First Swim of the Summer!

Practicing using their floaties!

Come on, Mom, take the picture so we can get in the pool- it's really bright out here!

No swim time at Grandma's is complete without ice cream and popsicles afterwards! yummy!

Memorial Weekend

Dad was the speaker at a couple of Memorial Day Ceremonies (he did a great job!)- he's pointing out to Trinity the flags coming up the walk.

One of my favorites- our beautiful children in a field of gold!

Another of my favorites- posing with Papa.

Here and There...

Silly Girl!

Eli's new best friend- Papa. When we were at Mom and Dad's for a long weekend, Dad couldn't get very far without Eli!

Uncle Jason was pushing Trinity and Eli on the teeter-totter swing...it relaxed Eli so much he conked out!

Reading Time!

Trinity and Eli take after their Mommy- they love to read!!

Happy Easter!

Easter- what a beautiful day it was! We had breakfast at church, a beautiful church service, lunch at Aaron's parents, an Easter egg hunt, and then played, played, and played some more! The weather was beautiful and we spent the day with family...all to celebrate that our Savior lives! Amen!

Taking a break from the hunt to sit with Aunt Shelly...the popsicle was better than the eggs!

Peek-a-boo!

Bowling for Big Brothers/Big Sisters

Aaron's cousin Mark asked us to go bowling for Big Brothers/Big Sisters this past weekend. We have always enjoyed it and we thought the kids would too. Trinity was usually pretty excited, but by the 2nd game, she was more interested in just running around and dancing. Eli bowled once and that was plenty for him!

There was a car there that 'wiggled'...2 quarters and it went for about 5 minutes!! The kids loved it!

A big hug from big sister

We tried to take a family picture- you see how well that worked! Eli wanted more to drink and Trinity was being shy- oh well!
