Pictures Extravaganza

Well, here's some more water pictures, some silly pictures of the boys, and some pictures of the twin's helping Dad build the deck!

What a goof-ball Lucas--check out the spurs around the elbows

Snow boots in June? That's normal right?

Yummy, yummy in our tummys! (Thomas, Isaac, and Kevin)

It's that Water-Time of year again!

So I really shouldn’t wait so long in between my blog posts—too much happens which is just way too hard to keep up on! Anyway, to start off, I would like to express Congratulatory wishes to Ryan and Jordane, who got engaged this past Saturday night! Congrats to you both!

Where to begin! We have been having so much WATER fun lately! We played in the water at Grandma Traci’s house with this big sprinkler ball. It’s pretty cool, it rolls and sprays and goes crazy. Lucas and Kevin really enjoyed the ball….and Thomas really enjoyed the squirt guns that she got to go with it.
Grandma Traci has also recently acquired 2 little kittens (they literally just showed up on her deck one day). She was doing well with just letting them be outside, but when the weather turned rainy, the cats got to come inside. Kevin has named them Milo and Otis. It really did come at the perfect time too because Jessica recently took her cat Disco back to live with her! We miss Disco, but are so happy for Jessica and Gerard—they found a cute house that is right down the street from us!
We also went to Papa and Grandma’s to enjoy their new family-sized swimming pool that they got. They set up their backyard with the pool, an awesome Toy Story rocket sprinkler, the fire truck sprinkler, and a normal sprinkler. We had a picnic and played for a solid 3 hours—which meant good naps later that day!
And as if that wasn’t enough fun, we also took the boys to the Circus last week. Before the circus, my mom treated us to the meet-and-greet dinner at the World Arena. At the dinner, the circus came and entertained us a bit. Kevin was ecstatic to meet the Ring-Master and various clowns. Thomas and Lucas were actually pretty good about it as well…but more timid than my talkative Kevin. They got pretty close to the clowns and didn’t scream or anything, so that was good. Gerard and Jessica came too and during the dinner, the clowns got Gerard to stand up and then they juggled big pins over his head and in front and behind him. It was a great start to the circus! I think we all really enjoyed the circus this year. It was a really good show and seeing the boys’ excitement makes the experience so much more enjoyable!
Finally, we went drastic on the boys’ haircuts this time around. Since their hair grows so quickly and since the summer season has officially begun, we decided to save some money and shave the boys’ heads ourselves (well Paul shaved them—I don’t think I am that coordinated). We shaved them down pretty low, so I now have 4 (including Paul) bald boys running around the Krupp house!

Hopefully I will get back to my weekly post soon……but here are numerous pics!
Brotherly Love

Thomas is so much like Bam-Bam...he drug that fire truck up the little hill just to use the hose to put more water in the pool

Run Kevin Run!

Look how brave Lucas is!


Watch out, he's got a sprayer! And yes, he sprayed us all and thought he was hilarious.

Bathing beauty

Double trouble--the twins took their old pool and used it as a boat in the new pool

Krupp Family Circus Time! (we are with the ring-master)

The whole gang--it's hard to tell which people belong in the circus and which don't:)
