A little bit of everything

We've been a little busy lately with all the end of school projects & programs plus soccer, piano, and everything else in between so I needed to unload my camera of a bunch of random pictures from the past week.

I can't resist bathtub pictures for some reason and two babies in the bath is even more fun!

The babies begging the kids for bites of ice cream!
Saturday we went to the greenbelt to feed the ducks. The kids still love to do this year after year and I don't mind it myself.



Thanks to mother nature, we spent the better part of Saturday outside in the yard playing with the kids enjoying the gorgeous sunshine (and no wind). DJ and Regan spent Friday night and Saturday morning participating in the community wide clean up project. Regan worked her tail end off helping DJ clean up yards, cutting down trees, etc. They went to one house where they picked up 3 huge bags of beer cans. The guy told Regan she could take them down to the recycling place to cash them in. She ended up making almost $16.00 so she was pretty excited. Anyway, I think Regan enjoyed being with her dad even if it involved hard work. When they got home we hung out in the back yard and played with the kids. Kamryn was happily cruising everywhere, even the prickly grass didn't seem to stop her. Porter, on the other hand, wasn't quite sure what to do. He spent most of the time cuddling up with his blanky. It makes me laugh because when we're inside, Porter is the one getting in to all the cupboards and making mischief while Kamryn is just happy to walk around and occasionally play with a toy. The kids LOVE that Kamryn can walk so now they think she's capable of doing just about anything. They love to take her for walks around the house and yard and Morgan just knew she'd love a ride on the slide!


Yesterday was "Rocket Day" at Fairview school. The 4th, 5th, & 6th graders get to build and paint their own rockets and then they shoot invite the parents to come and watch them shoot them off. Regan's turned out really cute and girly---purple with yellow speckles all over.

I loved your "a little bit of everything!" You have such a wonderful family ethic--a wonderful balance between hard work and fun! I was just reading Pres. Uchdorf's priesthood meeting talk where he discusses balance in our lives and your family is a very good example of that.

I just love seeing how happy Kami is now that she can walk and it did seem she grew up over night upon learning! I don't think Porter will be far behind. I'm sure he is noticing that she is having way too much fun!!!! haha
