These boys are so stinkin' adorable in those sunglasses and boy ties. Baylor wore this outfit to church on mothers day, including his snakeskin boots, and I just laughed so hard at how cute he was all day. I think that made my day best of all!
At the beginning of our time at the lake the fish are trying to swim up the stream. So they are so fun to catch, even with bare hands. Sometimes the kids have little nets, but this one Elliette really did catch with only her hands and that little bucket. They love to do that!
Uncle Todd is the best!
One of our favorite things is it warming up and bringing Nana home to visit! Everything is more fun with Nana around. I guess that we are playing too hard to take many pictures of it though, oops!
This goofball!
Dawsyn had a great year of Piano with Sharee Hamilton. She is the best teacher and is always so positive and encouraging. Dawsyn really learned a lot this year, and rocked her recital, being one of the only ones to memorize her piano pieces. Great work, Dawsyn!
Time with Reggie and uncle Turner coming to play is always fun. We had some bike rides, great visits, park time, backyard playing, fort building and many times of overwhelming little Reggie with our craziness and too much love!
Playing spikeball. A great backyard workout.
Enjoying our backyard pool!
Kyndal got her haircut, with new bangs! She is looking so grown up!
This was one of the days in the spring that I was so appreciative that we homeschool! We did a bit of work and then got out on our bikes and explored the creek. The girls went off upstream exploring, while I sat and watched these boys learn and play together. It was magical! These moments make all of the hard and crazy worth it!
Deakin learned to push the button on my keys that make the van beep. He thought this was pretty amazing!
Baylor was tall enough to drive the go carts at Shakers. It was hilarious to watch him drive. He could barely reach the pedal and so went really slow. He also was often watching the other cars and so was swerving all over the place. I guess good experience to get now while he is so small. It was fun to watch!
Marshall finished his last page of math in grade 1! After this he jumped up and down, shouting that he is now in grade 2! It was pretty cute! I love being a part of these moments!
