuck and unable to get out.

For some reason both Ty and Crew like to hang out by the stools. Ty will stand up to them and...

Crew likes to try to crawl through them. Why do babies like to try to fit through things that aren't easy to fit through?

We are all excited, some more than others, that Crew is walking! Faith shot this pic. of Crew taking a few steps (sorry it's out of focus). When he walks he always has his mouth open. He LOVES to walk.
