Home Improvements

New wainscoting.
Benny and my daddy did this for me for my birthday. We have done so many improvements on our home, it makes me so sad that we are going to move. Oh well I guess it is time to move on. We will be renting for the next 4 to 5 years. I think Ben will appreciate the break from painting and repairs though.
Some day we just might buy a home that has already been improved.

Soccer Video

This is one of the two times she was knocked down during the game. I was pretty surprised she didn't cry.

Little Soccer Player

So this is Austin's first year playing soccer and she LOVES it! She is quite a tough little thing. And when she gets tired she just runs right off the field to get a drink.

She loves these sunglasses. It was hard to convince her to take them off before the game stared.

Today was picture day. She thought she was so lucky to hold the ball.

I must admit she is quite stylish.

Kira's Shower

This is my cute cousin Kira. She is having her first baby in July. My mom and I threw her a baby shower on Tuesday, she got lots of cute little things.

Update

This is Shaun and Hannah Montana. Austin is in LOVE with Hannah Montana. Though up until last week she had never seen the show, or movie. About a year ago Ben bought her a little microphone with H.M. on it and she has been in love ever since. We just let her watch the movie, and she was surprised to realize that H.M. real name is Miley, and she has brown hair just like Austin.

Here is our little bear, not much of a complainer. My parents bought all of my kids life jackets (thanks Mom and Dad) The big kids love them. Every morning they wake me up and say, "Mom can you unbuckle my life jacket I need to go potty" Natalie on the other hand is not so sure.

I love this little group of little people. The weather has been beautiful lately. We have had a lot of fun outside.

Our Little Inch Worm

Now if she could only catch the cats.

The Baby Is Married!

On Saturday Bainzy and Becca were married. It was such a nice wedding. For your viewing pleasure...

The happy bride and groom.

Here they are again. Becca's dress was gorgeous!

Here is Bainzy just before people started crowding in.

Of course I could not pass up the opportunity to get a family picture since everyone is dressed up. Now if I could only get everyone to look at the camera.

Austin girl dancing with her Uncle Jeff. My kids have really enjoyed him being in town.

All of the original Sommers. Mom, Doug, Me, Shane, Jeff, Amanda and the Daddy.

Natalie is just like her Aunt Amanda... They just can't pass up a mirror.

My Shaun boy had a blast. He especially enjoyed the chocolate fountain. Please see the mother's blog for those photos.

Tricia and Lou. Oh these two make me happy.

All of my siblings.
