The Double Dutch.



Hide and Go Seek




Easter times 3

Easter 2012! Whew!  

EASTER #1
Here is Brian with Grandmas jean jacket ready to gets some Easter eggs with the kids. Seriously, I don't think he could be any more gay.




A rare photo indeed, all 6 of the Hamilton Grandchildren in birth order. - Michael, Tyler, Sophie, Kamryn, Lauren, and Alex.



A poor egg left for dead.


Someone just found their basket.






EASTER # 2

Celebrating with Keller's, decorating eggs in the kitchen.





EASTER # 3

All gussied up ready for church.


 Easter egg hunt at Nana and Poppies





Spring Fever

Its Spring time here, and that means several things:



Grandma and Grandpa Hamilton are home from South Padre Island and here Tyler and I are displaying the "spring break loot" for the kids.





Kamryn, is happy the birds are chirping.


Tyler knees and legs are banged up already from playing outside.


Finding new spots to play in........


Swaddling up in front of the TV  for cool nights.


Hail Storms



Taking  Sunday drive in the Nissan Sentra, um ya all five of us..... windows down, hair blowing



And last but not least, spiders..... This poor guy died right in front of the sliding glass door, inches from freedom.

Happy Spring Yo.


Tylers new Bed.

After recycling the baby nursery room through all three minions, I was actually glad to see it go. I know call me a hard ass, but  I just don't get all mushy over that stuff. The jungle theme just got to me after 5 years..... and  the crib we were using...... I'm pretty sure should have been deemed "unsafe" for any child due to multiple abuse...-- very evident in the video below.



Brian made this bed. But of course he did, why would we purchase any normal furniture? ....Because we're the Hamilton's, we don't buy shit, we make it.



I think Tyler's happy.


Alex- Gymnastics

Alex is on the pre- team now.(one in the pink) OMG. Flashback city. Like her Dad, she is pure muscle and all torso. Shes the bounciest thing I have ever seen. Graceful? Not so much.
  Here she is doing calf raises, the strength and conditioning part of practice


Back extension rolls on the wedge mat.

Attempting a split leap here across the mats

A visit to Dubuque IA

A visit to Dubuque Iowa to see the latest addition to the Hamilton Family-- Michael Milton!




A tongue sleeper
Gee, really, whose baby is this again? They both look strikingly similar.

Tyler jamming the pacifier back in Michael's mouth

This is the old 69 'er. Hamilton Style. I actually pulled the gallon of milk in the shot for scale. Thank you Chad for this large delicious piece of charred mammal flesh!


Tyler is ready for his meat.
How was that meat Tyler? Can I change your diaper for ya later buddy?



Oh ya, this is the picture of Aunt BeeGee and Liz at the today show. I can now finally say I know someone who was in the crowd that morning besides "Lenny" the regular guy.



Just look at those 2 behind Savannah. Total Nerds. I love it.
