Noah's Ark

2nd number....


Gee Whiz I'm in Showbiz

Isabel's first number...



10 & 11 Months

The boy is all over the place!  Still not walking, but a speed crawler.  Loves to pull up and stand on anything that he can get his hands on.  If your up for the back breaking challenge he loves to hold your fingers and walk. 


One of his favorite things to do - pull all the movies out of the cabinet.


Even in a loud house with 3 siblings, sometimes when you've played hard and need a nap, you just need a nap wherever!  Also notice that sometimes he likes to hold his feet when he sleeps.


Absolute favorite food - Watermelon.  But will "grunt" for any fruit that is in eyesight.

 
This is how momma gets dinner made.  Classic spoon and bucket entertainment.

Dance Recital

This past weekend Isabel had her ballet / tap dance recital.  This girl has got some moves!  So proud of her!  I only have pictures of before & after the dances - I had the wonderful opportunity to be stage mom and we weren't allowed to have a camera backstage.  Ben did get some great video though.


Not Me Monday

Mckmama- Not Me Monday

The DeLoach's are NOT pet-less yet again.  Our turtle has a new home and I'm pretty sure Gracie (the turtle) is happy about it.  No more tanks for her to outgrow!!

Summer Plans

I went to my monthly home school meeting last night and the topic was - What are your plans for the summer?  There were lots of great and wonderful things mentioned, some I had heard of and some I had not.  Then there was the suggestion of just not having anything planned and just spending time with your kids at home.  The school year gets so busy sometimes, yes, even if you home school. 

I loved listening to all the ideas last night of things to do here around B'ham and found myself thinking, oh the kids would love to do that or wow, we've never been there.....but, I do want to guard our time and not be running around all summer long.  So here's what the DeLoach's have planned for the summer.

Make Something Monday - craft of some kind
Time to Read Tuesday - the kids will be in a book club with some friends
What's Cooking Wednesday - making something fun in the kitchen
Thoughtful Thursday - help out elderly neighbors or being intentional about playing with the neighborhood kids
Fun Friday - explore some of the great things to do around B'ham

Now if you see us at the free movies at the RAVE theater on Tues or Wed just know we'll be reading or cooking later that day.  It's really hard for me to pass up something fun that's free!

The Ride


Finally figured out how to post a video from my video camera to the blog....with lots of help from the hubby. 

When Isabel got a "big girl" bike for her birthday the kids decided that even though it's pink and purple Cannon gets Isabel's old one.  He just needs a little help riding it.
Enjoy!

Not Me Monday

Mckmama- Not Me Monday

I did NOT have to let the kids skip their nightly shower one day last week because I did not have one single towel clean.  Not even a beach towel.
