Meeting new baby cousin - AMELIA!

We were suprised with a visit from Adam and Anne (Steven' brother and his wife) in the beginning of June. A death in her family brought them this way, and we were so excited to meet the newest cousin - Ameila! the boys just LOVED holding her - everyone wanted to hold her. She's such a sweet baby!

Mmmm.. chocolate donut!!

Brynley's first chocolate covered donut! I think she liked it!!! he he he

Trampoline Fun

It was really hot this day - so we decided to stick a sprinkler under the trampoline and let the kids have fun! They loved it! It was a great way to cool off! While Brynley's legs were exposed in her swim suit I just HAD To take a picture of her cute little chubby legs! I love that roll right behind her knee! She has definately made up for any weight she didn't gain or lost! I love baby chub!

Two Piggies!

i finally decided to try and get 2 piggies in Brynley's hair. So cute! Except she's at the really obnoxious stage where she's always pulling her "pretties" out of her hair! She knows exactly what she's doing too - because she watches me the entire time she pulls them out! She looks really silly with only one piggie and her hair going crazy out the other side! I've been having a lot of fun making little clippies for her hair. These ones were my favorite out of the little flowers. Can you believe how long her hair is getting - and so quickly too! She was getting pretty tired of me snapping photos though - here's one of her getting upset! WHAT A FACE!! (now if only I could edit out that runny nose! whoops!)

Gone Fishin'

Here's the boys memorial day weekend fishin at the cabin. They fish weren't really biting at this point though - but they did have fun! I wasn't really thinking about the camera too much.. but there's as couple others of them as well. brynley was always asleep when i finally thought to get out the camera! They really enjoyed letting off fireworks and making S'mores as well!

First run through the Sprinkler!

Here's a couple of pics of Brynley running through the Sprinkler - it was soo cute! The sprinkler was hitting the sidewalk in front of our house and she would just walk back and forth letting it hit her in the face and squealing with delight! Who would have known she's like that cold cold water! (it really wasn't a super warm day either!) She has really come out of her shell these past few months. Finally feeling better and getting into everything! She's getting quite the personality! may 26

Luke's Preschool Graduation - May 22

Luke's preschool (jumpin' jacks) threw a graduation party on May 22nd. The theme was candyland and they sang some cute songs and wore light blue tie-died shirts. They all looked SO little! For refreshments there was tons of sweets - candy, lollipop cake, bright colorful cupcakes.. it really did look like candyland! And the decorations were great too. Luke was so proud of himself. He talked all week about how he was going to get a "ploma" and then once he got it.. he folded and wrinkled it all up! ARGH! Oh well.. we just flattened it out and we'll always have that memory when we see that wrinkled "ploma" That is totally Luke! Silly Boy. Here's some cute pics of the event. (even one of him with his "honey" naomi.)

May Family Project - Build a Birdhouse

Wow - it's really been FOREVER since we posted last.. so here's bunch of new stuff! Here's some pics of the boys building a birdhouse with Papa. Michael's family project for May was to build a birdhouse so we decided to get Grandpa in on the project. Michael wanted to build a huge 3 room sparrow birdhouse - which we ended up painting green. We've really had a lot of fun with the Kindergarten family projects. A great way to involve the whole family in school!
