Swimming

Yep, the boys have already been swimming in their pool.  I think it's WAY too cold, but not them!  Denny even got in with them last night.  This is going to be a fun summer!

Aaron's Room

Denny made a desk for Aaron, so that meant moving things around.  I asked if he wanted new bedding, or repaint the walls, but he wanted everything to stay the same. :)  Here is how his room looks now.

My handsome hubby!

The boys took these pictures before Ryan's school program.  I think we make a cute couple!

Ryan with his principal at his "graduation" from kindergarten.  We're going to miss William Gay and all of the staff!

School Carnivals

Here are a few pics from the end of year carnivals at school.

 Clark loved the music they had playing!  He loves to move and shake!

 Avery & Ryan playing Twister.

Aaron & Denny about to race down the hallway.

William did the face painting, so Avery wanted her daddy to paint my face.  This was a perfect opportunity for him, but he was nice and gave me a heart to match Avery's. :)

Avery painted a smiley face for me!  We got a little in my hair, but it was no biggie!

Aaron won a scooter at his school carnival for being the 4th top seller of raffle tickets.  (thanks to his Daddy)  It worked out great, because he'd been saving his money for a scooter!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Yesterday we celebrated Mom's birthday.  I'm not sure what happened, but I realized later I didn't take many pictures.  Mom got to eat her Chinese, and even Dad ate a little of it!

Below is a picture of the card Avery made for her. It was super cute! (and so is she!)

She deserves so much more than a dinner for her birthday. Maybe someday we'll win the lottery that I never play, and we'll be able to do more.  You know, like take her to Chinese twice a year, instead of just once. :)  In all seriousness, I do hope I can be as good a mother as she is!  Oh, and the boys think she's a pretty fun Grandma, too!

We hope you had a great birthday, Mom!

First camping trip of the year!

Here are a few pictures from camping this weekend.  We love going to Belle Starr!

 Avery jumping in the leaves.

 Avery kept score while we played a game of washers.

Ryan and I roasting marshmallows.  Yum!

Getting ready for the pool!

Denny has been working hard to get the yard ready for our pool.

 The boys, and their friend Jacob, have all helped with digging, and hauling off the dirt.

 Their favorite part was when the sand was delivered!
