Yes...

...I am that mom that grabs her camera, while the baby is stuck in a weird awkward spot. 

Obviously he is thrilled by me doing nothing. :)

Let the summer begin!

A few days after school got out the kids were board... so we whipped out the handy dandy water balloons and went at it. 

Tuck's first haircut!

I always give my boys their first hair cut around their first birthday... it's like a Larson right of passage! Tucker was a little wiggle worm but luckily Dad was around to help!

 

Hello Mom... what ya doing up there?

 

I'm pretty sure all 3 kids were behind David in this picture shouting "Hooray!" 

 

Desperate times call for... Superman style!

Tucker Turns ONE!!!

On June 7th, my little Tucker, aka Tuckster, aka Tuckie, aka Tuck turned ONE! This kiddo has brought so much joy to our family. He is a happy, easy baby! Tucker loves: His dad (We do that cruel game where you put him across the room and both David and I call his name to see who he goes to. He always goes running to David... and now you know that I call it a cruel game!) He also loves his brothers and sister and get's A LOT of attention from them. He loves food and is the messiest little eater you ever did meet. People always stop me in the store and tell me what a little flirt he is... Sorry, he's like this with everyone, not just you ;) He was a early walker and was walking by 11 months.

 

Oh my, such a cute little munchkin! Happy Birthday Buddy!

I always said...

I always said that Owen would be the first with a broken bone or stiches... and of course I was right. Poor little Owen broke his collar bone back in June at Aidan's soccer team party. He was on a bouncy house fell backwards off a slide onto the ground right onto his collar bone. Poor little buddy! After a late night trip to urgent care and a orthopedic pediatric specialist follow-up, we were told to keep it slinged for 4 weeks and then for 2 more weeks whenever we left the house. I would say he is the cutest little slinged boy I have ever met.

 



My Ballerina

Brinn took ballet last year and had her final performance in June. Her class did so good and Brinn was quite a leader in her class. I wish we had gotten some more pictures of her but to say this was a busy day would have been un understatement. This day was jam-packed but also included a surprise for Brinn, a snake of her own which she named Rosie, in place of roses ;) 

Aidan's Baseball

This spring Aidan played baseball. HE DID AWESOME! In the beginning it was a rough start. He is not a natural and had only played one other season. At practices he was not trying very hard to improve, and he really struggled in the games. And then one day it clicked... after some hard work by Aidan. He really started focusing and practicing and he started connecting with the ball. It was so fun to watch him and 2 times he was awarded the team ball because of his improvement and good games.

Tea Party

Grandma and Grandpa Larson came into town in April. Brinn got this beautiful tea set from Grandma and was dying to use it. So Grandma, Brinn, Owen, and Grandpa had a glorious tea party.

 

This girl is one happy little lady!

(And while typing this, my cute picture of Grandpa and Owen disappeared

and the picture is on my other computer. Bummer!)
