Ice cream and swimming......the perfect combination.

Are 19 month olds supposed to be on trampolines? Oh well, mine was!

My how they have changed!

Lyn sent me this picture that was taken last year at the beach. It is hard to believe that those little babies are now wild toddlers. Nash lost those two front teeth and already has big ones in their place! Makes me sad.

We're Back!

I have taken a little blogging hiatus because of our crazy, busy life! Things have seemed to settle down a bit and Nash is away at camp. SO with only two children here(one napping and the other playing video games) I decided to catch everyone up on the Dehmers. Nash had a busy Spring playing baseball. He also had his first communion. Ridley played baseball as well and graduated from Trinity Kindergarten (SO SAD!) Rimes has turned into a wild, bossy, prissy, SO MUCH FUN, little girl! We have been to the beach, had play dates, had tournament baseball and much more! Here are some pics!WARNING!!!!! There are a ton. I figured out how to use the pictures from my phone and now I am dangerous. Enjoy!

Strong River

All three kiddos climbed onto Nash's bed before we left. Rimes would have stayed in a heartbeat!

Nash's home away from home...... without air conditioner! Better him than me!

This is Nash's friend Barron that is in his cabin. Nash was saying,"Enough pictures mom!".

It doesn't have to cost a fortune!!

Last year when Rimes was only 4 months old, my grandmother bought her an Easter basket that had a detatchable tutu rapped around it. I remeber thinking how I couldn't wait to see her prancing around in it. Well the time has come my friends! Sorry for the not-so-hot picture but she was on the move and I couldn't get a good one. The funny thing about this tutu is that my sweet grandmother got it at Walgreens I think. It couldn't have been more tham $10 and look how precious it is! Don't think Rimes doesn't know it! What a mess.

What? The Flu!

Well, in spite of the fact that we all got the flu shot, we discovered Thursday that Ridley has the flu. Apparently the shot doesn't cover the "B" strand....go figure! Right now we are just crossing our fingers no one else in the family gets it because we are supposed to be heading to the beach fpr spring break in a week. Today was just too pretty to sit inside even though Ridley was sick. Jett bought us dye for Easter eggs. SO, we took them outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather while we dyed them. You got to make the best out of an icky situation!

Little Miss Independent!

Rimes no longer wants to be fed. She only wants to feed herself. SO this is what the aftermath of every meal looks like!



And this is how YUMMY she is all clean and ready for bed!

More Cousin Time

We went to the park and then for ice cream with Breck, Jr. I say this a lot but it is the truth. I would have never given the boys ice cream at 14 months. They didn't even know what a sweet was. Miss Priss ate an entire bowl of vanilla and loved every bite. I kind of think she knew she was getting away with something because she just grinned a sly grin after every bite. Jr. on the other hand didn't care for it that much. He is not big on cold things. It was still a fun outing for everyone.

Fun at Dot-t and Papa Joe's!

We went to dinner last weekend at the Dehmer's and this is how the kids found entertainment! Dot-t had gotten a blanket out so that Rimes could sit on it like prissy,little girls do and play with her dolls and such. NOT HAPPENING when you are the little sister of two brothers. It turned into a fair ride with Dodds and Papa Joe at the reigns.We only had one minor injury when Nash's leg caught the refrigerator. The fun had to stop sometime!


I have one rule that I stick to in life and that is NO IRONING. I have really tried but 1. I am truly no good at it 2. by the time I finish all of the ironing nap time is over and nothing else in the house has gotten done. That is what the Cleaners is for and I am very thankful for them. On this particular occasion Dodds was leaving the next day to go to the Superbowl(Yes you heard me correctly. Club level seats on the 50 with Demi and Ashton right above him but that is a story for another day.) Anyway he was then leaving Tampa to go to D.C. for business and forgot to send his clothes to the laundry. He asked me if I could iron and I just gave him that look. So he decided since we were going to his parents for dinner that he would ask his mom to do it. Not only did she do it but she got out the heavy duty steamer and got it PERFECT!!! I have NO SHAME!! Thanks Dot-t for dinner and laundry service!

Playdate!

Jett had Breck today because Lyn and Breck are skiing so we got together to let the babies play! Breck is just so sweet and the typical first and only child(thus far) and Rimes well, how do I put this in a nice way....she IS NOT. She is a typical third child with two older brothers. She likes a toy ONLY if Breck is playing with it and the same for her little chair. She only wants to sit in it if he is sitting in it. I was finally glad to see Breck fight back when he stole Rimes' blueberry muffin from her. The kids had a blast, even Ridley and we wore them out for their afternoon naps!
This is me trying to stage Breck playing with dolls just to make Sr. mad.



GOT IT!!!



Ah Ha! I'm Batman!


NOT loving Batman so much.



Hey! That's my chair!


I MEAN it!

Can't we just get along?


O.K., we'll share.

Going for a stroll in the limousine!


Hey Buddy.
