Veteran's Day

What do you do if its too rainy outside to have a parade?  You bring the parade indoors.

 These are homemade smoothie popsicles for some very cute kids.

FHE in Ocean Shores

We decided to make a quick trip to Ocean Shores to play at a new park we had found on a previous adventure.  It was some good quality family time.

Tom's favorite thing to do is swing

Catherine our monkey girl

Catherine's Dance Recital

Catherine loves dance.  She was a beautiful bird in this performance.

Mother's Day Necklace

Jon got this necklace for me for Mother's Day.  I love it. The boys are on the outside with the birthstones for Tom and Mark.  Catherine is in the middle with her birthstone.

Lake Sylvia

One Friday after school it was so nice we decided to go play at the lake.  There were some other kids there with an inner tube and skin thick enough to go into the cold water.  One girl pushed Catherine around in the tube while Tom played in the dirt.  Both of them had lots of fun.  The water was still to cold to really play in.

Dance Recital is coming soon

T-ball and Playing at the Park

Two Saturdays ago we had some beautiful weather.  It was so nice and warm that the kids decided they wanted to go a little early to Catherine's game so they could play on the toys.  Catherine has gotten sooooo good at the monkey bars.  At tball, Catherine tries hard to do whatever the coach tells her to do.
