A very wicked evening

Here's a nice belly shot of me in the dress I wore to Wicked--only six more weeks! Yesterday after doing my cycling class, taking the kids swimming, cleaning up after Taylor's party the day before, we went with my in-laws to a Turkish restaurant then on to see the show Wicked downtown. Ben came and watched the kids--Thanks!! It was a fun evening and the show was very entertaining; we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Last Weekend--Cooking dinner over the fire

Camping with Grandpa

The boys caught fish and cleaned them, then we got to cook them over the fire--tasty. We also had banana boats, hot dogs, and, of course, s'mores. They set up tents and camped by the pond. I even slept out in a tent for most of the night. 7 months pregnant and sleeping on the ground do not mix; I just thought the camp pad was lumpy. In the morning, my DH noticed that it needed to be inflated,oops!

Last Day of School

Taylor's school on the last day had a mini carnival with games, food, and a jumpolene. He's now a second grader and Devin will start preschool in the fall. In this picture you wouldn't know they can't stop wrestling and rough housing.

A day at the zoo

We took the kids to the zoo. Here's ashton and me in the shark petting exhibit. We saw the komodo dragons, elephants, snakes, seals, giraffes, zebras, etc.

The Lamb Cousins Visit

The Lambs visited for Memorial Day from Missouri. The kids were happy to see them since it had been years. In this picture is L-R Archer, Taylor, Ava, Devin, and Sarah.

Little Poser

The rest of the picture I couldn't add, but Ashton is stark naked and had so much fun with my sun hat.

Our baby birds

Our little blue eggs hatched and now we have resident birds in our tree out front.

Tiny Tikes' Soccer

Devin just finished up his tiny tikes' season where a parent received a matching shirt and was out on the field with him. He loved it, but if you told him to go get the ball he'd shove the person with the ball out of the way--even his own teammates--and take it for himself. He listens a little too well.

Donut eating contest

Taylor's Party

So every other year the kids get a birthday party. Of course, I'm always large with child and it never seems convenient. This year was no different for Taylor's party(birthday is actually sunday). He had a few friends and had it in the backyard. It turned out great and dad's scavenger hunt and donut eating contest was a hit.
