Brother, Zack

Today we had an awesome visit with Adrian's big brother, Zack and family! They came out for a pizza party and an afternoon playdate at our house. We painted, played board games, DS games, and the Wii Fit since it was rainy outdoors! We are looking forward to another great visit again soon! As you can see Zack is just an older looking version of Adrian.... and they get along GREAT too! :)

Music Campers

This week gave our youngest two children a musical adventure that they will never forget. Storytime through music and books, balloons, musical scarves, beanbags, kazoos, instruments, etc. are just some of the activities that Vicki had planned for their hour long session at the school Monday thru Friday! You can see how proud they both were displaying their certificates and kazoos on the last day of camp! YEAH!

House Guests

Wednesday we discovered that our home became home to a Mama Duck and her 10 baby ducks. After removing them from the egress window well and freeing them in the front yard, the babies returned back to their original nests in the backyard window wells. We fed them, gave them water, and freed them again to follow their Mama, but they felt right at home with us, so they spent a couple days with us before finally leaving for a much bigger adventure. It's a good thing too, because our Mommy is definitely NOT a farm girl! The angels visited during the night to carry a couple baby ducks up to heaven, who didn't survive the cool night outdoors without their Mama. :( Great life lesson and learning opportunity for both Mommy and the kids!

1 lonely duck trying to join the rest

The first release in the front yard, only to find that they found there way back to the backyard in just moments after being let free!

Parks and Rec

Today was Picture Day for Parks and Rec T-Ball and Baseball. Hopefully this week brings with it more sunshine and less rain so we can get back out there on the field! One whole week of cancelled practices and games = 3 not very happy kiddos!

Safety Town

Here I am with my Safety Town teacher, Mrs. Baumgarten. She had lots of fun lessons planned to teach us all about Safety, but my favorite one was Bike Safety, and going for a ride on the School Bus!

Here I am at my Safety Town graduation where I am demonstrating our newest motto that we learned for crossing the street, and the railroad tracks! Stop! Look! Listen! and LIVE!

Today was my lucky day! Mrs. Baumgarten drew my name out as a winner of one of the six bikes they gave away! Thanks Mrs. Baumgarten! I LOVE IT!

(I can even ride it by myself already too! )

What a great couple days at BIG school learning about safety, and spending time with my good friends too. I can't wait til August when I can to to Kindergarten ALL DAY/ EVERY DAY! Until then, I will just enjoy summer and practice being safe by using the skills I learned this week at Safety Town! It is a good thing that learning is so much fun!

Love, Jayden

Surprise!

Megan surprised Kierra with a new look for her room since big brothers and big sister recently had their rooms painted/redone. She loved it... which you can tell by her perma-smile!
Thanks again Megan! You should really start a business designing kids' rooms! We are ever so thankful for ALL that you do for us! You are the BEST! Love ya!

Birthday Boy
