I am a total poser. I am not studying and I never watch football. But those are my real glasses.
Lila's a natural gymnast. Too bad there's no money for lessons. Can you believe she's self-taught?
Ethan makes me feel like a kid again. Notice he still has his pretzel in his hand. Notice the permanent bruise on my ankle. I got it when I was a kid, it comes and goes like a mood ring. Notice my ever present side-kick Brutus. That dog is obsessed with me. Of course I love it.
I say jump, my kids say 'how high'. Obedient to a fault they are.
Tai Chi, Yoga, Feng Shui? Lila is usually in her own world.
Yup. We totally kiss our dog. Yup. He's totally part of the family. Whatcha gonna do?
Practicing to be a baller!
Ethan got hit by the ball. He wanted me to take a pic of his war wound, he's totally proud.
Glenn. Always the good sport taking a lovey dovey pic with me. I am sure he'd rather be watching football.
Soups on! Literally. We had soup for dinner.
This all happened in one day??? You make my life look boring LOL And....your hubby looks pretty happy to be in a picture with you :)
ReplyDeleteThis all happened in about 2 hours. I can fit a lot into a day.
DeleteMan Ethan looks so young! Don't tell him I said that. Your kids are good sports to play along for the blog. What am I going to do about your dog? Well nothing seeing as he is attached to your hip! You are constantly being flattered by that member of your family-better not let it go to your head...Cute Marie.
ReplyDeleteLove Always,
Shauna
I won't tell. Oh the kids are totally used to hamming it up for the camera, they love it. Brutus, sigh, no one more loyal than a dog.
DeleteI agree with Becca, your hubby looks pretty content snuggled up next to you. Love the moments you capture, via pictures, in just a day. I am sure you will look back once your kids are grown and so appreciate all of these snapshots!
ReplyDeleteI have a horrible memory so I love the stories pictures tell.
DeleteI wish I was that flexible. Now I need to go make Ben pretzels. Could she maybe get a scholarship at a local gym?
ReplyDeleteOh I wish. We actually have one of the best Gymnastic studios right here in Temecula so there are a lot of good gymnasts here.
DeleteMan I love that trick she's doing on the swing. I wish I could do it. haha have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteBack in the good ol' days we could!
DeleteWow - what a fun family! I love the photo effects of those pictures, they look very vintage. I wear glasses, but only when my contacts need a rest!
ReplyDeleteI love how with some of the instagram apps all your wrinkles just magically vanish.
DeleteLOVE your stripey pants! Homemade Pretzels?!?!? I'm coming to live with YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteLiterally there is nothing better than any type of fresh bread.
DeleteGREAT photos of your beautiful and FUN family! I REALLY want a pretzel...
ReplyDeleteMe too!
Deletelooks like y'all have too much fun. ;) that homeade pretzel looks delish!! have a blessed friday.

Sometimes fun, sometimes frustration and everything in between. Have a great weekend.
DeleteMy Makenna is the same way. Total self-taught gymnast. She makes me a little nervous with all of the tumbling sometimes!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that you're a poser. I always end up disappointed when a photo doesn't naturally take place the way I want it to. I think I'm going to have to try fakin' it ;)
Fake it till you make it. Although some of my best photos of the kids have just been at the last second candid shots. Kids don't really take bad pics though.
DeleteI love every single one of these photos!!! Did you do them with instagram?? That was the very first app I downloaded on my iPhone, but I haven't gotten around to trying it out yet!
ReplyDeleteYup, Instagram is awesome. These were actually taken with my daughters Ipod touch. I love all the different filters. They make my face look much more flawless than it is.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving these pictures, they are great...and even better are your awesome quick-witted captions, you totally crack me up! Poor Ethan with his battle wound, ouch! How fun that he is the caboose/mamas boy- he can be your special little man forever! I'm so jealous it is warm enough for you guys to run around outside without shoes/socks, sigh!
ReplyDeleteBut really CA produces a bunch of wimps. If I need to grab a jacket I get bugged, jacket and shoes, ugggh, is it even worth going outside?
Deletehow cute are all these photos? your family looks like a blast!
ReplyDeleteWith 3 crazy kids (& I mean crazy) it's always a party.
DeleteHow cute are you? Girl you make extraordinary sized pretzels! He was probably hanging onto that thing from sunup to sundown before he finished it!
ReplyDeleteFunny you noticed that. When you use whole wheat the dough doesn't stretch as much so instead of making the 12 I should have I only made 8 (lazy baker). Why was I surprised when they turned out huge?
DeleteYou're totally cute! I like the glasses. :) I kiss my dog too...she's the best lil dog ever - and she loves them. I love homemade pretzels...so fast and easy. I need to make some again soon.
ReplyDeleteDogs somehow have a way of taking over your heart.
DeleteLove the pictures looks like such a fun day outside!
ReplyDeleteThe more we're outside, the cleaner the house stays.
DeleteSuch fun pictures! You all look like you were having a really great time, even the dog.
ReplyDeleteBrutus is happy as long as we're here.
DeleteGreat photos! I love soup for dinner. And that photo of you and your husband is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI especially love it for the leftovers, Glenn not so much.
DeleteI love these posts! Thanks for your continued support this week with everything that's going on - I appreciate it! Hugs - and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you and of course. Hoping Tony's coming home Soon.
DeleteI love every bit of this! My toddler got in the car after preschool today and goes "Whew! It has been a logn week!" haha where do they get these things! Your family looks so fun and happy- you are very blessed!
ReplyDeleteI am. Kids are so funny, I guess it's all relative. Preschool can be tiring.
DeleteI love all your pics! Your such a cute mom! It looks like you and your kids have so much fun together. And thats something they'll never forget!
ReplyDeleteThey are fun kids. They're always up for anything!
DeleteBeautiful pictures!!

ReplyDeleteAwwww, thanks.
DeleteLooks like a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! Love the way that you take your pictures - the vintage look is so cool. Also, your glasses are awesome!
ReplyDeleteInstagram is so fun.
DeleteI love how all the new photos apps and such can make new photos look old. I am dying for one that takes square (and not rectangular) photos. You have such a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteI think my husband has that on his iphone with instagram. I am just playing with it at this point.
DeleteSuch talented kids you have Marie and you look so good in all your pics. You and your guy are lucky to have each other. Beautiful photos, as always
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteSuch pretty pictures - love you, love your family. I want to send Maya over for a dose of "good, wholesome influence."
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday Marie! Hope you are having a fantastic one!
Haha, you might get more than you bargained for!
DeleteLOVE your photos. Love the one of you in the glasses...such a pretty shot! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeletePrecious! :)
ReplyDeleteGlenn, always, the kids, most of the time, me, it's hit or miss.
DeleteYou have a wonderful family. You all look so happy!! I love the picture of you doing "airplane" with Ethan (that's what we call it.) Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYup, we call it that too.
DeleteAMAZING photos of yout children. I can't believe you have 5. WOW! so nice meeting you, Thank you for coming by my blog. New follower here:) xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI have 3. The 5 includes Glenn and I. I grew up with 8 siblings and thought I'd have oodles of kids, but 3 is plenty.
