BMX Track

I have been so excited to take Josh to the BMX track and we finally got to go! At first he wanted me right there to help him at the gate then after a few times around he didn't want my help at all. Josh was so serious, focused and quite (notice in the 2nd picture) so I kept asking him how he liked it and what he thought. I had to laugh, when the guy next to him (actually it was a dad riding with his son) had to tell me "he's just taking it all in". I was like DUH why didn't I think of that. So then I just shut up after that. He is a boy for one thing and so much like his dad I should of known. I was just too excited and wanted to know everything he was thinking/feeling. Josh had so much fun he keeps asking me when we can go back. I can't wait for Wayne to go with us and ride the track with Josh. I just don't know when that will happen being that practice and race days are at the same time he works :(

Observatory

When Josh grows up he wants to be a spaceman.  So, I thought it would be fun to take him to the observatory. I wasn't sure if Jade and Ben were still a little young for it but I thought lets try anyway. Well, to my surprise we all enjoyed it. Ben loves balls and I think he thought, wow look at all these big balls. Josh's favorite part was looking through the telescope on the roof and playing with his Lighting McQueen car on all the handrails and whatever else. Josh would also like to add that all the blue on the earth is water. We also went with a friend and Josh said he had a lot of fun with him too.

Nature Walk

 I wrapped duct tape sticky side up around the kids wrist and took them for a walk to find stuff to stick to it.  Then we stopped by a blackberry patch ate a few blackberries and walked back home finding more stuff to stick to our bracelets. Oh, and Ben blow his first dandelion.... or should I say he ate it.
off we go....

Dance, Dance, Dance

Jade and her cousin at their first day of dance. They both have been looking so forward to this day. It's so fun for them to have each other. They are only 24 hours apart in age and totally love each other so much. They go to church together, dance together and now they will be starting pre-school together. 

Kealia and Jade best cousins forever!

How Does Your Garden Grow??

With corn, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers, green beans, watermelons and pumpkins too. And all thanks to my husband! It's been so fun for the kids to watch our food grow and then to pick it and eat it. Yummy, yummy!!

Mom and Dad house

Our trip to Utah for Mom and Dad's surprise birthday!

Josh with his cousins Tyler and Braydon
It feels like my parents yard goes on forever. They are on a spot of the golf course where the golfers really don't pass by and you feel like the whole golf course is their back yard. It's so beautiful and relaxing!

My wonderful sister in law!

Happy Birthday and Happy 45th Anniversary
