Yearly Photo Shoot/Check Ups/Stats



I never shared the kids' yearly pics.  Over the summer we went out to Shelby Farms for their 7, 4, and 2 year old photos.  It was suppose to be overcast and cool and instead the sun was shining bright and it was HOT, but we went ahead with the photo shoot.    

Aylin doesn't like taking pics so she will do a few and then she is done!   My Jewels is growing up too fast!  She is in the 2nd grade, plays soccer, softball, and participates in theater.  Most days, she still says she wants to be a chiropractor when she grows up.  Sadly, she has grown out of all the cute little shows and we are struggling trying to find things to watch that she feels is for "big kids" but that mommy feels is appropriate for a 7 year old!  She still likes playing with her dolls, legos, and the newest obsession: SHOPKINS!  





Weston was his typical crazy, never still self - which makes trying to get his picture interesting :)  Puppy is very loving always giving hugs and kisses to those he knows and loves.  He is ALWAYS MOVING, running, jabbering, and is obsessed with all things DOG.  He is still working on learning real words, but even though he is behind with his verbal skills he is making improvements.  His favorite things would include anything chocolate, throwing things, jumping, and his mommy (he is the biggest momma's boy), cars and balls.  His favorite show is MUTT and STUFF.  He still uses his paci when he sleeps and is showing some interest in the potty!








Hilton is in this "I get really goofy when I am suppose to take pictures" phase!  Little Man likes to tell people his name is Buster !?  He is such a sweet little preschooler :)  He is playing tBall and soccer, still loves his PupPup and sleeping - lol, loves transformer rescue bots, avengers, and star wars.  He already thinks he is too big for hugs and kisses when we have to say goodbye :( but likes to cuddle up on the couch still :)  He has recently turned into a big Daddy's boy!  Hilton says he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up.









Check Ups:
Crazy me took all 3 to the DR for their yearly check ups all by myself - they loved these gowns that literally lasted a few moment before they were ripped into shreds.   I love doing little comparison collages so here you go: All 3 at birth, 1 yr birthday party, and 2 yr birthday party with their wellness check up weights!  Basically, Aylin has to start focusing on what she eats vs the amount of exercise she gets, Hilton is fine, and Weston gets to get off the iron supplements!!

JULY


Let us start the July Recap post off with my new shirt...I love it!  We kicked July off with our annual water slide/cook out/movie night at the Risters house with our church family.





And then our 4th of July cook out and fireworks!





Aylin went to STARS camp (theater)!  This year the show was Cinderella Jr and she loved it!  This was her 3rd play and she was a mouse and a carriage wheel - she was the most excited about that!





We met Aunt Tessa out at Shelby Farms for a morning play date!



Cousins Payton and Macey came down and spent the week with us!  We went to visit with Great Granny McCall and ran around Memphis with Kiki :)









We had our annual Power Youth Rally and Lectureship!



We got to see the Perry's!!!

And we squeezed in a trip to visit with Bobby's parents before school started.















We spent our last day of summer vaycay swimming and with snow cones!
