Let's Swim!

Summer weather is starting to come. The kids are loving summer type activities.

The boys enjoyed their first swim. It took Eric a bit longer to really start playing in the water, but once he did they had fun together.

Emily's Wedding Trip

Emily was married on May 9, 2009. It was a beautiful occasion and it was wonderful to see all the family. Here are a few pictures of our adventures.

Rain, Rain Come Again Another Day

One evening Kyle was using the hose to water in some fertilizer stakes. The boys wanted to have fun too, so Kyle started having it 'rain' on them. At first it was just a drop here and there, but pretty soon they were very wet, and having a grand time. I only got a bit on video, however; it does give you a good idea of the joy kids and parents can get out of little things.

The Sandbox

We had a few days of nice weather. The boys loved playing in the sandbox. Most of the time they played well together. Every once in a while sand ended up on heads, in mouths, or other places it should not be. It is fun to have the boys at a stage that they will play together. Eric loves to tell us to "come on" directing us how and where to play. Zachary also likes to tell us what toys are available for us and which ones he claims at the moment. I'm very good at telling the boys I am tired and to play nice. What a happy family!
