.: August and everything after: Summer Summary Series

I am the most lame blogger ever...I know I know. Sorry family and friends that you have to look at pictures months after they were taken!
If I didn't take so MANY pictures I would not have this problem!
Here are some tad bits of info from the Princes:
-Dean started saying I love you mommy. But it really sounds like " I ouwe ewe momma". We were at ER's ballet class and I was watching her through the window and Dean was telling me something. Once I looked down to listen I realized he was telling me he loved me. Yes, I melted right there. He also tells me "tant uww momma" whenever I give him something. Which translates, thank you momma. I love it!
-ER loves to cook. And I have always been super cautious at the stove and letting her cook with me. And when I say she likes to cook, I mean,..once she hears me place a pan on the stove she is running to the kitchen , pushing a chair on the way right up to me and grabbing salt and pepper to sprinkle onto something. So the other day Dean was napping and I let her cook with me. She was like me little sous (sp?) chef. Stirring things, chopping things ( with her toy wooden knife), seasoning things. I was still nervous the entire time. She looked up at me at one point and said with a grin " mom, I'm a good lil chef!". From Ratatouille.
-We close and move into our new home next week!! HOOOO-RAAAAYYYYYY!!!
- And this week I officially start the busiest season of my Photo biz. It is complete nutso!
So throw moving and two kids into the mix and it will be a great opportunity for me to cry out for God's grace and get a chance to Grow like crazy!
I am looking forward to it!

So here is the rest of our summer....
Believe it or not..this incident occurred with a house full of adults and family inside, and somehow the children were unsupervised....and then.....

Don't worry....ER did participate in this fiasco. We all died laughing. More so that there were 4 plus adults in the house and no one knew this was going on.

ER and I had some baking time as a project one afternoon. I have been taking pictures, but ER has been amazing me with her drawing skills. That can be a post a later time. She likes to draw faces now. I did help her with the girls body here...

Okay! So I don't know why I have yet to have captured this on camera. But this is Dean's kissy face. It is the cutest, funniest thing ever! So if he comes to give you a kiss, you get these full kips laid on you. People, it feels like a huge great Dane just licked your face.
