Camping Part I

We went camping with Ben's family over the weekend.
It was really fun when we were out of the sun.

Good morning!

Breakfast

Where's Gabe? fishing from the dock.

Going fishing!

Smores at night and once in the morning too.

Funny Pictures

bumbo head

Gabe is figuring out how to ride a big bike.

How am I suppose to put him to sleep with a happy face like this.

Clark 5 months

He's always been our big boy, but now he's getting older too.

He loves jumping up and down in this thing.

He's around 18 lbs now. Had has first hair cut last month. Loves to eat rice cereal. Wants to mouth everything. He likes to eat paper (like shopping lists). Loves things that crinkle.

Where's his mother?

Far Away because he was at a Fathers and Sons camp-out. . .

A friend sent me these pictures. They are hilarious and proof that all children need a mother.

Snot, Cheetos face, and Hatchet (At least it has the cover on)

To Ben' s defense Gabe was under the supervision of a friend when those pictures were taken. Our friend said he almost vomited when he had to wipe Gabe's nose.

Ben was in the boat helping the older kids fish.

Mud

This is Luke's interpretation of our family as Droids. It made me laugh.

Memorial Day

Our Walk to Remember

We happen to live about a 1/4 of a mile from the cemetery where my grandparents are buried, so we took a family walk over to visit.

My sister was in town this weekend for our cousin's wedding. We had a great time together. We are really close. I love her so much.

Oh how we appreciate those who have and are serving our country. Especially my Grandpa awarded a purple heart in WWII, Ben's brother Dan-Air Force, Luke's birthdad-Marine, & Our neighbor, who just returned from a 9 month deployment. I have also felt extra sympathy for those experiencing the great loss of a loved one (Aunt Laura, Carolina, Jim Chu are greatly missed).

Luke's Preschool Graduation

One of his best friends from preschool. Both class clowns.

ABC song in sign language.

Gabe's smoothie smile.

(frozen berries, yogurt, and juice or milk-blend-delicious!)

Gabe's new interest. Blowing us away with his computer skills.

Clark's new Highchair that I scored at a garage sale last weekend.

Thanks for a wonderful Mother's Day!

The boys sure know how to treat a mommy!
Breakfast, kids ready for church, presents from Ben and the kids,

a picture with my sons, and dinner with clean-up.

Clark

Started Rice cereal

and Hit 17 lbs.

Discovered his feet

By the look on his face, you can tell he doesn't wear shoes often.

Gabe

I love Speghetti!

And cookies

Luke

The Biggest one

Clark eating cereal. Luke being funny.
