It's a GIRL!!!!

Here she is...baby Babby #3 is now Babby baby GIRL!!! We are over the moon, to say the least! Isn't she the sweetest little thing you ever did see?

Summer's Baptism

Here is the proud Godfather of Summer Deeann. She is almost a year, and this is our first meeting (we just missed her birth last year by a couple of weeks). It took David all of 2 seconds to swoop her up and let her know how spoiled she will be over the next few decades! She looks thrilled doesn't she;-)

Cousins

The boys loved being together again! Some dangerous climbing on the new play structure was what had me worried, but it was simple rock moving that caused my little B. Boy to lose his big toenail...OUCH:-(

Bathtime!

David got in some good practice of bathing 3 at a time with a 4th one to entertain on "dryland."

David & Summer

The girl of the hour and her Godfather (please use Al Pacino voice whenever saying godfather, it really doesn't get old...Christian and David);) They had her in the most darling pink dress that all the girls wore when they were babies and then did a full immersion Baptism. Then she wore the most gorgeous white silk gown afterwards. Quite the production!!!

Some of the Fans

These 4 were so excited for Summer that they wanted to get into the "pool" with her (the Baptismal font was in ground and literally the size of a small pool). So it was fun keeping them dry!

Shirts vs. Skins

Team no-shirts await a pass from their Daddy (team shirt) at another game of backyard football, a summer favorite for the Babbys. Daddy barbeques and tires out the boys while I...while I sit around and be pregnant:-)

The Quarterback

Nice catch sweetie!

Huddle

The Babby boys are plotting to school their father in the sport. These boys are playing to win!

One for B. Boy!

It took a couple of times, but B. Boy brought home the winning touchdown!

Class Shot

Nathan had his belt pomotion to white belt with green stripe. He loves Karate and has often received "student of the day" awards for behaviors such as self-discipline, enthusiasm, perserverance, courage, etc. Brandon always yells "hi-ya" as we drive into the parking lot of the karate school.

Nathan is in the middle back...arm straight out!

Pilsong...Victory!!!

A chant the kids yell after completion of a class or special activity.

Congratulations Nay-Nay!

Little brother gives big brother a "Brandon hug" (best in class as far as hugs are concerned) for a well deserved promotion!

The Oakland Zoo

We went on a field trip to the zoo and the kids loved it, it had been awhile. Enjoy the pics...lions, tigers and bears oh my!

My Little Monkey

After we observed the monkeys, the kids opted for some tree climbing. Brandon was so darling imitating and making monkey noises the whole time...ew-ew-ah-ah.

Advanced Tree Climbing

No Mommy needed to standby for these two (even though I tried).

Spiderman!

Does whatever a spider can.

The Petting Zoo

B. Boy loved the baby goats and little lambies.

The Amazing Suitor

WOW, what good sharers. Enjoy this day Nathan, this too will pass!

(No real worries, they all met in car seats. But the picture was hysterical and I couldn't resist).

"Ooohhhh!"

A direct quote from the little boy riding behind me. I believe this was after we got through the tunnel (very dark) and Karli is still deciding if she liked that part or not.

Beep, Beep

The kids loved the rides after the animals and train. Brandon loves driving and says while pointing at the car, "I want to go beep-beep Mommy!"

Vroom, Vroom

Bye, bye from the cool riders!
