we played a game of kickball last night. pace is so darn cute, he needed his own picture collage. the rest of the family is featured down below in a slideshow.
how fun, laur! i need to teach my kids how to play kickball. though our yard isn't quite as big as yours, so it might not work as well. your kids are way too cute.
I want your backyard!! With the pool included, of course. I love all the pictures of Loren with the girls and then Pace also trying to be a part of it all. The little collage of him was so cute - that would be fun to do a few of those and then print them big and frame them in his room or something.
gwyneth: (about a rule the kids made for family baseball games) "we have deemed it to be fair and necessary".
liesel: (after finding a great book at the library) "my day could only get better if i got some new boots. or if i suddenly happened to meet selena gomez."
gretchen: "how did pace get his name? from toothpaste without the 't'?"
madeline: (after reading the scriptures about the daughter of jared who marries a guy so he'll destroy her grandfather)"i wouldn't marry any one who wanted me to kill my dad. even if he was cute." liesel's reply: "not even taylor lautner?"
liesel: "here are the new requirements for a boyfriend: a fast car and nice shoes."
gwyneth: "i can't wait 'till i'm a mom and have an unlimited shoe budget."
gwyneth: "i was an only child for like 5 seconds. it was bliss, i'm sure."
gretchen: "i think when i blew my nose some of my hearing popped out."
gwyneth: "they didn't have technology back when mom was a kid."
gretchen: "mom, i just have to tell you one thing. you need to buy us more stuff."
gretchen: "this dinner is not making my day happy."
gwyneth: "so, mom. what do you miss most about being an omnivore?"
gretchen: "why do every place you have to pay money, and they get richer and richer? are they trying to be mean?"
gretchen: "i know the rules for when someone's hitting you. you just stay calm, and then when she's done hitting, you say 'no thanks'."
liesel: "who invented healthy, anyway?"
gretchen: "it tickles my brain when i do a summersault."
gwyneth: "did you notice me laughing with silent mirth?"

This looks like so much fun! When we were little , my dad played Whipple ball with us! Fun to see Loren carry on the tradition.
looks very fun with very nice grass. our grass in TX doesn't allow for that kind of play. how do you make those picture collages? so cute!

Love the pictures of Pace running. I can't believe how big he is getting!
