Swimming Fun

We have great swim passes to the rec center up at the University. The kids love to swim. This is the whirlpool or the toliet bowl. :) The love to go around and around.

I really like to take pictures under water. It is great! I don't know how they keep their eyes open though.

Under the waterfall.

I think they are trapped!

Carson's Birthday!

Carson had a great birthday week, minus the part that he came down with pneumonia and we had to cancel his birthday party on Saturday :( He took it very well and we promised to reschedule a time for something special with his friends.) Happy 10th birthday Carson! We love you.

Because of the cancellation he was able to blow out candles twice!

He got some Lego's which always make him happy!

He was so happy with this new remote controlled car that is super crazy off road and loves it!

Part of the tradition at our house is that the birthday person gets to pick what we eat the entire day. Carson wanted strawberry crepes for his birthday breakfast, and he really loved it.

This video is Carson blowing out his candles on what he wanted for desert on his actual birthday. PUMPKIN PIE! Yum!

New York Trip and such..

Spring has sprung into summer, and we are having a blast! These kids love going and doing. When they are not climbing trees, or hiking around. They are swimming in the rivers, and playing with crawdads(crayfish). They love it!

Over memorial day, we went up to see the cousins up north in New York. We had a lovely time with our walk in The Sacred Grove, and the kids LOVED spending time with their cousins.

Kenzlee could not figure out why no one was letting her in?!

Hmmm Rootbeer floats!

Preschool Graduation

Kale graduated from Preschool on Friday! My camera was not working great, so my pictures are not great. All the kids were so cute, and I had so much fun watching the program. I can't believe my baby is getting so big! He will be in Kindergarten in the Fall, and he is so ready and excited. We love our Kale!

Mormon Messages: What Matters Most

Priesthood Camp Out

The boys went on their annual Priesthood Commemoration camp out. They love going, and look forward to it every year. I think W.Virginia has some of the prettiest places I have seen. It is worth the trip! (Hint Hint) They had a great time! The original campground they were planning to go to was closed, due to flooding and washed out roads, but they found a great backup place.

Yes, there was a cemetery on the property, but they did not seem to mind. :)
