Marshall's Scout camp

Marshall had his first Scout Day Camp this summer and had a blast! He and his buddies were Pirates this year. They had so much fun shooting BB guns and bows and arrows. They swam, did crafts, obstacle courses, and all sorts of fun pirate themed activities. He learned a lot and it was fun as a mom to watch him push himself and learn to do things he didn't know he could do. He even got the top swimmer ranking which he didn't think he was going to get. There were things that were required that he had never done before, but he tried it and was able to do it! It wasn't easy either. Can you tell I'm a proud mom? It was a highlight of my life watching him the day I was able to go. What an amazing boy! Handsome too!

Fun in the sun!

The kids always have a blast when you mix a hot day with water balloons and a hose!

Get your motor runnin'!!!!

Marshall learned to ride a four wheeler all by himself! He loved it! Mom hated it! Dad was so proud! Brother thought it was awesome!

A Dream is a wish your heart makes.......

Of course Jenna would not rest until we met every princess in the world! And Tinkerbell! Not technically a princess, but just as important on a young girls checklist of must see's. Now "princess" is one of Sadie's favorite words. For a long time too, "Rella" for Cinderella was the name of every princess in Sadie's book. Sadie and Jenna love to dress up together and believe with all their hearts that they are princesses too! As they should....because in our book they are!

M-I-C-K-E-Y---M-O-U-S-E!!!

We had so much fun at Disneyland! Meeting Mickey was a huge highlight of the trip! The kiddos were so excited!

Happy Birthday Dad and Grandpa we miss you!

On Dads birthday this year, we decided to honor him with blue balloons filled with messages of love. We all went outside and let them go up to heaven. The kids loved this and it was very theraputic for us adults. We also had German chocolate cake.
We all love and miss you very much dad and grandpa!
