Summertime fun.

It was so muggy last week we decided to get the pool out one evening.

Laughing while her brother spashes.

Kisses from Jack.

Kayla has discovered the valves on anything that blows up, so I spend most of the evening trying to keep her from deflating her pool....

...then Jack decides to help her deflate the pool...

I was home by myself so I had to get the kids inside one at time.

Kayla got tired of waiting and decided to entertain herself...

Crazy Kids

One night last week we took a trip to the park. Jack went in the bike trailor while daddy rode, and Kayla and mommy spent some time at the park...

Electric baby...

Kayla being a cheese....

This is Kayla showing her true colors. She is such a fun little girl but she also has some spunk to her. There were some teenagers at the park being rowdy and Kayla let them have a piece of her mind. I am not sure it is appropriate to repeat whatever it is she said to them! :)

Jack had babysitter last Monday night and on Tuesday he insisted on wearing his swim hat and Mr. Potato head's glasses all morning. Goofy boy!

Kayla has finally deciding it is more fun to walk than crawl. She spent all last week with her buddy practicing her walking skills.

This picture just makes me laugh.

VBS...

This year I was the VBS director for our church. We really had a great week and I think the kids had a great time as well. We used the Answers in Genesis program called Amazon Expedition...which I highly recommend! It was a great biblical based program that gave the children practical applications they can use at school or in discussions with friends. It also meant that my children were at the church for 7 days in a row last week. The first thing out Jack's mouth this morning was if we could go to church and see his friends!

Here is a shot of our Sanctuary. Those are 10 foot palm trees made out of carpet rolls!

This was Jack's first time singing in front of the church. All the kids did a great job!

It's not VBS without craft time!

This came off of one of Jack's crafts. He is still carrying around his "bwower" ... as he calls it... this week.

Picture Catch Up

We have had a very busy past few weeks. Over Memorial Day Brian's parents came to visit us and both of our families went on a picnic. Unfortunately most of our pictures were of the kids and not so much adults! Jack seems to be maturing every day. He is speaking in paragraphs now and is quite good at telling us what he wants....and what he doesn't! Kayla continues to be the mischievous one! When she enters a room she quickly climbs to the highest point. And she takes pleasure in picking on her older, and much larger, brother. She still spends most of her time crawling but today I looked up and she was walking all the way across the living room. Of course she wouldn't do it again once I caught her.
