Monopoly

Hannah came home from a play date begging for the game Monoply. Now she and Kate love playing and Rachel Lee, who wants to play every game with us, is trying to play along. This is how a 3 year old plays Monoply...

Ladybug, ladybug fly away home

Today we released the ladybugs that we watch change. Fun times!

Our house

PThere are things about our house that we have changed, and things about the house that we want to change. But one thing I love that I hope never changes is the view from our deck. I love our outdoor space and just relaxing and appreciating the beauty.

40th anniversary party

My parents are the best! And this year to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary Jenna and I planned a surprise party for them. 

Rachel was not able to come but she skyped in with Joe and Kara and it was super fun! We had 27 people come and mom and dad felt very special! 

Cake time!!

And time for our list of 40 thing we've learned from mom and dad as we'll as a DVD photo slide show and games!

By the end of the night everyone had a fun time and enjoyed good food. Can't wait to see what blessings lay ahead in the next 40 years!

And man am I beat!

Tired babes

We have been busy. Crazy busy in fact! The girls have been also doing a ton of stuff at school that usually involves sugar at the end. Put the two together and you have a recipe for a disaster!

Today I was putside trimming the bushes when I realized how quiet it was inside. Hannah was still in school, but Kate and Rachel Lee were so quiet so I called to them and no one answered. I went inside and called them and still no answer. I went upstairs and found Kate asleep on her bed...but where was Rachel Lee? She was not in her bed, or Hannah's, or my bed...she was not in the study so I ran downstairs and she was not on the couch...I started to mildly panic...I called and called until I found her asleep on the green couch. Phew! I had some t-i-r-e-d babes!

Kindergarten Graduation Luau

LThe end of the school year is almost here and to celebrate all the work of the kindergarten kiddos we had a luau! It was a fun time honoring the first (of many!) school years!

And here is Kate's cheering squad! Way to go girlie!!
