Upside Down Fun

The 3 bros enjoying their movie.

Gabriel was enjoying his milk while watching The Letter Factory, when Luke decided to join him on the floor, and all of 2 seconds later Kaden was there with them! I cannot let a time with the 3 of them together pass without a photo, so here they are! The closer shot was taken upside down, see my toes! :) I showed Luke the upside down picture in the camera and he asked if he will be stuck that way. He is so funny.

Another quick prayer request: we were supposed to leave tomorrow to drive to Grandmom's house but Gabriel started running a high fever yesterday and still has it today. He is very uncomfortable and I don't know when we will get to leave. I do not want to chance getting stuck in a hotel with a sick baby. Prayers for a quick recovery please! (went to the doc, no ear infection or anything, probably just a virus----ugh, I am tired of that word!!!!) Thanks for thinking of us!

Doe, A Deer, A Female Deer...

I went to take the recycling out last night and there were 5 deer in my side yard. Just staring at me. I know the picture is not very good, I couldn't get the picture at all in fact, I guess it was too dark so I let my photoshop program adjust the colors. The picture didn't come out well, but you can still see them. Flash doesn't even react to the deer anymore, they are in the yard all the time.
Anyone still singing the Sound of Music now??? :) Ray, a drop of golden sun...

Chick-Fil-A Play

Who's excited for lunch??

I'm driving and I like it!

Kaden climbing way up!

Look at me Mom!

Okay, so Wednesday was just a crazy day all around. Luke had his music program at school so Kaden and Gabriel stayed with my neighbor. Luke and Kaden the had a dentist appointment at 1 pm, which is nap time for everyone. So, I laid everyone down at 11 so they could rest. I got them up at 12:30--middle of lunchtime--to go to the dentist. The dentist appointments went perfectly, the boys were all great and no cavities! The boys went back on their own, I didn't even get to go with them, and everytime the door opened I could hear Kaden jabbering away "Hi Luke, Look Luke, Chair Luke, Hi Luke", it was hilarious! So afterwards I took the boys to Chick-Fil-A and more importantly their indoor play place. The had the best time, just look at Gabriel's face! Then we headed off to Target to waste time. They were all really tired but really good there (how could they not be, everyone LOVES Target, right Kelly??) Kaden and Gabriel slept all the way home from there. They got to bed 10 minutes early and I didn't hear a peep from any of them. Crazy day for us, it makes me realize how important our routines are! I am curious at how the summer will go for us, there will be a completely new routine, no school for Luke and we will have Daddy back :) I am quite excited about that part!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday, dear Daddy,
Happy Birthday to you!!!

We love you and we miss you Daddy. Hope you have a wonderful day! Happy 29th!!! Love, Your Family.

Spring Music

Luke had his Spring Music program at school today. It was so adorable, he loves being in front of everyone. Half the time he was lipsynching, but he does it with such emotion in his face----is he a pop singer in the making? Maybe he'll be on American Idol 2020, wouldn't that be cool Aunt Belva??? Kaden and Gabriel stayed with neighbors (thanks Coopers) so that I could take photos and use the video camera to capture the action. Now that would explain the kinda bad photo of Luke and his class, yeah the one where you can't even see Luke's face...well, I was taking pictures with my left hand while using and trying to steady the video camera in my right hand. As you can tell, that didn't work out too well. But you can tell it's Luke anyways (you know, the one in the yellow shirt) I think the tree photo more then makes up for the other one. What a handsome guy! Luke is getting so big! He looks so old in this picture. Why do our kiddos have to grow up so fast?

Luke and his preschool class.

(Hey Aunt LeeAnn, do you think the boy in the green looks a little like Peter? :)

Dancing the Night Away

The boys and I were dancing away to Laurie Berkner's DVD and I got a photo of all 3 of them. (I know it's not the best picture but it was an effort just to get the 3 of them in the shot!) Look, even the baby is dancing. What a fun time we had! If you parents of littler ones don't have this DVD, GO AND GET IT!!!! I promise it will be a hit. The kiddos love to sing and dance to it. :) Thanks Grandmom for buying ours!

