Summer fun, so far

More water fun for my kids. They love it!! Our neighbors wanted the kids to play in the sprinklers and of course I took pictures of them doing so. I love my camera, these are from my deck, and I can zoom in nicely to get decent pictures.

It is a fun sprinkler!

All of them were squealing. It was great!

Jake trying to get a drink? LOL!

I love there smiles!

I really like Alyssah in this one!! So great!

This one would have been perfect had she been looking! But it is still cute!

Swimming

My kids LOVE swimming. They love to go in the evenings and hopefully meet there friends there. I love watching how good they swim too.

Jake and his squirting toy. I don't like them, but that is what he picked out.

Josh jumping in the pool

Jake jumping in

My little princess, she loves her two swimming suits, they both have dresses too!

Zoo

Nicole and I took the kids to the zoo in June. We only had about a half an hour to go through it quickly. But we promised the kids. So we went through the zoo very fast. But it was fun, and worth seeing the kids happy.

Some of the first things we saw, baby ducks!

And this awesome pelican. It was just looking at us, and didn't move. It was really cool!

Of course we had to get our pics of the kids in the Roosevelt Zoo turtle.

I love this picture.

Hey, what is Jake doing?? HAHA! I love this monkey!

This lion was hungry. I am sooo glad there was a fence between us, he is one big guy!

The giraffe was really friendly

And the zebras always look awesome too.

I am glad I got my picture with the kids and I. I am hardly ever in pictures, so it is nice to get some with me and the kids.

Nicole, Berkley and Skyla. Very, very nice picture.

First boating of the year

We didn't get out into the boat until about the middle of June. (yes, I am behind in posts!!) We had just a nice boat ride, no major fishing done, but it was still fun. The kids are always asking to go fishing, and for boat rides. They are really fun! And this is the first year that I don't have someone on my lap or close to me either. They are all big enough to be on there own. I am happy and sad about that.

I love how happy the boat makes them!!

How can you not smile at her smile! :)

She thought she was big stuff to drive the boat! Even thought it was only 2 mph. She didn't care how fast we were going, she was happy to be driving it!! :)

Bikes

Riding bikes is always fun for my kids! They LOVE it. I am glad, I used to love to ride my bike as well when I was little, so it is good to see the kids like to ride there bikes.

Alyssah, in true princess fashion.

She is a beauty!

My boys off to a friends house

Jake's Love

Jake loves Lucy.

So much!

Ungrilla

This is what Alyssah calls a Gorilla. Ungrilla. It is cute and I didn't want to forget it. Plus you can see Alyssah's sence of fashion again.

This picture cracks me up!!

Kenzie and Alyssah are really into trading stuffed animals lately, and this is one that they traded. It is neat that they like to do this, plus it is like getting a new toy daily!

Pail Head

These pictures say everything!

I love them!

She is always a poser!

Alyssah's Dance Picture

I love her dance picture! She is really photogenic, and she LOVES to pose for pictures too!

Their costumes were soooo cute this year!!

Alyssah and her little dance mates! They were sooooooo cute!! I can't wait for dance this fall. It will be so fun!

Plant is dying

Jake planted his plant in sunday school. He is pretty proud of it, and one day he wrote us a note to let us know, that he thought his plant was dying.

Only he didn't spell dying. At least not correctly.

I LOVE IT!

We are having fun!

We are having so much fun on our trip! I LOVE the scenery! I could live here for sure!! I can't wait to upload the pictures Mark and I have had so much fun taking. We even gave the boys there own camera and they LOVE taking pictures too! It is awesome to see them start to love a hobby. And the princess is loving sitting by the window rolling it down when we stop to see something. She has been great too! We got to see Old Faithful yeseterday, and it was so awesome to see! I can't believe how the earth can work this way. We are going to see the northern part of Yellowstone today. Mammoth Springs and more veiws of the Yellowstone Canyon too. And just the mountains. I love it here!
