Memorial Day

For Memorial Day, we decided to invite some friends and family over for a BBQ. Everyone brought something to share, and we grilled ribs and hot dogs. It was great food and great company. It was a wonderful way to spend the day, and the kids had a blast!


One of our friends brought their Slip n Slide for the kiddos to play on, and of course, Daddy had to get in on that action. ;-) The kids loved having him out there playing with them and tossing them down the slide.



Here are some of the kids trying to push Daddy down the Slip n Slide. 


One couldn't do it...maybe two of them can?



Nope, how about three or four?



Nope...He's just too big for those kids to get him to move!








Filling up water balloons--hours of prep, for minutes of fun





This boy is a HOOT! He would kink the hose and then let it loose when Daddy would aim the sprayer at his face. He LOVED it! So fun!!!







She has teeth!



Love these pics of Ali trying to get the balloons from Daddy!





It's hard to see in the small version of this pic, but I managed to take it right as the water balloon broke on Skinja's back.




Love incognito shots

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