Extra Fun Photos

Ring the bell.

Kaden and the bubbles.

Gabriel trying to jump with Drayce and Luke.

I had to put more of the Mom's Day pictures on here. The boys had so much fun and the pictures are too cute NOT to share them with you guys.

Look, there was GRASS for the boys to play on, it was amazing. I told them they will have grass at Grandmom's this summer too :)

Mom's Day was Boys' Play

We had so much fun yesterday. We were invited over to Luke's friends house for a BBQ and playtime. The kids and I had a blast. The weather was wonderful and the boys played outside for hours! There was baseball, soccer, remote-control vehicles, bubbles, Big Wheels, fire engines, swinging, sand and buckets, jumping, running, climbing, and more of Gabriel walking! It was a full day and the 3 boys slept in this morning, I had to wake them up to get Luke off to school! I took way too many pictures but they were all so cute yesterday I just had too!

For those of you who don't know (or didn't read Belva's blog) you can click on the picture on the blog and it will make the picture bigger so you can see it better. The reason I am telling you this is so you can see Gabriel's cheeks puffed out while he was trying to blow bubbles. It was the cutest thing ever!!!!!! He tried so hard to blow bubbles and just eventually ended up licking off the soap! :)






There are more pics to come, blogger won't load them right now!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Luke with my 'flowers'.

Luke's presents from school.

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers out there! I hope your day is wonderful and relaxing. We have been given the greatest job in all the world so let's all be thankful for our beautiful children!

Luke brought home some gifts for me from school. I love my paper flower, I think it's beautiful. He also brought some Hershey kiss rose buds--he has learned at an early age you can never go wrong with chocolate. :) What a sweet boy.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Church at the Park

Luke gets caught.

Kaden-man during a smile run-by.

Sweet smile.

Last night was our small church meeting. We met at a downtown park and had a picnic dinner. The boys obviously had a wonderful time. Gabriel LOVED the slide and tried his hardest to climb up it. Kaden-man wouldn't stay in one place very long, there was WAY too much to do at the park. Luke had a great time playing football with everyone. He did a great job, Daddy would have been very proud. He dove on the 'fumbles' and tackled really well. What a fun time we had.

Kaden on the fun triple slide.

Look at that boy run, what form!

Gabriel playing on the slide.

I'm Walkin', Yes Indeed...

Walk Like A Man,
Fast As You Can,
Walk Like A Man, My Son....

I know you are all singing along--gotta love the Four Seasons! May 9th, 2006, a mere 474 days after his birth, Gabriel Todd started walking. He has been taking a few steps here and there for the past week or so, but today he has had marathons, like 15 steps in a row, and he has done that like 3 times! I am so proud. Michael called and I was able to share the news with him. And look, I got a cute picture too! Daddy will love that!

My other big news is that I enrolled Luke in Kindergarten. Where does the time go? My babies are growing up too quickly! It's a good thing I want another one :) :) :)

Let's go Cardinals, let's go!!!!!

Here are some pictures to make every baseball fan smile. My boys are cheering for the Cardinals, following their Mothers lead. As soon as I turn on the game, the boys start cheering, even Gabriel starts clapping along. It is hard for Luke and Kaden to pick up the concept that sometimes the Cardinals are gray and sometimes they are white. So now it's the Cardinals wear white when they play at Grandmom's house. Let's hope their cheering brings us a winner as we are on a 4 game skid... Let's go Cardinals, let's go......yeah, I mean it, let's go and win one!!!!

Blast from the past!

Mike, Me, James (Mike's bro), Thad (my bro)

When I was home at Mom's in March, I found pictures of when Michael and James came to Oklahoma to visit us. This was the summer of 94, summer before our senior year of high school. I think it's safe to say that we have all changed quite a bit! I couldn't resist sharing it! I definitely think the Harmon boys have changed the most!
