ZOOOOOOOM!

As a joint birthday gift, Booper gave Barry and Chuckles a day at Talladega Racing Adventure. The idea is you can go to Talladega, learn how to drive a real Nascar race car, then you actually get to get on the track with a group of other drivers and RACE!!! Just like the real thing!  There is an instructor in the car with you, but he is just sitting in the passenger seat- he doesn’t have any emergency controls or anything. From the sound of it, he is really just an in-car cheerleader!

Barry has officially decided that he may explore being a racecar driver as his new profession. They loved it! Mom emailed that Dad had even gone to bed with a smile on his face! (And for those of you that know dad, that is not a common occurrence!) Ask Barry about his day there- then watch his face light up! It was a GREAT gift! They had an awesome time! Good job, Boopster!

Barry’s stats:

Lap #                       Top MPH

Lap 1                       105.27

Lap 2                       135.63

Lap 3                       147.65

Lap 4                       155.08

Lap 5                       159.86

Lap 6                       165.95

(which is as fast as the cars would drive!! Ahhh)

Happy Birthday to YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Watch out!!!

The Matriarch is coming to B'ham!!! Yup! Din Din is coming for a girls day Sunday! Woo hoo! Dad and Barry are going to Talladega to race their very own race cars and Booper and Din Din are coming to join in on the fun!

Barry has promised to  take pictures of he and Dad burning rubber and hopefully I will be in full paparazzi mode taking pictures of the rest of the family!

I am begging Charley to stay in Alabama this weekend so we can have her in on the action with us! I am so excited about having everyone here! How fun!

Here’s caden playing the air guitar…. He wouldn’t let me film him from the front, so this is the best I could do, but I thought it was precious!

The twins eating popsicles! They were asking for ‘red’ popsicles and Lauren kept telling them that they were out of red and all they had left were purple- She opened the package and handed one to caden and he screamed ‘BLACK!!’ I know it was a ‘you had to be there moment’ but it was really funny!

 

I love these kids!! They are so fun!

Inducted into the Beach Babe Club…

Here she is… properly inducted! She laid out, went to the beach and got in the ocean, she went on two walks on the beach and got stuck in the pouring rain during one of them! She napped, she relaxed, she’s officially a beach babe! She was such a good sport and this mommy was so sad to leave her this morning after a long weekend of soaking in quality time with my little peanut!

Laying out by the pool!

This is the LIFE!!!

Hanging out with Booper- she is so tan! London looked like a white sheet of paper laying on Booper’s lap!

At the beach, my new favorite place! (and notice how my mommy’s skin tone matches mine perfectly! Glad Mommy didn’t take a pic with the bronze goddess above!!)

She even put her little tick tack toes in the ocean!

Worn slap out from all the excitement!

Bad Dreams :(

We took a bunch of pictures of Renny playing with the kids yesterday but none of them turned out. I do have a cute picture of the twins eatins 'pacycles' that I will post later! Also a presh video of Caden playing the air guitar! He's such a doll! Stay tuned!

Speaking of Caden- he had his first nightmare last night :(
Lauren said she heard him wailing at the top of his lungs at 3 am screaming 'MOMMA HELP ME!!!!' Lord knows- im sure she was scared to death.
 
He dreamed that a monkey was crawling through the window and coming to get him. How sad but cute at the same time!

So, we will hereby banish all monkey's from the house. Done.

He read my mind!!

I originally posted that Power bought baby girl a baby bikini and that I would repost when she was awake and dressed up!

But then he read my mind and sent me this!! Thanks Pow Pow! Ahh! She’s so cute! I can’t wait to take her beachside!! Look at those little short legs! :)

Sunday Funday

For the first Sunday in I don’t know how long, we finally had a chance just to sit back, breath, and enjoy our little bham family. It was refreshment to the soul! Even if it was just for a few hours! We have missed each other!!

Cheeks for days….

Smooches for momma!

Sitting up all by myself!

And promptly tumping over!!

My mommy’s name is chubby, My daddy’s name is chubby…

All of my mornings are awesome

Unfortunately I missed the 1st thing pics with London this morning- her sleepy smiles are to die for, but here is my life when the sun rises…

Too distracted by the light on the camera to smile, but still cute as pie!

Bedhead

Practicing to be a mommy one day!

It couldn’t be better… I love these little people so much!

(Notice no pics of mommy or mommy here… I usually have half a face of make up on at this point and Im sure Lauren is okay with me not snapping any first thing in the am pics of her either! Maybe Ill repost with a ‘my afternoons are awesome’ post of everyone at their finest! )

Precious child!

Getting pictures of this little munchkin is decidedly hard to do! I need a stalker for my family (like I was with the twins!)

Milestone- we can hold on to a rattle and shake it… not on purpose and we have no idea where it is as soon as it leaves her line of sight, but NONETHELESS- we can grip a rattle! London’s momma is so proud! We’ll work on finding it next!!

This is how we spend most of our time now! Kicking like a wild woman is SO MUCH FUN! I love it when she gets all keyed up then works those little kickers out!
