Zoo Field Trip

Loved spending the day with Luke!!

He FINALLY got to go to the ZOO YAY!!!!

Luke's Big 6

Luke, we can't begin to tell you all the ways you make our life so happy!!

You are hillarious, smart, easy going, and sweeter than pie!

We are so glad you are ours!!

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY Luke!!

WE LOVE YOU!!!

Toothless Luke

Luke was pretty terrified about that little loose tooth.  He couldnt eat and thought his world of food might be coming to an end.  He plead for more TV time to help ease the pain.  And with negotiations in place, he let me pull it out (and boy did i love that!).

Friends Over

 My kids are so lucky to have the nicest friends!! 

(missed those Vallery girls on vacation!)

I honestly love all of them and am so glad when they get to come and hang out and bake cookies...

 or play video games...

or play more video games after they have taken out every single game in order to decide which one they want to play.  

Nothing better than having friends over!

2 Wheelin!

He finally gave the training wheels the boot and is flying by with two wheels these days...now we just need to get him a bigger bike!

WE LOVE YOU BIG LUKE!

Ms. Gade's Gingerbread Hunt

 Luke's class had a gingerbread man runaway from them so I was lucky enough to be invited to tag along as the kids searched for him.  First stop....the gym teacher.  No luck.

 We stopped at the nurse's office but no luck there either.  

Then we met up with Principal Wong.  

 She had a serious clue for us that led us straight to...

 The classroom where the gingerbread man had left cookies and punch for everyone!

Loved this afternoon with you Luke!!!

Tomlachoff Farm

So excited that I got to go with Luke and Jackson on their field trip!  

Cute Elle was there too!

LOVE their teacher Ms. Gade!

It was the perfect day for these big Kinders.  

Love you LUKE!!!

Summer Checklist Here We GO

 Of course I started out this summer with ideas of all the fantastic things I would do with my kids. 

(hanging out and being lazy was chief among them and we have done that to perfection so far!)

We've done a bunch of other stuff and I have not been very good at taking pics, so this week I'm getting in gear and fixing that, so....

We've been dong a little math everyday to keep the skills sharp.

(And yes it's always smiles during math time HA!)

 Then we knocked out one of the things I've been wanting to do with Bree...sewing.  

She made a pillow for our missionary cousin, Kyle, and she did awesome.

 We're keeping piano going strong.  

Jake proclaimed that I never take his picture.  

He then ducked for cover when I tried. 

 And of course Luke could not let a sewing day go by with out giving it a whirl.

He LOVED it.  

The tools, the buzz of the machine, watching the material fly by and the needle go up and down... 

 What's not to love???

SUMMER IS FLYING BY!!!
