June

Well we have had a great couple of weeks. The pool is now open and we have been a few times. Olivia and Ellie love the water. Ellie already thinks that she can swim which is a little scary!! I need to get them in swimming lessons soon. The weather has been pretty hot~94 degrees on average. AND! I have already picked 2 zucchini, one carrot, one onion, lots of radishes and peas (they're gone now) and a few beans. the bugs keep on getting my bean plants and I keep on forgetting to buy some type of organic bug repellant. oh well. guess we'll just get those at the store!

Ellie is really into singing the "Itsy Bitsy Spider". She's so cute!! Olivia is her sweet, crazy self and will sing anything!

We had a lot of fun hiking around a 1.5 mile trail. Olivia, Emyrie and Ellie were singing like Gisele on Enchanted calling all the mice to help them clean. They were adorable.

Jaron's parents came out to help up replace our windows which was REALLY nice!! Susan brought along Lexie and Aricca with their kids so we could play while the men worked!! We did a little shopping with all the kids which was not fun, went to a petting zoo, went for walks, and ate out a lot.

We're eagerly awaiting the next visit! I guess it's our turn now. Hopefully we'll be home the first 2 weeks of July. We shall see....

Susan, Emyrie and Olivia feeding the geese














We have a pond across the street from our house. Olivia and Emyrie loved to feed the geese. I love this picture of Lexie and Darby!! She sure liked to be packed around.

Burnside Visit

Future Artistes..... We went to a Children's Art Festival called Panoply. We only planned on staying for an hour and we stayed for around 5-6 hours. It was so much fun. The kids got in free and had many free crafts and activities and face painting.

Okay, I know the Burnsides visited in April but I feel like the two pictures I posted didn't due our fun week together justice. So here it goes....

Aricca, Darby and Sophie show off their face paint. Okay so Sophie is hiding hers! Oh well!
