Water Guns and Bike Rides

We went on a little bike ride.

I think it is time to get Gordon a little bigger bike. He was having a hard time keeping up.

Then we played at the park.

Testing out the water guns... on the house.

It was Jamin's last week of soccer. He had a soccer tournament this week, so he had 5 games. After a home game, they had a huge water fight. Hubby and Gordon got in on the action too.

Gordon got really super crazy wet.

There's Jamin. =)

Neil making faces at "Maurice" the stone guy thing. lol

More water fightage. We had a couple hours between soccer games on Saturday, so I let the boys swim for a short time since it was pretty warm.

Look, there's me! And cute boy Neil.

Dress of the Week

175% cuter when her buddy wears the same outfit. =)

Daddy, Ants!!!, Cleaning, Park, and Another Dress of the Week =)

What a good Daddy! Giving the kiddos a ride in the Jeep. Happy Father's Day!

Ants!!! We started getting some ants in our mud/ exercise room. I put out a couple of ant hotels, and it just wasn't cutting it. This week, I discovered the source....

A huge anthill behind our house. So I went to the hardware store and bought three different kinds of ant hotels and some spray. I can't seem to get rid of the buggers. They are horrible. If anyone has any special secret to getting rid of ants, I would like to know it.

I went on a bit of a cleaning spree this week. I think the ant issue brought it on. I cleaned and organized the house. Then I moved to the garage and swept and reorganized some things. Then I cleaned out and vacuumed the van. Neil and Tegan were my assistants. They played, I cleaned. =)

Aren't they cute? Neil's favorite thing recently is Mickey Mouse(note the shirt). He is missing Disney World and totally wants to go visit a certain Aunt and Uncle who live by Disneyland. Hopefully not in the too far distant future.

We've have had a few nice days this week. We were able to play at some parks quite a bit this week.

Weeeee...

Monkeys!! They make me nervous. At least in the winter time when they climb this tree, there is snow to cushion the fall and they are wearing more clothing.

Dress of the Week

Dresses, friends, weather, and happiness

Dress of the Week

friends

We went to the Kids Festival at the Forks with some friends. Jamin had school, so he missed out. Poor guy. But summer is coming soon, so he can come on adventures with us then. That's where we got the matching dresses.

I just thought this was funny. Neil was getting ready to go outside. I think Neil is confused about the season. Hey, I'm confused too.

Update on my broken foot - This week I got a removable cast. Hurray!! Now I can shower without bagging my foot and even sleep without the crazy thing on. Makes life sooo much happier. =)

I went to a women's conference at church this weekend. One of the workshops was about happiness. How we choose to be happy and what really makes us happy. On the way there I was talking to my mother-in-law about gas prices about how they skyrocket and then come down a little bit. We start to feel better about filling up with gas when they come down a little bit even though it is still way higher than a year ago. It's kind of like that with my foot. It was a huge change at first and slowly as I heal, I went from not being able to put any weight on it to having one crutch and a walking cast to being able to not use crutches at all. Now I have a removable boot. Each step makes life easier for me and makes me appreciate things all the more. So I think we need challenges in our life to be happy. Without them, it is difficult to recognize all the blessings that we have.

A Beautiful Day. =)

Dress of the Week

Not so happy before Big Brother came to save the day.

Today was a beautiful day, so we did not waste it. Since lunch we were out most of the day.

This is how Princess T goes down the slide. She will go down any slide but always on her tummy.

Neebs went swimming. Well, he mainly just sat on the stairs and blew bubbles in the water, but close enough.

Princess T scares me to death on the trampoline, but she LOVES it.

We got our garden planted over the weekend. We have lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, banana peppers, broccoli, yellow and red onions, celery and zucchini.

Gordon is a tree climber.

Sooo cute. =)

Even cuter.

Soccer is a huge part of our lives right now. Soccer season doesn't last very long here, but with three kids in soccer this year, it's pretty intense.
