Busy week!

Kali had one of her best friends from dance come over this week.

 We finally went to the dollar store and bought a bunch of fun stuff to fill our pinatas with. (our backyard is so sad looking since our grass is frying in this heat)

 We spent 2 WHOLE DAYS cleaning this room.

 The kids had Swim Team all week & a meet on Thursday (it was a HOT one)

 They had a great time and each of their relay teams won 2nd place!

Kai also had basketball practice, a game & skills clinic. Kali goes to tumbling during his class but watched a little bit with me before she had to go. Look at this silly girl.

 My sweet, tough, cranky, loud, loveable Kai.

 Kali and I put up the 4th of July decorations

 Kali made these cute firecrackers out of toilet paper rolls, we got the idea on Pinterest.

We just got home from swimming at Grandma Kathi's. Kora is napping and now I am officially exhausted! What an eventful week.

Father's Day 2013

 

Sunday was Father's Day and we spent the day eating and relaxing (two of Mr. Becker's favorite things to do) The kids are SO lucky to have such a strong, loving, fun, hard working Dad.

The kids gave Daddy a coffee cup with pictures of them on it and I got him some new shirts for work.

We sure do love this handsome man :)

First Swim Meet

Thursday afternoon was the kids FIRST swim meet!

Kai was excited and Kali said she was nervous but she did great!

Once we got there she was so happy and running around socializing. (she wears her goggles WAY too tight)

 My cute little swimmers

 Not sure Daddy was too happy seeing Kali surrounded by boys

 Kai and Julianne waiting to race

 Here goes Kai!

He got 4th place in freestyle!

 Kali saw friends from school

 family friends

 there was a lot of waiting

 and swimming

 muscle flexing

 more swimming

 and more waiting

3 hours later we were done & the kids said they can't wait for next time
p.s. all of the really good, clear pics on this post were taken by our friend Sean Hegarty

11 Months

Kora is 11 months old.

Time is flying by with this crazy girl!

She is usually standing around knocking stuff off of shelves or eating anything that rolls on the floor. YUCK!

She loves her little arm chair, the Kazoo, dancing to music (seriously she loved watching Kali's ballet recital) she likes playing at my parent's house, doing anything with Kai, taking a bath,

 and most of all EATING!

 Kora snactched my grilled chicken right off my plate the other day at Grandma Kathi's house

 and her new love is swimming!

 She is taking two naps a day now (thank goodness!) and only gets up a few times at night.

We just love this wild & crazy girl!

Basketball

Kai started basketball a few weeks ago and had his first game Saturday.

He also has an awesome coach, Daddy!

 He said he had a fun time and his team did really well.

 My handsome boys :)
