Ready for summer!


Just yesterday we went to the sprinkler park and the kids ran around and had a blast. Sarah's poor shoulders got a little bit red. Sam was afraid of the sprinklers but thought a lot about getting in the water and joining the girls. He did have fun on the boat pretending to be a pirate though.

Speaking of Sam, I had a picture of him(which I should post) holding a rolie polie. Rebekah loves them and names them(very interesting names) and so now Sam loves them too. Sam adores Rebekah. He thinks she is just the very coolest person ever. So today I noticed he is holding the rolie polies more than smashing them which is certainly a step in the right direction!

Tonight, as we gathered for family prayer he showed me a Nemo swim diaper like he had worn at the park. He kept chatting on and on about it. Then he went away and came back with four more and announced, "I have more Nemo!" It was so cute and so advanced for his age(he just turned 2 in February).

Rebekah's Wedding


So Rebekah tells me she is going to make pizza, fruit punch, and serve watermelon for her wedding. She's very romantic. Isn't this a cute picture of her? This is back in 2005 when she was just two years old.

cousins camp

I saw an article in some parenting magazine about creating a cousin's camp. It was a like a sleep away camp but just for the family. They had tshirts and everything. It was so cute. I think we will have to do this sometime. It would be awesome.

Summer is coming


The weather is so warm already. The kids are outside eating their Otter Pops. The otter pops are leftovers from Grandma Jim's bday present to Sarah last June! I guess they have a long shelf life though and the kids sure enjoy them. As for school, there are only 12 days left! Woohoo! That will be a nice break for all of us. Sarah does have a little bit of catching up to do to be ready for 2nd grade next year but it will be easy peasy because she is such an eager learner(usually).

Sam is sure getting big and talking lots. He loves to say "mine" and repeat just about everything that is said, even our family and meal time prayers. He loves "Bepah" and "rah rah" because they are so cool and loves to help Daddy. Sometimes the kids go to work with Jon when he is on call and has to fix something. This past weekend Jon took them up to his parent's house so he could help with their DSL. They had a great time and came home with a bunch of socks that didn't fit Jessica. Bekah loves the colorful ones.
