Let's see, what's been going on around here......
Last Friday night we went to the horse races at Fairmont Park. It's one of the last weekends for races, so I was glad I got a chance to go out there. It's always my favorite place to go out in the summer, although I usually only get to go once or twice a year. We didn't win any money, but we drank a lot and had fun with friends!

Saturday, we went to a diaper shower for Ann and Tim. They got tons of diapers (and other gifts). Hopefully it will last them a few months when the new babies come. That will probably be soon...she is 34 1/2 weeks I think right now. I pretty much base how much fun we had on how good (or easy) the kids were. SO, we had a nice time b/c the kids were on good behavior :) It was a swim party too, but it rained all day, so we didn't get in the pool.
Sunday, I went to church and then went to the pool with Dawn for 3 1/2 hrs! It was soooo nice! It had been exactly a month since I'd been there. The pool is my FAVORITE summer spot, and I never get to go like I want. We are always either busy or the days we're not, it rains. Alli was with us for about an hour, until she almost drown b/c I took her wings off. The lifeguard had to jump in....I was so scared (and embarrassed). She was fine though.
On Tues, Parents as Teachers came over. Alli loves when her 'teacher' comes over to see her. I think they are all right on track with everything. She did mention that maybe we get Alli evaluated for speech therapy. There are some letters she says with a 'd'. Like, the word jar, she says more of dar. And her 'g' is kind of like a 'd' also. She says Grandma, Drandma, and great, she says dreat. Zebra sounds like dbra. So, anyway, I think we might take her to get evaluated. It's free through the school district and I think if she does get it, they would go to her preschool for 30 mins a week. She is so smart and I don't want her not to talk right. I think some speech/letters come with age, but I don't know when they should know which sounds, etc. So, I'm all for it if it makes Alli better :) We'll see how the evaluation goes.
Later that afternoon, my work friends came over to see the kids and we ate pizza. It was fun! At least for me...I get so bored on my days at home!
Today I went over to my friend Danielle's house. She was babysitting 9 kids today with a little help, and then I brought my 4 over to play. Alli played in the sprinkler with the other kids. She had a lot of fun.

Wondering where Jenners is at in all the pics? Following me around wanting me to hold her! ha!
Cassie is getting one of her canine teeth on the bottom.....She looks so darn cute with her big smile. Jenna is still such a mommy's girl. She always wants me to hold her. She can be so sweet. Their hair is getting so long and pretty. Jimmy is such a BOY! He is always taking their toys or whatever they have away from them. When I tell him to give it back, he just stands there and grins or laughs or runs away. They are starting to say a few more words....their newest one is "SpongeBob". Although I hate that show, it sounds so cute when they say it. When the song comes on TV, they all start dancing. They love to dance with Alli to the Britany Spears CD. And for some strange reason, they dance to the song for my soap, Y&R.
Alli at dance class - she loves it. I can't wait to see how she does at her recital later this month.
Funny story about Alli....one day (about a month ago), she wanted to sit on my lap on the rocker and watch SpongeBob. I kept saying, No, I don't want to watch it. Lets watch my show. She kept repeating it, so I said, Alli, what am I supposed to do when you are watching your show sitting on top of me? She said so sweetly, "You can look out the window." haha! I thought it was so funny---she just expected me to look out the window for 30 mins while she watches her show :)
Busy weekend coming up!

The pictures are so cute. The one of Jenna wanting to be held is so funny, especially with your explanation. And of course my Alli on the balance beam. And Cassie on the slide. Then Matt and mike playing on the blanket. Love all them babies.
Love, Mom Ha Ha
Kelly D. used to say g's in place of her s's if you remember... like, "Gim Guit" for swim suit, etc. In fact, I think she still does.
