Pillow Pets

Pillow Pets are all the craze at our house. Laura Ann got a new one today (thanks Big Daddy) & decided she would draw portraits of them. They are REALLY good! She's my little artist for sure! :-)

Kicking Off VBS!!

Daniel, Laura Ann & I kicked off VBS this morning! Looking forward to a fun filled week!!

Daniel's Family Party

The celebration continued today with our family. We had a cookout for lunch & enjoyed the absolutely beautiful weather......high 70s in June!! Daniel lived it up again being the center of attention. Birthdays are the best!

Water Wars

Daniel decided way back in January that he wanted to have a Water Wars birthday party with our waterslide & waterguns and he actually stuck with it! I was worried about the waterslide falling over with too many rowdy boys, but thanks to Payton (our extra chaperone), the waterslide made it just fine through the party. It turns out, that Daniel's party idea was the best one EVER!! The party started at 5:00 and ended up lasting until 9:00pm and mamas were dragging boys to their cars then. Those boys played and played and played and played!! They ran wild all over the yard playing football, hide n' seek, basketball, with the waterguns, and whatever else they could come up with. The water balloon fight was definitely a highlight. Those rowdy boys could've thrown balloons at each other all night, but unfortunately, Dan & I only managed to make 140 of them & they didn't last that long!! :-) And they did stop a few times to eat. Daniel had an absolute blast. I can't believe my baby boy is turning EIGHT!!

Who Needs a Maid?

Not me!!! These two cleaned almost the entire downstairs floor with spray bottles & towels. They even raced to see who could cover the most territory. The best part is that they came up with this all on their own......I didn't even ASK them to do it! I'm sure it will never happen again, but I'll take my clean floors for today!! :-)
