Belly Shots 19 weeks

She's getting a bit bigger now and will be 20 weeks this Sunday.
Jess has been having back issues already but I gave her the support strap I had and its helped some. She has tried all the exercises and takes tylenol but it wont let up much.
We are desperately needing to get her another bed because the one she has is a POS. Just waiting on that damn stimulus check to get here......in July!

Chantelle's First Boyfriend

This is Toby
He has been friends with Jess and Kevin for awhile.
Him and Telle have liked each other since like February.
Dont you just love the get up?
LOL

Telle and Toby on their first date to the Spring River Zoo
They had chaperones, lol, Kevin and Jess tagged along under mom orders
Another big LOL

Toby was over this past Saturday and offered to put Larry's new grill together for him, which in turn earned him brownie points with Dad.
He got it done in 2 hours and had never put one together before.

All the kids enjoyed the day here Saturday. I was going to say lazy day but the boys didnt have it so easy. Larry had them helping him prepare for the pool. I will have pictures up in another post of some pool fun.

Taking one of many breaks since it was pretty hot out.

Saturday evening the kids just lounged around......

......and play the Wii
The guys most definitely love the boxing
LOL

Another boyfriend!!!
And that is why I had to post the Application to Date my Daughter" LOL
Im still waiting to get that back
Wish me luck!!

Larry's Birthday

Well Larry turned 50 June 5th
The kids and I did a little something for him.

I saved my dollars for 3 months to get him a gas grill. He has never had one before. I had gotten $90 saved and Kevin helped by chipping the rest towards his gift.

The boys helped him unwrap it.
I had to use 3 different kinds of paper to get it covered....spongebob, camoflage and balloons.

His favorite flavor cake is chocolate but they didnt have any good ones on hand so Jess grabbed this one because red is his favorite color.

Jess got some really good pictures of him smiling. I know it made him feel good to have a little something for his birthday and that makes me happy.

The icing left stains on the skin (on everything for that matter) and Larrys lips looked like he had lipstick on. He willingly posed for a lip picture but you really cant see it very well.
We were kind enough not to make him wear it lol

Girls At The Lake

After school let out the girls went to the lake with some of Jess' friends. I think they did this last year as well so I guess its turning into an end of school year tradition lol
This is where Kevin works too as a maintenance officer.

Here is Telle, behind her on the other side of that wall is a very deep lake. Its about 10ft before you hit the water.
Oh yeah the location is call Bottomless Lakes
I have actually never been there.

These next three pictures are of Jess and her friend Liz. Her mom use to be the principal at our school. We miss her so much!! Liz doesnt go to our school anymore but still gets together with everyone when she can.

Just some pictures of the kids in the water. They took some paddle boats out too. I would love to take the boys there but at this point it just wouldnt work. Even with sunscreen it would be way too hot for them and there arent that many shelters and sand and babies just dont go together for me. I dont even like sand up my butt lol.

Here is Jess and her friend Jacob.
He has a twin brother that didnt go with them.

Here is Jess with her friend Liz and Bernadette.
Bernadette is also a twin. Her sister was with them but wouldnt let herself be photographed.

Ans here is Jess with her Friends Jordan and Jacob again.
Nope, Jordan isnt a twin lol

Telle......

.....and KEVIN!

Just an added treat of Kevin with a mohawk. It lasted one day because it didnt look right. The front was cut too short lol.

Chantelle's Promotion May 08

Telle had her promotion from 8th grade to 9th grade May 20 2008
I guess Im better late than never with this one too lol
We found her dress at a bargain at Bealls. It was originally $75 and got it for $25. She would have preferred blue but a dress was a dress at that point, especially one she liked. Now shoe hunting was another story.....she has a shoe fetish but is very very picky about style. I think it took over an hour to find a pair that would go with the dress. I finally had to tell her she had 15 minutes to choose. The boys were getting bitchy and so was I. BTW her shoes are red.

Here she is in the hallway at the school before cake

Mmmmm Cake!

Telle with her friend Kimberly
(Larry is in the bg with Ty and you can just see my eyes)

Class of 2012

From what I saw of the ceremony it was nice. I couldnt sit and watch because Ty flipped every time there was clapping, hooting and howling. I went to the back of the auditorium and had to step out the door at every applause. Eventually I ended up standing outside looking in through the crack of the door to see the slide show. Eventually Larry came to switch babies with me and when he took Ty out Cayden flipped because Larry was out of his sight. So we both ended up missing the end of the slide show and giving out of shirts and certificates. Luckily Jess was there and got some pictures for us. Lighting wasnt the greatest but at least I have it to share.

Telle with her friends
Angela and Crystal

Bug getting pictures taken before the dance

They used the chocolate fountain that was at the Junior/Senior Prom
Mmmmmm CHOCOLATE!!!
LOL

Bugs last picture as an 8th grader
She is a High Schooler now!!!

I wish back when Jess had done her promotion they did it more fanciful (if thats even a word). The girls didnt dress up fancy back then. But hey I told Telle we can recycle the dress and she can use it for the Winter Ball. LOL yeah right.

Kevin's Graduation

Well this one is all about Kevin. Im a bit behind since Graduation was like a month ago lol

They have the ceremony out on the football field. We didnt get as many pics as we wanted since the boys were a handful, it was crowded and we didnt have a close enough view to get good shots.

Anyway here is kevin walking the the line, he's the tall one (lol). The zoom made it come out blurry since Jess didnt get up to the fence for it.

After ceremonies, Jess was in a mood but we got one of them together before he took off his gown.

Kevin at his parents house. He got a graduation singing bear, it sings "Money Maker". In reality I havent a clue what that song is lol

The Cake!

And its all over Kevin....

Just a couple pics of the party
His Aunt is in the orange and that is his cousin Troy. He has Menkes. In the Foreground are the girls.

The girls
Chantelle and Kevin's other cousin Rebecca. Her and Telle are in the same class.

Well that seems to be about it for pictures and stuff LOL

Next post will be Chantelle's promotion pictures
