Swimming Lessons







Someone finally signs up the boys for swimming lessons now that one of them is 9. They are so lucky that they got 2 weeks of swimming lessons. Now they think we should go swim every day. I think we'll just stick to the blow up pool for now...

Happy Birthday Cole!




An eventful day for someone who is officialy 9! What more could a kid ask for? First... a BRAND NEW BIKE! Next, a nice day at Seven Peaks Waterpark, and at the end of this exciting day, we'll wrap it all up with some pizza and lemon lime cake! Kid Paradise...

Art City Days 2010

It all began with the firetruck parade. All the fire trucks and ambulances came to show their stuff! We were so proud of Kyle in the biggest one there!
Next in line was the carnival. Sid was fearless, pulling Emily to come along with her.
(NOTICE: Sid's macaroni necklace. She was babysitting that day)
Motocross. Kinda
Last but not least, the Children's Art Fair. Air brush tats were the bomb. Rett just couldn't put down his glue glob. (glue with food coloring in it. See background.)

Darling Baby Quail




The other day, Dale and the kids found a baby quail in our backyard with no mom! So the picked him up, cared for it, (for the food-this is messy-we had to grind up bird seed and make it like a milkshake, and feed it to the bird through a syringe) while the mama bird just sat and watched us. We tried to get the mom to come, but not much luck there. Finally Before it got dark, we had to set him free (by his ma) and hope for the best. It was a sad departure, but he will always be in our memories. (And pictures :D



Did I mention he was only 1 day old?
