Puppies, Ah-who and BOOTS!

Gabriel is always loving on Daisy and Duke, sometimes a bit too strong, but the dogs love it. Gabe even shares his beloved "Ah-who" aka lovey, aka blankey. Yes, I have called him Linus! Ha!

 Brandy needed a new pair of shoes, of course! While she was browsing, Kien felt it necessary to try them on for her to see if they were the right style. He had fun, which was a WIN WIN situation because taking toddlers shopping for shoes is typically never fun because of screaming children or boxes toppled over from their curiosity of what is in them!

Needless to say, we did not choose these boots. :)

McDonalds Play Date

My sweet friend Katina and I decided that we were going to have to have a play date for the boys because time was on countdown before she and her two sons were to reunite with her husband who via Militarty, moved to Bahrain. Bahrain is an archipelago of 33 islands, the largest being Bahrain Island. You can read more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahrain

Upon our arrival, the boys felt it necessary to just hang back and let us mom's order for them. Too bad it doesn't last into the teenage years! (Ha!)

I am sure they had quite the conversation, and even Gabe chimed in!  

 Still waiting. :)

 Since this was going to be the last time for a play date before they were to head on with their journey to another land, we just let the kids -play -eat -play -eat. No rules were set, it was a free for all. Gabe of course went straight for the car. :)

It is always sad to see any friends leave, especially as far as the Lackey's were moving to. Thanking God for places online such as facebook where, although their physical presence isn't here, we can still "see" them through photo's, posts and updates. :) :)

Enjoying Lunch at Chili's

Greg was with a friend for lunch, so we decided to go to Chili's. Well, I just opened a checking account for each of the kids and Jeremy was eager to use his debit card for the first time. It was actually a very nice time with all four kids. 

 Kien enjoying his food! 

 Gabe also enjoying his food, macaroni and cheese. 

 Note here that even Woody (his 2nd lovey) had to have his hat involved with dinner. (lol)
