Pool Time

This past weekend it was hot in Oregon. We were sooo excited. We went to the pool in the neighboring town of Albany.

Daddy's Day

(This picture published without permission. It was, in fact, taken and published while subject was sleeping.)

David: "I'm not sure this has been a good Father's Day."

Momma: "Oh, I think it has. Sleeping is one of Daddy's favorite things."

David: "Oh, you're right!
Thomas: "#1 is sleeping."
Jonathan: "#2 is playing on his Ipad."
David: "And, #3 is giving Momma hugs and kisses."

Do You Know?

Thomas: "Momma, do you know what I am going to say next?"

Momma: "Um, no."

Thomas (with a big triumphant smile on his face): "Well, God does!"

First Day of Summer Break

On the 1st day of Summer break, Jonathan donned his Tennessee jersey. David spilled his milk on his clothes at breakfast. So, he decided he wanted to wear his jersey, too. Thomas wasn't dressed yet. He asked me to get his jersey. After breakfast, Elisabeth kept saying something over and over. It took me a few times before I realized that she was saying "My Albem". She was asking for her Alabama clothes. It was too precious to pass up.

This is what my kids looked like on the first day of summer break.

School: Before and After

Jonathan: 1st and Last Day of 3rd Grade


Favorite Last Day Moment: Jonathan could not wait to get to the car to check out his report card. He read every single line of it to me.


David: First and Last Day of Kindergarten


Favorite Picture at the End of the Day: I told David to show me how excited he was to be a first grader. He could hardly contain his excitement.


Thomas: First and Last Day of Preschool


My Favorite End of Preschool Moment: Thomas was really excited about his preschool graduation and reception. I loved watching him run around with his friends. I was really glad he got a picture with a couple of his best preschool friends.

School's Out for Summer

The kids are a little excited about summer break...

Strawberry Festival 2010

On Saturday we celebrated Strawberries. We enjoyed the 101st Lebanon Strawberry Festival. Elisabeth and Momma watched the parade. Daddy and the boys walked in the parade with the AYSO soccer float. We all had a fantastic time.

Here are 2 of my favorite pictures of Elisabeth.

Elisabeth and Momma:


Here are a few pictures of the boys in the parade.
